#2. WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio

Dominik Mysterio, the son of the legendary Rey Mysterio, is another WWE Superstar who did not experience hardship growing up. Being a famous professional wrestler, Rey was never short of money and provided a luxurious life for his children.

Dominik went to Horizon Christian Academy, a private high school located in San Diego. During his time in high school, the 24-year-old played football. He continued practicing the sport for a couple of semesters at Southwestern College in Chula Vista before ditching it to pursue a career in professional wrestling.

"I always wanted to give it a shot and just jump in the ring and see how I felt. As soon as I stepped in there, it was a different feeling. I loved it, man. I couldn't let it go at that point," Dominik told ESPN.

In early 2019, Dominik started appearing on WWE television alongside his father. He later got involved in some of Rey's storylines. At SummerSlam last year, the youngest WWE Superstar on the current roster made his in-ring debut against Seth Rollins.

Earlier this year, Rey and Dominik captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania Backlash after defeating Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler. They became the first-ever father-son Tag Team Champions in WWE history.

The Mysterios moved from SmackDown to Monday Night RAW in the 2021 WWE Draft. They recently defeated AJ Styles and Omos.
