Yesterday the WWE stock surged up, hitting $51 per-share which was an all-time high for the stock since the company went public almost 20 years ago in 1999. And with that stock increase, the majority shareholder of WWE stock, Vince McMahon, saw his net worth go up as well.

According to Forbes, Mr. McMahon’s current net worth stands at $2.2 Billion. Not only is that a whole lotta money, but it hits a net worth landmark that Vince has probably been secretly dreaming about for over 20 years. At $2.2 Billion, McMahon matched the net worth of his old rival Mr. Ted Turner—whose net worth currently stands at $2.2 Billion.

The McMahon/Turner rivalry dates all the way back to the 1990s when Turner bought the WCW promotion and put it on his Turner network in an attempt to go right at the biggest dog in the game (WWF at the time). From 1995 to 2001 wrestling fans watched as two heavyweights went at each other—with WCW taking and holding on to the ratings lead for a bunch of those years much of it thanks to Turner's deep pockets and the companies ability to use lots and lots of money to lure superstars away from WWE.

In the end, for a multitude of reasons, WCW fell apart and was bought by Vince McMahon as the spoils of a war he won. But, while Vince and the WWE may have won the Monday Night Wars, the net worth war was one that Ted Turner was winning. Until today that is!

According to Forbes, Ted Turner's net worth has stayed pretty steady between $2.1-$2.3 billion over the last four years. Whereas McMahon's was $1.2 billion back in 2014 as compared to the $2.3 billion before it dipped back to $2.2 Billion. But, Forbes also tells us that just a couple months ago, back in March of 2018, they had Vince's net worth at $1.7 billion. So, that stock surge has obviously gone a long way in pushing McMahon's value to that of his old rival. At least for today!
