The life of a WWE Superstar is not easy. There is the training, the physical conditioning, the grind of being on the road more than two-hundred and fifty days per year, and the physical toll of wrestling almost every night.
However, if you can manage to reach the echelon of the business, especially in WWE. You can make incredible money and provide a great life for yourself once your career is officially over.
According to an article from Inquisitir.com, the end of the WWE fiscal year had the company with almost $660 million in revenue, almost $40 million in operating income, over $400 million in total assets, and over $200 million in total equity, which shows you a lot about how much WWE makes per year.
The article also went into detail and broke down the top 10 earners from the WWE roster last year and a rough estimate of how much money they made in 2015, which you can find below:
John Cena – $9.5 million
Brock Lesnar – $6 million
Triple H – $2.8 million

Seth Rollins – $2.4 million
