9. Shawn Michaels ($17 million)
Shawn Michaels proved that you don’t have to be enormous to conquer the WWE ring. He is 1.85 meters and 102 kilograms which made him small compared to other wrestlers. In spite of that, he is a former WWF Triple Crown Champion.
He made his first debut in professional wrestling back in 1984. He was only 21 years old by then. Even though he has retired in 2010, he still works with WWE today as the promotion’s ambassador. Good deal to keep his $17 million net worth intact.
Thus, Shawn’s fans may still hope that he will return to the ring for good numbers and rating. It is not the first time he retired and then made a comeback anyway.
Shawn is also known as the Sexy Boy, in line with his entrance theme song with the same title by Jimmy Hart and J.J. Maguire featuring himself.
