maintained and sustained the inherent mystique of ‘The

a century.

In the WWE, The Undertaker has been a multiple time WWE
Champion, World Champion, Tag Team Champion, Hardcore
Champion and a Royal Rumble winner. However, his
greatest accomplishment is considered to be his two-
decade long streak of Wrestlemania wins which was ended

Living more than half of his life in the professional wrestling
industry, a large portion of his total earnings and income
has been through his contracts as a performer. As a full-
time talent in the 1990s, Undertaker earned amounts
ranging from approximately $400,000-$700,000 amidst the
dire straits and the financial peril of the WWE during that
period.

As the company continued its rise and popularity after the
turn of the millennium, the downside guaranteed of The
Phenom was on the verge of going in the seven figures
range. At various points in the decade of 2000s, his base
salary kept on increasing from $700,000 to $890,000 to
$950,000 to now where it surpassed the $1m mark.
Just like the other top-tier talents, The Demon from Death
Valley also yields income in addition to the base courtesy of
the bonus structure in place. He gets a portion (estimated
to be 7% according to the latest estimates) from
merchandise sales and licensing.
He is also entitled to first-class air travel, accommodations
and PPV revenue share. The Undertaker transitioned into a
sporadic performer since 2010, mostly making his
appearances during Wrestlemania season and wrestling at
Wrestlemania being one of the main draws for the
Granddaddy of them all.
He is now under a part-time contract. According to the
2016 estimates, The Undertaker netted close to $2.3m
inclusive of basics and other cuts.

business when he invested in a $2.7m building in Loveland,
Colarado along with his business partner Scott Everhart
called ‘Calahart’; which is an amalgamation of their last
