10 most richest Wrestlers of All Time 6

6. Kurt Angle – Net Worth: $20 million

If you ever doubted whether professional wrestlers are real athletes, look no further than Kurt Angle. Before he joined the spectacle of pro wrestling, Angle won an Olympic gold medal at the 1996 summer games.

Nobody learned the craft of pro wrestling as quickly as he did. In his first year in the WWE, Kurt Angle won every title the company had. While at the time, the feeling may have been it was too soon for him to win everything, looking back we could see why he was booked to win so often. His run in the WWE lasted only seven years. His chronic neck injuries led him to painkillers and alcohol abuse and he was too banged up for the rigorous schedule of the WWE. Angle signed with TNA in 2006 and he’s still the crowning jewel of the organization. He was and likely always will be their best signing. Angle only performs part-time for TNA. He was the WWE’s highest-paid star at the time of his departure and he remains the only Olympic gold medalist in wrestling history.
