WWE: 19 Former Wrestlers Who Had Salaries You Won't Believe

12. Brock Lesnar, $250,000 Developmental Contract, $1,000,000 Talent Contract In 2003 And $5,000,000 In WWE 2012

Brock Lesnar's career earnings really are astounding. He won the NCAA heavyweight wrestling title in 2000, causing an unprecedented bidding war between New Japan, the WWF and WCW. He had the look and the talent, the industry wanted him. As such, Lesnar was signed to the largest WWF developmental contract ever - he got $250,000. Upon being pushed to the main event scene from 2002 to 2004, Lesnar earned a million a year. He then left and went to the UFC, proving to be a massive box office sensation for MMA on pay per view. That caused his value to go up even higher and WWE brought him back in 2012 for a staggering $5 million dollars a year! That's insanely high when you consider he only does limited dates. It's probably a contract that WWE will look to drop when it comes up in April 2015.
