14. Goldberg (Net Worth: $14m)
Big Bill made significantly inflated his bank account during his relatively short wrestling career. Before getting into wrestling Goldberg played for football in the NFL, where he was paid handsomely despite never achieving the level of success predicted for him. Goldberg would have earned significantly more during his wrestling career. By the end of his run in WCW, he was the companies biggest earner with a $2m downside guarantee. When WCW was bought by the WWF, he decided to cash in on his contract which was paid to him by Time Warner instead of going to the WWF. When he did eventually go to the WWF in April 2003, Goldberg had a $1m downside guarantee for working a reduced schedule (although he was eventually roped into working more house show dates). Goldberg also earned big from merchandise sales and from work in film and television. (credit: celebritynetworth.com, Power Slam magazine)
