Chris Jericho's net worth in 2022 is $18 million. This is according to numerous outlets, including Celebrity Net Worth.

Chris Jericho was born as Christopher Keith Irvine on November 9, 1970. His parents were both Canadian. However, his father, Ted Irvine, was an ice hockey player. As he played for the New York Rangers at the time of Jericho's birth, his son was born in Manhasset, New York. After Ted retired, the family moved back to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where the young Christopher eventually grew up. As a result, Irvine holds both American and Canadian citizenships. Irvine was already a wrestling fan from an early age. He was inspired to pursue a career as a professional wrestler mainly by Owen Hart, Owen's older brother Bret, Shawn Michaels, and Ricky Steamboat. A young Christopher would also often go to the Winnipeg Arena with his family and watch local American Wrestling Association events.

Before fully devoting himself to the world of professional wrestling, Jericho enrolled in Red River College. He later graduated with a BA in creative communications in 1990. To prepare for his dream career, 19-year-old Irvine trained in the Hart Brothers School of Wrestling, where he met wrestler Lance Storm. He then began wrestling in independent shows after completing his training. He made his debut in Ponoka, Alberta, where the wrestler named Chris Jericho was born. Afterwards, he paired up with Storm and proceeded to perform in several promotions, including the Canadian Rocky Mountain Wrestling. They also toured Japan, competed in Mexico for several small companies, and later went back to Japan to compete regularly for Genichiro Tenryu's Wrestling and Romance.

Starting 1995, Chris Jericho began competing for the Philadelphia-based Extreme Wrestling Champion promotion. After finding success there, he found himself drawing the attention of World Championship Wrestling. From then on, he moved between them and several other Japanese tours before signing a deal with the World Wrestling Federation. There, the wrestler Chris Jericho started to gain global recognition.

He first stayed with the promotion for six years from 1999-2005. In 2007, Jericho returned to the WWE for another three years. He last returned to the promotion a year after in 2011, and stayed until 2018. Throughout his years with WWE, Jericho won a total of six world championships. He also became a nine-time WWE Intercontinental Championship and the fourth WWE Grand Slam Champion. Aside from his endless list of wrestling accomplishments, the perennial champion has consistently been named among various outlets as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. All of this helped to add to Chris Jericho's net worth in 2022.

Irvine has been married to Jessica Lockhart since July 2000. They have three children: a son named Ash Edward, born 2003, and identical twin daughters named Sierra and Cheyenne, born 2006. The family resides in Odessa, Florida along with their three cats.

Outside professional wrestling, Jericho has pursued several other ventures, including a music career with heavy metal band Fozzy. As a lead singer under Fozzy, Jericho adopted the persona Moongoose McQueen. The band released several albums, with earlier works comprised of covers and later ones made up of original songs. Aside from music, Jericho also tried out podcasting. The Manhasset native started hosting his own podcast titled Talk is Jericho back in December 2013. Each episode includes a monologue, followed by an interview by various personalities. Notable past guests include Paul Stanley from KISS, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, writer and director Kevin Smith, and many others, mostly within the wrestling world. His three children have also taken part.

In 2019, Jericho signed a three-year contract with All Elite Wrestling. When asked about retiring, the 51-year-old wrestler told PopCulture that the AEW “rejuvenated” him.

“You don't really think about it. I mean, obviously now at 51, there's more years behind me than are ahead of me. But if you would've asked me five years ago where I was going to go, I probably would've said, ‘I'll probably stop in the next few years.' But then AEW started and it just rejuvenated everything for me. … I don't have a deadline on that, but there's a lot more you can do than just being in the ring as time marches on.”

Most recently, Wrestling Inc. reported that Jericho agreed to a two-year extension with the company, which means the wrestling star will be with AEW until 2024. Were you at all stunned by Chris Jericho's net worth in 2022?
