MCMAHON—$1.7 BILLION

Vince McMahon, who’s the chairman and CEO of WWE, is a huge figure in the world of entertainment wrestling. Indeed, he’s one of the people who’s turned the sport into the billion-dollar empire that it is.

It was his father who introduced him to entertainment wrestling, and who owned the small wrestling company that Vince McMahon would eventually purchase and turn into a billion-dollar empire. Well, no wonder McMahon is worth $1.7 billion—he was, to his credit, able to turn a sport that very few were interested into something that millions all over the world watch and enjoy.
