Ted DiBiase was the Million Dollar Man, but Vince McMahon is the $3 Billion Dollar Man according to the latest Forbes List.
Vince McMahon is chairman and CEO of entertainment company World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which hauls in nearly $1 billion in annual revenue.
A third generation wrestling promoter, McMahon grew up in a trailer park in North Carolina and joined his father’s small wrestling company in 1972.
McMahon purchased the business 10 years later, then transformed the World Wrestling Federation from a regional operation into a global phenomenon.
WWF (now called WWE) went public in 1999; today its programs are broadcast in roughly 150 countries and more than 30 languages.
His foundation has gifted funds to the Boys & Girls Club of Stamford, CT, and Breast Cancer Alliance.
And the re-booted XFL is on its way!
