Shane McMahon’s association with the
WWE brand has been long and strong. Having started to work at the age of 15, McMahon has served several roles over the last few decades. While his current status with the brand is unclear, McMahon has amassed a fortune over the years. While he mostly worked as a wrestling promoter, his previous work also involves appearing inside the ring time and again.
What is Shane McMahon’s net worth in 2024?
Irrespective of his current work status, Shane is estimated to have a net worth of $100 million. This is a substantial amount by every stretch of imagination, but the numbers aren’t surprising. Shane’s previous work as a wrestler saw him turn up occasionally in feuds across different events. But that wasn’t his principal source of income - instead, it was his position in upper management which made him most of his money.
Having worked previously as a producer, announcer, and a wrestler, Shane finally became Executive Vice President of WWE’s Global Media. He left his powerful stint in 2009 with the aim of attempting other ventures. Till date,
Vince McMahon’s son has several other business ventures that continue to make him money. Having left the wrestling brand, he made a return in 2016.
What is Shane McMahon’s current WWE salary?
As mentioned earlier, there's a lot of confusion over his current WWE status. He was last seen in a feud at 2022’s WrestleMania against Braun Strowman. That match resulted in Strowman getting a win, and Shane made a surprise appearance at 2022’s Men’s Royal Rumble. This was his last appearance, and his mishandling the bout could have resulted in him being let go off.
His last official salary as a wrestler was estimated to be around $950,000. It’s certainly towards the higher end of finances, but comes nowhere close to what top superstars of the men’s and women’s divisions earn at the wrestling brand.
It’s also worth mentioning that Shane has a minority stake at WWE. Given the rising brand value, selling that stake would fetch him a few more millions at least, if not more.
Shane McMahon’s Personal life
Being the son of Vince McMahon, Shane is a fourth-generation wrestling promoter. He started to work for the company when he was barely a teen, and became more influential with age. His rise to stardom from being a mere staff to Executive VP is a testament of his ability to work high-pressure positions.
As a wrestler, Shane McMahon wasn’t shabby either. His feuds might not have been very common, but they were always full of entertainment. That said, an unfortunate outcome at 2022’s Royal Rumble might have brought his tenure to an end, although that yet remains to be verified.
