Vince McMahon is the first CEO and chairperson in the world who earned billions from just professional wrestling. Under his leadership, WWE became one of the top and most recognized companies in the world.

Similarly, the success of WWE earned Mr. McMahon a lot of money. During his tenure as the CEO of the company, Vinnie Mac made an enormous fortune of $2.4 billion. Recently, a top WWE official detailed how McMahon spent his money.

Former WWE VP of All Sponsorship Sale Rob Klingman recently appeared in an exclusive interview on Essentially Rasslin’ Podcast. He recalled billionaire Vince McMahon purchasing new gym equipment, which he liked while working out in local gyms while being on the road.

Klingman said, “I often times learned a lot about different maneuvers in the gym because of things he was doing. The best part I think I loved about it was he would travel on Monday Night RAW or SmackDown or PPV. He would go work out at one of those gyms on the road. If he liked that equipment, it was in our gym the next week.”

He added, “So it was amazing because Vince is very diehard about what he will work out with. And like I said about Vince, if the equipment was great, we would see at Headquarters at Stanford, Connecticut next week.”

The former CEO of WWE is a gym enthusiast, and this shows how much he likes working out. He takes his time working out seriously and therefore to train muscles in more efficient ways he purchases new equipment.

Maybe this is the way $2.2 billion net worth Vince McMahon likes to spend his money. It seems he wants his personal gym to have all the equipment that other local gyms don’t have.

Once Vince McMahon gave away millions to the fans for watching RAW

Back in 2008, RAW was struggling to get huge ratings, and to overcome the same, Vince McMahon came up with McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania. The deal was that you’d have to watch “RAW” and pay attention to a special password given at the beginning.

Fans had to register online and at the end of the show, a random fan would get a phone call to guess the password. If the fan answered the password correctly, they would win a part of a million dollars on the spot in front of a live crowd.

This sparked interest amongst the fans to watch RAW and lookout for the password. However, things didn’t always go to plan as Vince McMahon occasionally dialed the wrong number, which admittedly made for some pretty funny moments.
