#14: Ronda Rousey – $13 Million
Ronda Rousey, already a trailblazer in the UFC as its first female champion and a global sports icon, made a powerful transition to WWE in 2018. Her debut at WrestleMania, teaming with Kurt Angle, instantly put her in the spotlight.

Blending fundamental combat skills with sports entertainment flair, she quickly became dominant in WWE’s women’s division. Rousey headlined major pay-per-views, including the historic all-women’s main event at WrestleMania 35. After a brief hiatus, she returned in 2022 to reestablish her dominance, winning titles and reigniting rivalries.
