Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Ric Flair: Who Has the Bigger Fortune Among Wrestling Icons?

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Ric Flair are two icons in the world of professional wrestling. Although there’s a considerable difference between the two with respect to the time that they were wrestling in, they’ve still shared the stage on multiple occasions and have contributed significantly to the WWE.
Stone Cold Steve Austin headlined the PG Attitude Era, whereas Ric Flair started out when the WWE was picking up and making a name for themselves in the world of professional wrestling. So, who’s got the bigger fortune amongst these two icons of the WWE Universe? Let’s find out.
Despite having a strong presence in the ring, Stone Cold’s performance in the ring was cut short due to injuries, which eventually forced him to retire from wrestling early. However, his personality was such that he kept attracting fans from all over the world.

After parting with the WWE, he started his own podcast, and launched his own beer brand which has seen massive success over the years. These brands are known as Broken Skull IPA and Broken Skull American Lager, and sit well with his in-ring Rattlesnake gimmick too.
Ric Flair is one of the best professional wrestlers in the world and currently holds the highest number of world titles won in the WWE. His record is currently tied with John Cena who might break it during his retirement tour, but it’s still a major feat nevertheless.

The Natureboy was a member of a legendary wrestling stable known as the Four Horsemen alongside Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson and Ole Anderson. Despite his popularity and contribution to the world of professional wrestling, his fortune isn’t that great. While it’s hard to comment on his net worth, it’s believed that his finances took a hit due to personal debts and he had a lot of run-ins with the IRS for as long as he was employed.
At this point, it’s safe to assume that Stone Cold Steve Austin has a greater net worth amongst the two wrestlers mentioned above. Ric Flair is infinitesmally more popular than Steve Austin and has contributed significantly to the world of professional wrestling especially during its heyday, so it’s safe to say that he’s wrestling royalty.
Stone Cold on the other hand, has also seen a considerable amount of success in the ring. His fortunes come solely from his investments after his WWE career ended, which makes him more of a businessman than a professional wrestler at this point in time.
