MARC MERO—$3 MILLION

Marc Mero, a retired professional wrestler, is best known for his work in WWF/WWE and WCW. He was, to his credit, one of a few wrestlers who used their real name. Actually, he did use the handle Johnny B. Badd during his stint with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling but was known as Marc Mero for the better part of his wrestling career.

He won the Intercontinental Championship in the WWF but departed the company in 1998 due to personal problems. Outside of wrestling, Mero is a motivational speaker who authored a book entitled How To Be the Happiest Person on the Planet.
