How F9’s John Cena made his US$60 million net worth – and how the WWE superstar spends it (hint: on flashy cars)
John Cena is worth an estimated US$60 million, taking him a long way from his days of having to compete in eating contests to get a free meal.
But the WWE star hasn’t just relied on wrestling to earn his fortune. Here’s how the 44-year-old American entertainer built his wealth.
Like other big names working for WWE, Cena takes home extra cash via merchandise sales, and has released shirts and a number of neck chains and medallions. Massachusetts-born Cena is now even a bestselling author after releasing a series of children’s books.
His film career
Wrestling inevitably helped Cena get his start on the big screen – WWE Studios was even behind his movie debut in 2006’s The Marine, which earned him a handsome US$280,000 for the lead role.
However he enjoyed a notably slimmer pay packet for Nickelodeon’s Fred franchise – earning just US$25,000 for playing the lead character’s dad in Fred: The Movie and its sequel, and US$30,000 for Fred 3, according to Money Nation.
