Not shocked about Big Show as he's been in movies for years and a constant at Wrestlemania. I'm a bit shocked about Kurt Angle though, did he sue someone

Especially having more money than Jericho, who has about 16 different careers

I thought Kane or Mark Henry would be on the list, they've been getting a constant wage from WWE for years, and Kanes been in films and TV programmes, and doesnt seem like the kind of cunt to waste money on shite.

Kane's not really been a main event guy in WWE in years though. He's never headlined at Mania for a massive pay-day, has never really been a guy to shift huge amounts of merchandise like Punk or Rey.

There are a couple of huge omissions, I've have bet very good money that sting would have been on here, and Jeff Hardy (unless his legal fees took most of his, of course).

Thought JBL would be higher with all this business ventures and such.

Quite surprised where Randy Orton is, thought he would be higher than that. Considering he's coming up to 10 years in the company and has 6 years or so being a top talent.

Is this like a total earnings over the years?

Im not surprised by the top 5 but I would have thought HBK to be higher than 8th and Randy Orton and Kevin Nash to be worth more.

Im guessing Hogan is so low because of his divorce/his sons legal problems?

Yup. I seem to remember him doing something sneaky to sign over as much of his money as possible to his wife as the family of the kid Nick half-killed were only suing Hulk, so the more money he could get rid of, the less he'd have to pay out.
