Being a WWE Superstar is a dream, everyone who watches professional wrestling must have had once in their life.

It is considered that joining WWE, is the ultimate goal for many professional wrestlers. Well, there are many strong reasons for this popular belief.

One of the biggest reasons is that the appeal of WWE is greater than any other promotion on the planet. So, if you are in WWE, you are probably a global star.

However, apart from the fame, WWE offers a paycheck that is unparalleled. The paycheck is often the reason why many Superstars have jumped ships from rival promotions, like Mike Kanellis.

In this list, we are going to look at the 5 richest Superstars on the current roster. However, the list will include only active wrestlers.

Hence, names like The Rock, Stone Cold, Chris Jericho and The Undertaker will not be featured. Also, The Mcmahon family including Triple H is exempted.
