UFC doesnt pay THAT much... nobody makes millions a fight like boxers do. Not to mention his property is worth quite a bit. He put a lot of money into that place.
Wrong. Yes, the UFC does pay out a lot. But to make sure it doesn't get taxed because all athletes get taxed about 40% they get paid in other ways that isn't through the athletic commissions. Pro Wrestlers aren't considered "real athletes" so they are only taxed upon their income bracket.
 
It's all about the game and how you play it. Hogan **cked himself by not getting better divorce lawyers and handling his pr so bad for many years. I don't really feel to sorry for him because in a different state the vegatative friend his son almost killed their family would have took him to the cleaners before Linda ever got her crack.
 
I don't see how Steve Austin is so high up there; what does he do today? and how CM Punk is less than Edge??? How any of them is less than Edge.
Edge wrestled in WWF/E for a lot longer than Punk has and was in the main event for longer than Punk has been so far.

Plus, he did a few acting gigs here and there and hung out with Mick Foley, who was notorious for being frugal, so I'm not shocked he still has a ton of money.
 
I don't understand how Austin is worth so much? He's not exactly paid millions to do a show on CMT. I know just questioning this will get me accused of being anti-Austin/Attitude Era or something for some reason, so I'll add that I love Austin. He's not getting lead roles in high-grossing blockbusters like The Rock, I really can't figure how he's worth so much, especially considering he went through a divorce of his own.
 
Networth has nothing to do with there income as much anyway, it's how they are seen in a scale of value, like football (Soccer) players when they are brought for another club and so on. Hogan little number based on the fact of age and what has recently happened to him through the divorce. Hogan will have more the $5m in his pocket but this is showing worth,

As for Triple H and Big Show that would be something to do with how long their contracts are if Triple H has one at all and the fact the Big Show is still full time, I don't know but surely someone on here will understand this more than me I am just throwing my penny into the hat.
 
austin made like 12 million in WWE in 1999.. someone told me. the guy aint broke..
Between 98-00 Austin was making double digit millions a year so he damn sure ain't broke, plus his poor upbringing made him financially smart so he will never be in a Hogan position. As for this list i only believe the Rock & Austin figures because some of those figures are highly questionable.
 
I don't like Hogan.Respect what hes done for the business but don't like who he seems to be outside the ring and backstage,regardless of that though its fucked up.His wife didn't help him earn any of that money,why does she deserve to see any of it.
 
It's weird seeing that Brock is only worth 12 mil when Mayweather can make that in one fight versus his grandmother in boxing.
Haha you cannot compare the salary of boxers to the salary of WWE entertainers. One fight for Mayweather is easily reaching $30-50m. ONE FIGHT. So imagine 2/3 fights a year you're almost talking $100m. A WWE wrestler makes no where near this kind of money.
