5 amazing things Vince McMahon owns

It's safe to say that Vince McMahon is the ultimate winner of pro wrestling. Taking the reins of the WWF from his father decades ago, the younger McMahon turned the company from one of several small promotions in North America, to the entertainment juggernaut it is today.

As you can imagine, Vince McMahon is rich - very rich. At the time of writing, Forbes lists the WWE Chairman with a worth of $3.3 billion. Now, with all that money, McMahon has allowed himself, and his family to live in luxury, despite the fact that Vince is not opposed to taking a beating in the name of entertainment.

Not too different from other billionaires he knows, McMahon has his fair share of interesting and unique items he has collected for a multitude of reasons.

Here are 5 incredible things that the Chairman of the board owns.

#5 The ring from WrestleMania 1

The first WrestleMania was a do or die project for the company. If it had been a failure, it probably would've led to the downfall of the entire company.

Obviously, that was not the case, and with WrestleMania 35 6 months away, the show makes the WWE millions each and every single year.

Reports state that McMahon kept the ring used for the first WrestleMania in 1985 for sentimental value, and it is now locked up in WWE storage.

That show in March 1985 saw Hulk Hogan and actor Mr. T team up to defeat 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff and 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, in what would be the first of several celebrity involvements at WrestleMania.

There is something comforting to know that despite how fast his company operates in 2018, McMahon will always hold a place for the past, and never forget just how far he's come, and the risks he's taken to get here.

#4 A picture of himself

On WWE TV, Vince McMahon has been portrayed as the evil, maniacal billionaire. He is able to use his vast fortune and resources to get what he wants, and is only thwarted by those who are incorruptible (Shawn Michaels, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin).

In the past few years, a picture emerged of a younger McMahon, presumably from the early 90s, lounging at home, with a giant picture of himself in the background.

Relaxing with his dog Bosley, the relaxed, sneaker and Zubaz-clad McMahon is a stark difference to the same man in the painting, which shows a built McMahon, dressed in all white.

It seems the egotistical portrayal McMahon gives on TV may be more rooted in reality than the WWE Universe first thought, but in the Boss' defence, when you're as rich as he is, there's only so long you can go before you get a portrait.

#3 A Corporate Jet

McMahon knows how important it is for a man of his caliber to travel in style, and comfort. That is why the boss has his own corporate jet that allows him to travel anywhere he needs to be, in a manner fitting the WWE CEO position.

The jet is not just for McMahon however, as some superstars have been allowed special access to the show. This has included Charlotte Flair and Roman Reigns, who were flown to media appearances following their victories at WrestleMania 32 for the RAW Women's Championship and WWE World Championship respectively. In addition, the jet is sometimes used by WWE COO, and son-in-law, Triple H.

According to the Sportster, the Jet is a 2007 Bombardier Global 5000, and is estimated at $27 million. This is a step-up from the previous jet that he used, as he felt the need for an upgrade.

#2 A WWE Rule Book

This is not something that Vince has, but rather, something he had.

The story goes that at one point in his career, Vince wanted to do something in a storyline, that many felt wouldn't make sense. When one lowly employee told him that the finish of a match he had would break the matches rules, Vince was incensed and demanded that the employee write an actual book - or rather, a list of rules for WWE matches.

After a while, McMahon received his rule book, and after moments of flicking through it, threw it in the trash, a symbolic gesture that he decides what goes in the WWE.

Interestingly, a few years ago, the WWE would release a rulebook (as well as tips how to break those rules), which the WWE Universe can buy, and has contributions throughout the book by the chairman of the board himself.

#1 A T-Rex skull

Not an actual skull, this is a replica of a skull of the legendary dinosaur, and wasn't even purchased by McMahon himself.

Instead, this was a gift to him by Triple H, who saw the prop on the set of a movie, inquired about where he would be able to buy one, and thought it'd make a nice present for his father in law.

Costing $6,000, this is one of the cheapest items on the list, though is still a considerable amount of money for one gift.

Vince reportedly loved the present from the Cerebral Assasin, and now sits in McMahon's office, where it no doubt makes some employees nervous as they see the King of the Dinosaurs raring its teeth at them.

The skull has even been shown on screen from time to time, when the WWE have filmed inside the sacred business chamber of the boss.
