Triple H - real name Paul Levesque - has a booking contract with WWE that pays him $1 million in base salary, typically the cap for a WWE performer. And as fans well know, the in-story company COO is also the real-life WWE executive vice president of talent, live events and creative. In that role Levesque made a base executive salary of $601,933 last year, a 5% increase over the year before. All told, last year Levesque took home a cool $3.5 million in WWE pay (plus another $334,000 in company shares that vested). Last year McMahon, who controls nearly 94% of WWE's Class B shares, made $3.1 million between his base salary ($1.3 million) and cash bonuses ($1.7 million).
