WWE has seen its fair share of billionaires make appearances over the years. However, nothing can top ‘The Battle Of Billionaires’ between Donald Trump and Vince McMahon at WrestleMania 23.

While Trump might have won the match and shaved Vince’s head, who wins the battle of money? Whose wealth is on the rise?

Who is the richest of them all? Let’s find out.

After purchasing the business from his father, Vince turned WWE into a billion-dollar company in just a few decades, and thanks to him, pro-wrestling is a full-time profession for most wrestlers.

Most of Vince’s wealth comes from WWE, which hauls in at least $1 billion of business every year.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is the only billionaire president in the history of the United States. Trump started a real estate business after getting a small loan of a million dollars from his father.

However, rather than real estate, most of Trump’s wealth comes from his non-real estate business.

How did Vince McMahon become rich?

Forbes ranked Vince McMahon at #1517 on the billionaires’ list in 2021. Along with WWE, Vince owns Alpha Entertainment and has invested in XFL, which got discontinued due to COVID-19.

McMahon has started several WWE-related ventures, which were highly profitable as well. He launched the WWE Network in 2014 and other WWE subsidiaries related to multimedia and The Titan Towers, and The Performance Centre.
