10. Mick Foley – Net Worth: $15 million
He was the king of hardcore, having some of the industry’s most brutal matches, and he did it under multiple personas; Cactus Jack, Mankind and who could forget Dude Love? Well, if you ever read Mick Foley‘s work, maybe he can. That’s right, I said read. Foley was the first ever professional wrestler to hit the New York Times Bestseller list. Have a Nice Day was published in 1999, shortly before Foley’s retirement as a full-time wrestler in 2000. In fact, his book debuted at no.3 and was the no.1 bestseller a month later. He’s continued to write since then, and he has also taken up a career in stand-up comedy.
Foley always has a funny story to tell, and his fans are always willing to listen. He’s also learned how to branch out his work to non-wrestling fans due to his charm, sincerity and the fact that his writing skills are far better than what many would expect from a guy who’s been hit in the head too many times to count.
