John Nord – $1 Million
John Nord aka The Berzerker or Nord The Barbarian started his career in professional wrestling back in the ‘80s, when he debuted at the World Class Championship Wrestling and appeared in the American Wrestling Association. He is among those guys that changed nicknames quite a few times, though he simply used his own name in the end. After retiring from pro wrestling in 2002, he took on a pretty normal job, working at the car dealership Nord East Motors, which his brother owned.
Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts – $500k
One of the most unforgettable wrestlers, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts did not only compete in the TNA, NWA, WCW, ECW, and WWF, but he also had a rather strong ringside presence. He always brought his snakes to the ring, which earned him his nickname, and Damien the python was his most famous snake. Since going into retirement, he has had a number of health issues, one of which was getting diagnosed with muscular cancer in 2014. Though he made a full recovery, he was hospitalized again later that year reportedly due to double pneumonia.
