Kevin Nash: $8 million

A former Tennessee Volunteers college basketball player, Kevin Nash ventured briefly into professional basketball overseas before trying his hand at wrestling. Standing tall at 7 feet, Nash’s imposing presence made him a prominent figure in WCW, commanding a salary of $1.8 million in 2000.

At the age of 60, Nash is in his retirement phase, transitioning his focus to acting to fill the wrestling void. His filmography includes roles in major productions such as “John Wick,” “Magic Mike,” and “Magic Mike XXL.” Nash has also leveraged various business opportunities, estimating that he would make around $525,000 annually after retiring. He quipped in 2012, “If I can’t live on 525, I’m in trouble.”
