Apparently, you can make pretty good money if you're a WWE personality creating Cameo videos for fans. A PR firm compiled a list of the top earners and the numbers may shock you.
For those who aren't aware of what Cameo is, celebrities will send personalized messages to their fans or others who fill in requests and pay a fee for a shoutout. WWE stars and legends have begun signing up for the platform that was founded in 2016 and many of them are making extremely good money sending one-to-two minutes videos for as much as $500 a recording.
Good Brothers Digital PR compiled statistics on the top WWE earners from the Cameo social media platform and leading the way is none other than Big E.
The numbers aren't exact but the firm calculated earnings by multiplying the cost per video by the number of reviews each WWE Superstar has. Noting that reviews are not given for every video and Cameo takes a 25% commission of the earnings, it's pretty easy to see how quickly the numbers can add up.
And, these numbers are conservative. Big E currently has 501 reviews on his Cameo profile but during a recent interview with R-Truth on the R-Truth Game Show, Big E said he's already done more than 1200 Cameo videos. At $125 per video, after the commissions, Big E has made more than $112,500.
The Top Earners in WWE Are
Each celebrity sets their own rates for what they'll charge for a video. Some are pretty expensive. Ric Flair and Roman Reigns are $500 per video. Alexa Bliss, Charlotte and Sasha Banks are just under $400 each. Big E, sits at $125.
As for who the top 10 highest earners are:
- Big E – $62,509
- Ric Flair – $30,005
- Mandy Rose – $22,503
- Cassie MacIntosh (Peyton Royce) – $21,803
- Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoai – $18,003
- Mercedes “Sasha Banks” Varnado – $16,127
- Rey Mysterio – $15,002
- Lacey Evans – $14,027
- Kevin Owens – $10,432
- Kurt Angle – $9,301
WWE legends who no longer work in the company do pretty well too. Bret Hart has been estimated to have made more than anyone at over $65K with Mick Foley coming in second at almost $35K.
