15 Richest WWE Superstars Of All Time

8. Shawn Michaels (Net Worth: $17m)

Before Lesnar's record-breaking 2012-2015 contract, Shawn Michael's mid-2000's deal was the best in wrestling. Michaels was paid at least £1m (plus expenses, merchandise royalties etc.) for working a limited schedule. The Heartbreak would have earned a decent amount of money as champion in 96 and 97 but this was before the Attitude Era and the WWF were still struggling at the box-office on occasion. He earned significantly more in his post-2002 comeback. Few would argue that Michaels, one of the best of all time, deserves his financial rewards. Nowadays Shawn mainly spends his time fishing, hunting and going to church and only makes occasional appearances for WWE. He does, however, charge a hefty fee for autograph sessions and personal appearances. (credit: celebritynetworth.com, Power Slam magazine)
