TMZ Reports How Much Randy Orton Makes Per Year In Divorce Case But Is It True?

It was noted earlier this week in the Randy Orton divorce report from TMZ that Orton makes $3.5 million per year. Orton signed a ten-year deal a few years ago.

The figures from court documents must include his income with everything figured in because the top WWE talents have a $1 million downside guarantee. 


Even with merchandise sales figured in, the numbers for Orton seem a bit high. One person with familiarity with such numbers said the report of Orton making $291,666 per month is "laughable" and that Orton may have had some specific months that big when he was headlining top pay-per-views but his guaranteed contract is nowhere near that level.

It’s pretty well known that the top tier of talents in the company earn $1 million downside and nobody is contracted for more money except the special attractions like The Rock or Brock Lesnar.
