Vince McMahon is a name synonymous with the world of professional wrestling. After buying WWE from his father in 1982, McMahon went on to revolutionize the world of wrestling and entertainment.

Vince McMahon, the man behind a billion-dollar enterprise, boasts a staggering net worth of $2.7 billion. McMahon's income primarily comes from his position in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as well as from owning a large part of the company. Over the years, Vince strategically transformed WWE from a regional promotion into a global phenomenon through the concept of sports entertainment.

In 2014, he made a significant move by launching the WWE Network, which was a subscription-based video-on-demand streaming service. This platform allowed fans to access a vast library of WWE content and special events, changing the way wrestling was consumed. 

McMahon also tried his luck in American football by co-owning and operating the XFL league not once, but twice. The league's first iteration in 2001 and the revived 2020 version aimed to provide an alternative football experience but, unfortunately, both folded after just one season.

In April 2023, WWE was acquired by talent agency Endeavor for a staggering $9.3 billion. Vince McMahon's 38% equity stake in WWE translated into a pre-tax windfall of approximately $3.5 billion, further adding to his wealth. Despite a brief retirement announcement in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal, McMahon returned to WWE as Executive Chairman in January 2023. Vince McMahon's ability to thrive in the dynamic world of wrestling and adjust to new trends has solidified his status as one of the industry's most influential and financially successful people.

McMahon's assets are as diverse as his career. He owns a $40 million mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut, situated minutes away from WWE's corporate headquarters in Stamford. The luxury mansion is spread over 10 acres of land and includes multiple bathrooms, kitchens, a swimming pool, and a lot more. Vince previously owned a $12 million penthouse in Manhattan that offered 3351 square feet of space and three bedrooms, bathrooms, and a half-bath. He is also the proud owner of a sports yacht named "Sexy Bitch."
