They’re beautiful, tough and talented, and make a lot of money as a result. The Divas of the WWE can do it all, and it’s interesting to see how their respective careers have evolved over the years. These ten women have earned the most out of any female wrestlers, and if you’re a WWE fan, you’re likely to find a lot of your favorites here. These ladies really have done it all, and have made millions in the process. Wrestling is one of the most profitable genres of entertainment out there, and these women are its biggest and brightest stars.

10. Sable (Est. Net Worth – $1.5M)
Men would describe Sable as the quintessential WWE Diva, thanks to her part in turning the women of wrestling into an object of fascination for men the world over. She’s married to WWE/MMA superstar Brock Lesnar, and attracted lots of attention for many of her antics in WWE’s Attitude Era, as well as appearing in numerous magazines. She was truly the face of WWE Divas at one point and still remains popular today.

9. Nikki Bella (Est. Net Worth – $1.5M)
Both Bella twins are on this list, but Nikki is just shy of her sister in terms of earnings. They’ve gone past just being divas, and have built entire brands out of themselves by starring in the WWE reality show, “Total Divas.” Nikki is currently dating the richest wrestler still in the ring, John Cena, and recently suffered an injury to her shin last year. But she’s back and is one of the most powerful forces in the entire industry, along with her sister.

8. Brie Bella (Est. Net Worth – $1.7M)
I told you both WWE twins would be here, and Brie is just a hair higher than her sister on this list, mainly because she hasn’t had to battle injury like her sister. She recently married fellow wrestler Daniel Bryan, with the relationship being heavily featured on her reality show, Total Divas. Both sisters “glory years” were from 2008 to 2012, but the focus on their show has brought them into the limelight more frequently as of late. They really are WWE powerhouses.

7. Natalya (Est. Net Worth – $2.2M)
Another product of Total Divas, Natalya married her boyfriend Tyson Kidd on the show, and has previously been a Divas champion in the WWE, where she still wrestles today. She’s the daughter of former tag team champion Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, and is the niece of famed wrestler Bret Hart. With so many family connections, it’s easy to see why she chose to go into wrestling, and it’s served her well in her career so far.

6. AJ Lee (Est. Net Worth – $2.3M)
AJ Lee is absolutely everywhere in the WWE these days, with romantic attachments (at least onscreen) to all the biggest wrestlers from Daniel Bryan to CM Punk to John Cena to Kane. Yes, Kane. Everybody needs somebody, I suppose. Last June, Lee won the Divas Championship at WWE payback, and is only 26 years old, meaning she could still have many years in the ring to come. She’s pictured with her championship belt above.

5. Lita (Est. Net Worth – $2.5M)
Finally, we’ve reached someone from my era of WWE, back when it was still the WWF. Lita was the Women’s Champion four separate times, and famously sparred with Trish Stratus regularly. She was originally tied to the Hardy Boyz for quite some time, but went solo eventually. She doesn’t wrestle any longer, but frequently appears for WWE TV events when the occasion calls for her. She’s pictured with WWE’s Edge above.

4. Trish Stratus (Est. Net Worth – $3M)
The ultimate Diva crush of my youth was without question, Trish Stratus. She’s one of the most iconic women to ever appear in the WWE, and was a seven time Women’s Champion over the course of her career, her last title coming in 2006. She rose to fame after slapping Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania X7, and went from being a manager to competitor after that. Today, she owns her own yoga studio, and has found a new career as a business owner and instructor.

3. Mickie James (Est. Net Worth – $4M)
James’ career in the WWE spanned from 1999 to 2000, and she’s also wrestled for TNA. Like Lita, she also feuded with Trish Stratus, and started out as a “fan” of Stratus before ultimately beating her for the Women’s Championship at Wrestlemania 22. She’s also a musician, and released a country album in 2010 on iTunes, which appears to be the path she wants to go down now that she’s out of the ring. Country music fans and wrestling fans tend to overlap, so it seems like a good call.

2. Stacey Keibler (Est. Net Worth – $4.5M)
Keibler has a career to match her looks. Keibler is one of the most successful WWE Divas of all time, and has found an impressive career outside of wrestling between appearances on How I Met Your Mother and Dancing with the Stars. She was also famously dating George Clooney for a good amount of time, and is probably the most “famous” of the WWE Divas, using certain metrics.

1. Torrie Wilson (Est. Net Worth – $18M)
Now we shoot way, way up the financial charts to find Torrie Wilson, who as you can see dwarfs the total earnings of any other WWE Diva. Wilson has found great success inside the ring, but also outside with an impressive modeling career, and made many lists for outlets like FHM and AskMen throughout the years She left the WWE in 2008, and is romantically linked to Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.
