What is Stephanie McMahon's net worth and salary?

Stephanie McMahon is an American corporate executive who has a net worth of $250 million. That is a combined net worth with her husband since 2003, wrestler/WWE Executive Vice President Triple H, though Stephanie is responsible for the majority of the couple's wealth thanks to her holdings in WWE's common stock.

WWE Equity

At the time of WWE's acquisition by talent agency WME, Stephanie owned around 2.5 million equity shares of WWE's common stock. In the decade prior to the acquisition those shares had been worth as little as $40 million and as much as $225 million. WWE was acquired at a price per share of $106. Therefore her stake was worth $265 million.

Early Life

Stephanie McMahon was born in Hartford, Connecticut on September 24, 1976. She is a member of the world famous McMahon family wrestling dynasty. Her father Vince McMahon is the founder, chairman and CEO of the WWE. Her mother, Linda McMahon, is a successful business woman, politician and philanthropist in her own right. Stephanie McMahon modeled merchandise in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) catalogs starting at age 13. She attended Boston University, earning a degree in Communications in 1998.

Professional Wrestling Career

At the suggestion of WWF writer Vince Russo, McMahon debuted in 1999 as the innocent and friendly daughter of Vince McMahon during a storyline involving Vince and The Undertaker. Their first storyline was The Undertaker stalking and abducting Stephanie at the end of the April Backlash pay-per-view, before being rescued by Stone Cold Steve Austin. She then began an on-screen relationship with wrestler Test, which led to an on-screen rivalry with her only sibling Shane McMahon that has continued over the years. She and Test were engaged during an in-ring ceremony, but during the ceremony, Triple H showed a video that revealed he had drugged McMahon and taken her to Vegas, where they were married in a drive-through ceremony. McMahon successfully defended her first WWF Women's Championship in 2000. She left WWF for two years before returning in 2002 as the general manager of Smackdown. After losing a match to her mother Linda McMahon, Stephanie disappeared from WWF TV for two years.

Stephanie made sporadic appearances on WWF from 2005-2007, returning first as a villain in October 2005 for Raw Homecoming, where she confronted Stone Cold Steve Austin. A visibly pregnant McMahon also returned in March 2006 on an episode of "Raw," visibly pregnant. She returned to a backstage segment in April 2007 at WrestleMania 23, visiting her father before his Battle of the Billionaires match. After his father returned to "Raw" after faking his own death, McMahon publicly revealed her father had an illegitimate child, who was on the WWE roster. She began appearing regularly on Raw in 2008 before disappearing once again. By mid 2013, she returned to regular on-air appearances in the WWE with the gimmick of a bullying owner with her husband Triple H. From 2013 to 2016, the pair acted as a power couple known as The Authority.

In 2016, Vince McMahon announced Stephanie as the commissioner of the Raw brand. She returned to Raw on the October 30, 2017 episode, confronting the Raw General Manager Kurt Angle. Upon the signing of Ronda Rousey, McMahon immediately embarked on a feud with her, leading to the tag-team match at WrestleMania 34 against Rousey and Kurt Angle and her husband Triple H. This was McMahon's first match since SummerSlam 2014 and her first-ever WrestleMania match. Her team was defeated when she tapped out to Rousey. Following this loss, she began again only making sporadic appearances on TV.

In May 2022, Stephanie announced she was taking a leave of absence from her responsibilities at the company.
