Brock Lesnar Once Admitted How $250,000 From Vince McMahon Helped Him in His Poverty: “Didn’t Have a Pot to Pi** On”

‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar is easily one of the most financially stable superstars in the pro-wrestling industry. Yes, the former WWE champion is notoriously known for his lucrative contract deals with WWE chairman Vince McMahon.

However, Lesnar was not always this financially stable. Lesnar once discussed in an interview that it was the WWE Chairman Vince McMahon who helped him with money, which eventually brought food to his table.

With his current success, it is hard to imagine it, but ‘The Beast’ does not fancy a lavish mansion or cars. Instead, he lives in Canada with his own farm and lives a minimal lifestyle outside the squared circle.

The Beast Incarnate once confessed in an interview with money talks that after he got out of college, he didn’t have enough money in his pocket. Yes, he was an NCAA champion, but not many people turn to professional wrestling after winning it.

Lesnar confessed that Vince McMahon offered him his contract worth $250,000 when he was 21 years old, which he gladly signed.

“When I got out of college, after I won my NCAA title, I didn’t have a lot of options. There aren’t a lot of options for an amateur wrestler. You can go to the Olympics or you can become a coach. The bottom line was Vince had $250,000 waiting for me, a contract on the table and I was 21 years old and didn’t have a pot to pi** in. Come on! You make the decision!” [h/t: Bleacher Report]

The deal turned out to be a blessing in disguise as Lesnar became one of the most over superstars on the planet and since then he has not stopped dominating.
