2. Hulk Hogan ($100 million)
And the runner up for the world’s richest wrestler is the legend himself, Hulk Hogan. He is what wrestling is all about. He started it all from way back in 1977. But did you know that he was actually a musician before he was a wrestler?
Hulk’s has the longest wrestling career compared to others. Until he retired in 2013, he was a professional wrestler for more than three decades.
Unfortunately, controversy and scandal ended his career. Even though Hulk said he chose to resign, WWE has a different point of view. The wrestling promotion chose to terminate Hulk’s contract due to his anti-black rant and his leaked sex tape.
Little did everybody know, that sex tape brought him most of his $100 million of net worth. Hulk has just recently got $115 million from the blog which posted his sex tape, Gawker, after the law suit ruled in his favor.
