6. The Big Show (Net Worth: $20m)
The Big Show was already a millionaire in his 20’s when he worked for WCW as The Giant. Paul Wight was pushed from the get-go and won the WCW Championship in his first match. A series of big paydays followed. In order to wrangle Wight away from WCW, Vince McMahon offered him a ten year contract worth $1m downside per year in 1999. Show left the WWE in 2006 but returned in 2008 to enter a big money (pardon the pun) feud with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Show is a WWE lifer and still brings in a huge salary. Moreover Show has managed to save his money and when he eventually retires from active in-ring competition he won’t have to work ever again. On top of wrestling, Show is also afforded his own personal bus for travelling at WWE’s expense. (credit: celebritynetworth.com, Power Slam magazine)
