Who used to laugh at the big, fake wresting shows on television? Who thought Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior were funny? Who thought WWE was for kids, and shouldn't be taken seriously? Take a look at the money Vince McMahon has in the bank. He's had the last laugh on all of you.
Making household names out of not only Hogan but 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, the Rock, John Cena and Dave Bautista, McMahon won the wrestling war when he bought out his final major competitor, World Championship Wrestling, in 2001. His wealth has grown despite his disastrous attempt to break into football with the XFL; and he wasn't put off by that failure, because he's recently confirmed he's going to try again! He has the reserves to do so; WWE's most recent round of TV rights negotiations earned them over $1bn. Will McMahon retire any time soon? 'No chance in Hell'!
