WWE may be giving women's wrestling some serious push, but the company is still "sports entertainment." And the "entertainment" part comes from Total Divas. Since 2013, this E! Network series has showcased WWE's women's private lives in fun ways. It's notable for showing them out of the ring and out of character, everything from vacations to some real fights. While several of WWE's big names (Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Sasha Banks) don't take part, numerous other ladies pop in.
There have been several regular cast members, but the show succeeds thanks to a revolving cast. The Bella Twins have gone to the biggest success with their own spin-off Total Bellas. The show is still going strong and belonging to it has added to the wealth of some of the ladies involved. Here is the net worth of ten notable cast members (past and present), which shows how starring on Divas lets a WWE lady become even richer than most of the guys in the company.
10 Carmella: $1 million
Despite what some fanciful web sites may claim, Carmella is not worth $43 million. But the "Princess of Staten Island" has done well in WWE, rising from a goofball in NXT to SmackDown Women's Champion.
Carmella also got attention with her wacky partnership with R-Truth and a good social media following. Becoming a regular performer on Divas can only add to her net worth and let Carmella live out her lavish character for real.
9 Mandy Rose: $2 million
Mandy Rose is getting attention lately thanks to her surprisingly good romantic storyline with Otis. It's no shock Rose was once a model, having built some cash up working for both fitness and bodybuilding magazines.
Her WWE contract is quite nice, and her appearance on season 5 of Divas added to her appeal. Throw in her social media followings and sponsorships, and it's likely Rose adds more cash to her net worth down the road.
8 Lana: $2 million
The wrestler known as Lana is a throwback to the days when Americans played "Evil Russians." She took off in WWE with real-life husband Rusev and got attention for her steamy outfits and crazy storylines.
Her wealth is due to how before she joined WWE, CJ Perry was a successful model, backup dancer and even in a girl band. Her exposure on the show has helped her solidify her success, and even though Rusev is no longer with WWE, Lana can still bring in the bucks.
7 Alexa Bliss: $2.3 million
A main series star in season 7 and guest in the last two, Alexa Bliss is the most successful in-ring competitor of the class. The feisty blonde stands tall (despite being barely five feet) as she's held the RAW, Smackdown, and Women's tag team titles at least twice each.
She earns $350,000 a year from WWE, and her victories have pushed her further. Combined with her great social media following, Bliss has a lot in the bank for a lady so small.
6 Eva Marie: $2.5 million
As amazing as it sounds, a woman no longer with WWE still ranks among the richest members of the Divas cast. It's likely the series was the only thing keeping the alluring redhead employed for so long. While she was gorgeous, Eva Marie was slammed by fans for her constant botches and not seeming to care about learning the business.
She was finally released in 2017, but that point had built a sizable social media audience that combines with modeling work to keep her tops in money, if not in the ring.
5 Paige: $3.5 million
The moody English woman is credited with sparking the current "Divas Revolution." The inaugural NXT champion made a big splash beating AJ Lee for the Divas title. After time away, Paige made a big return to WWE, but sadly a brutal neck injury ended her wrestling career.
But she's stayed on as an on-screen general manager and managing other wrestlers. Paige also benefited by selling her life story for the hit movie Fighting With My Family, which helps her raise her bank account a few notches.
4 Natalya: $5 million
It may seem surprising that Natalya is so wealthy, but the woman has been in WWE for over a decade and is able to save up her money. Natalya held the Divas title and then years helping other workers before clicking as SmackDown Women's champion.
Besides her good contract and bonuses, Natayla has been with Divas since the first episode to boost her fortunes. Add in being smart with her finances, and the second-generation star is doing quite well.
3 Nikki Bella: $6 million
The dynamic duo Nikki and Brie Bella used their identical looks to great success in WWE. Nikki then became famous as the longest-reigning Divas champion and remained a top star for a while. Besides their WWE contracts, the twins also have their own wine (Belle Radici) and clothing lines.
Nikki got attention from Dancing With the Stars to her short-lived engagement with John Cena and, while currently retired, earned enough for her new family.
2 Brie Bella: $7 million
It's been a little easier to tell the Bella Twins apart thanks to a little surgical work over the years. But another difference is how Brie is richer than her sister. Her success in WWE was good, but she's gained more attention as the wife of Daniel Bryan.
Besides the two reality shows, Brie also has a top-rated podcast and shares wine, clothing, and athletic wear lines with her sister. Her marriage to Bryan also gives her a little bump to put Brie ahead on earnings before her twin.
1 Ronda Rousey: $12 million
Even before joining WWE, Ronda Rousey had a major career going. True, her shocking 2015 loss to Holly Holm cut her UFC career short, but Rousey had built herself into a mainstream star. Even without her $2.1 million WWE contract, Rousey has scores of sponsorship deals as well as appearing in movies like The Expendables 3.
Rousey is still sitting out a return to WWE for now while still appearing on Total, so it's not like she's hurting for money given she's richer than half the current cast combined.
