Jerry Lawler: $7 million

Jerry “The King” Lawler remains active, defying odds. Despite experiencing an on-air heart attack and a couple of strokes, Lawler continues to step into the ring at the age of 70. In 1992, he entered WWE as both a wrestler and a broadcaster, following a twenty-year reign in dominating the Memphis wrestling scene.

Lawler held the position of color commentator on Monday Night Raw for a remarkable 18 years. Alongside his considerable salary, he enjoyed perks like first-class flights, covered hotel stays, and transportation every week. Although he occasionally wrestled for WWE, Lawler’s most substantial paycheck emerged from WrestleMania 27, where his 13-minute match against Michael Cole earned him $130,000 – marking the pinnacle of his earnings.
