That is a good chunk of money. I never saw how much they have made before, honestly I am surprised it wasn't more.

Now I know absoulotley nothing about WWE finances – except that they make a ton of money, but this seems alot lower than I imagined Vince would make. I mean don’t get me wrong $24m is still a unimaginable sum of money but do they make more from somewhere else..? If anyone knows that would be great.

  I'm pretty sure this is it. Their gross must be multiples of this, but consider WWE's production values, payroll, etc. as well as the mentioned taxes. Granted 24 million seems like a less profitable than usual year for them, it still is the ton of money you'd expect.

I wonder if these are just their personal earnings and not necessarily the overall profits of the company. Can anyone answer this? 24 million… Poor McMahons, this economy IS really putting a strain on EVERYONE! Lol

If they make a Billon dollars a year good for them. Vince has worked hard to build his company. I don't know anyone that sets out to build a company hoping it will fail or not want to be a millionaire from it. I wish I had the vision to start my own company and succeed as they have.
