close(x)

Big Show is another long time WWE employee, and has always been a big earner. Even back in WCW, he debuted with a million dollar contract. When he then went to the WWF in 1999, he continued to be one of the best paid in the industry.

He left for a year in 2007, but has otherwise been a key WWE guy and Vince McMahon favorite.

The last year saw him winning WrestleMania 31's Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy, and he then went on to have a surprising match of the year contender with Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules 2015. The rest of the year saw him mostly working in the mid-card.

His high pay is one of the reasons why he isn't in a rush to retire.
