Brock Lesnar, a former mixed martial artist and professional wrestler, has a net worth of $20 million. He gained widespread fame during his WWE career, where he became a world champion eight times, and later earned recognition for his accomplishments in the UFC, where he became the Heavyweight Champion. Lesnar has also dabbled in other sports, including football, but his true success came in wrestling and MMA.
Born in Webster, South Dakota, on July 12, 1977, Lesnar was an outstanding high school athlete, excelling in both wrestling and football. He went on to achieve significant success in amateur wrestling, winning the NCAA Division I Heavyweight Championship in 2000. Lesnar’s professional wrestling career took off when he joined the WWF (now WWE) in 2000. By 2002, he became the youngest WWE Champion in history. His first departure from the WWE in 2004 led him to briefly pursue a football career with the Minnesota Vikings and then to Japan, where he wrestled professionally.
In 2007, Lesnar made his UFC debut and rose to prominence in the organization, eventually winning the UFC Heavyweight Championship. His time in the UFC was marked by both success and injuries, and he was a key figure in some of the most lucrative pay-per-view events. After leaving the UFC following a suspension in 2017, Lesnar returned to WWE, where he continued to achieve championship success.
Throughout his career, Lesnar’s persona and ability to deliver high-profile matches earned him accolades as one of the best in the business. He is also known for his legal disputes, including a high-profile challenge to WWE’s non-compete clause and a fine for improper tagging during a hunting trip.
Lesnar is married to WWE performer Sable (Rena Greek), with whom he has two children. They live in Maryfield, Saskatchewan, and Lesnar is famously private about his personal life.
His real estate portfolio includes a former estate outside Minneapolis, which he sold for $750,000 in 2014.
