You don't get called “The Beast” for nothing. In a career that spans more than 20 years, Brock Lesnar has established himself as a multi-talented athlete. He has been a mixed martial artist, a professional football player, an amateur wrestler, and a WWE superstar. Let's dig into Brock Lesnar's net worth in 2022.
Brock Lesnar's net worth in 2022 (Estimate): $25 million
Brock Lesnar's net worth in 2022 is $25 million. This is according to numerous outlets, including Celebrity Net Worth.
Lesnar was born on 1977 in Webster, South Dakota. He grew up a student-athlete throughout his high school and college years. During his time in Webster High School, Lesnar competed in both football and amateur wrestling. In college, he first enrolled in Bismarck State College and won the NJCAA heavyweight wrestling championship. After two years, the young athlete earned a wrestling scholarship to the University of Minnesota. As a college senior, he won the 2000 NCAA Division I heavyweight wrestling championship. He was also runner-up to Stephen Neal the year before. He ended his amateur wrestling career with two All-Americans each under both the NJCAA and NCAA.
Fresh off a 106-5 overall record in four years of college, the up and coming amateur wrestler pursued a professional career and signed with the WWF in 2000. After a short two-year stint in Ohio Valley Wrestling, he became part of their main roster.
Lesnar quickly rose to prominence, even winning the WWE Championship at a record-setting 25 years old. He briefly departed from the promotion in 2004 to pursue a career in the NFL. A year later, he joined the New Japan Pro-Wrestling and became the IWGP Heavyweight Champion. He defended his title several times before competing in his last match, where he lost to Kurt Angle. It wasn't until five years later in 2012 when Lesnar returned to professional wrestling. He came back in the WWE and continued being one of the most prominent faces in the promotion, headlining many pay-per-view events including four WrestleManias. Throughout his well-decorated WWE career, he had various notable feuds against other superstars like Undertaker and John Cena.
Aside from amateur and professional wrestling, Lesnar also pursued a career in mixed martial arts and football.
Throughout his stint in the UFC, he won a championship and became one of the highest-paid performers. He retired for the first time after losing his title and being struck with another bout of diverticulitis. Lesnar previously suffered from the said intestinal disorder before and even underwent surgery to close a perforation. He returned in 2016 and won in a fight against Mark Hunt, which was later overturned after violating the anti-doping policy. In 2017, Lesnar once again retired from the UFC.
Lesnar also set aside his WWE career to pursue an opportunity in the NFL. He performed well during the combine, but he was later heavily injured in a motor vehicle accident. A resulting groin injury hampered his performance in a workout with the Minnesota Vikings. Though he later recovered, he only played a few preseason games for Minnesota before he was released.
In 2011, Lesnar co-wrote an autobiography with Paul Heyman, where he opened up about addiction and burnout. In the book, titled Death Clutch: My Story of Determination, Domination, and Survival, the professional wrestling superstar recounted his struggles with alcohol and painkiller addiction. To alleviate the extreme pain his body regularly went through, he drank one bottle of vodka a day and took hundreds of Vicodin pills a month.
Thankfully, he seems to have long since recovered. Back in 2006, the 44-year-old star married fellow professional wrestler Rena Greek, also known as Sable. They initially resided in Minnesota, but later moved to Maryfield, Saskatchewan. They have two sons, Turk and Duke, born 2009 and 2010 respectively. Lesnar also has twins from a previous relationship. One of them is daughter Mya Lynn, who is a track & field athlete for Arizon State University. The other is his son Luke, who plays ice hockey. He is also stepfather to Greek's daughter from a previous marriage.
Obviously, all of the aforementioned information aided to Brock Lesnar's net worth in 2022.
Lesnar most recently returned to the WWE again in 2021. He has since competed in matches against fellow wrestling superstars Roman Reigns, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owen, and many others. Sporting a new farmer look, Lesnar won the WWE Championship for the sixth and seventh time. He also won the Rumble again, the second time since his first win back in 2003. With that 19-year gap, Lesnar set the new longest time between Rumble wins.
