Stephanie McMahon makes a rare RAW appearance after her resignation — she still owns a stake in WWE

WWE hit a new milestone on January 6, with its highly-anticipated Monday Night Raw debut on Netflix. Kicking off the new era, several stars of the show were present at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, for the launch event. Among all the stars was none other than the princess of WWE, and wife of CCO Triple H, Stephanie McMahon.

McMahon who contributed to WWE's development and rise to global fame has stayed away from the show's spotlight since she resigned from the company in 2023. However, the rare appearances mark her link with the business that she dedicated her life to.

Professional wrestler, former WWE Diva, and businesswoman who later acted as the organization's Chairperson and co-CEO, Stephanie McMahon has earned a $150 million net worth during her 25-year-long career. This impressive fortune is jointly held with her husband Paul Michael Levesque aka Triple H, who has also been a wrestler and WWE Executive Vice President since 2003. Stephanie is also the daughter of WWE's co-founder Vince McMahon and has significant holdings in WWE's common stock.

Acting on the suggestion of WWF writer Vince Russo in 1999, Stephanie McMahon debuted as Vince McMahon's innocent and friendly daughter in a storyline involving The Undertaker. The Undertaker's initial role was stalking and abducting Stephanie, but she was ultimately rescued by Stone Cold Steve Austin. Her on-screen relationship with wrestler Test led to a rivalry with her brother, Shane McMahon.

In 2023, McMahon held a 2.47% stake in WWE, which translates to 2.5 million shares with their value fluctuating in the range of $40 million to $225 million in recent times.

In 2017, her earnings included an annual salary of $2.2 Million as the RAW Commissioner on TV and Chief Brand Ambassador of WWE, and she earned $2 million in total from WWE.

This was after 2016, when Stephanie McMahon received annual earnings of $2 million from WWE, while in 2015 and 2014, her salary as a WWE in-ring performer was $325,000 each year.

As for earnings from equity, Stephanie McMahon generated $8.3 million through the sale of 833,000 shares of WWE in 2013. Before that in 2012, her earnings consisted of an annual compensation of $778,000, which included both salary and stock grants. Additionally, the value of her stocks in WWE amounted to $280,200,000 in the same year, while her annual salary as WWE's Chief Brand Officer was $500,000. In 2009, Stephanie McMahon received annual compensation amounting to $671,000, which encompassed both salary and stock grants.

Stephanie was named as the Co-CO when Vince McMahon retired in July 2022. However, she later resigned from her role and the company, in January 2023 following Vince's return.  Stephanie has remained absent from WWE even after Vince stepped away from WWE and TKO in January 2024.
