Oscar Gutierrez Rubio was born on 11^th December 1974, in Chula Vista, San Diego, California USA. He gained global popularity by being involved in the world of professional wrestling under the name of Rey Mysterio. His fame rose with his net worth during the time he spent at World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) from 2002 until 2015. He has acquired the cruiserweight championship title several times; in fact he holds the record of gaining this particular title eight times. Currently his main contract is under the Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion (AAA), where he began his professional career.

So how rich exactly is Rey Mysterio? According to sources, it is estimated that Rey Mysterio`s net worth is $8.5 million, his wealth mostly earned from contracts from wrestling associations, but there is a large amount flowing in from a marketing business based on his successful image in wrestling; selling dolls of his character and other accessories.

Rey Mysterio Net Worth $8.5 Million

Mysterio entered the world of professional wrestling at the age of 14, when he still was in high school. His uncle, Rey Mysterio Sr, taught him the high-flying style he implemented in his wrestling, called Lucha Libre. The mask by which Mysterio is known across the whole world has special meaning to the wrestlers through the Lucha Libre style of wrestling. His debut fight came on 30^th April 1989 in Mexico. A few years after his first fight he entered professional wrestling by signing a contract with Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion in 1992. Before that contract, he used many ring names like “The Green Lizard” or “Colibri” until finally his uncle gave him the name of Rey Mysterio Jr. in 1991.

The years Rey spent with Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion propelled him into more serious fighting and he was soon recognized as one of the best wrestlers using the Lucha Libre technique of quick continuous holds and maneuvers. That earned him a contract with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in 1995, but he didn`t stay long there. Next year Mysterio signed with World Championship Wrestling (WCW), debuting on 16 June 1996, in a title match which he lost, Mysterio was soon back for more and this time he won the Cruiserweight Championship. His net worth began to rise.

During that time, Rey was celebrated all around America and that glory provided him with the ultimate opportunity of his career; signing with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002. His net worth then grew constantly. Being quite mobile, but still able to hurt the big guys, he was something the world of wrestling needed. Mysterio used the chance he got and within few years won a World Heavyweight Championship title in 2006, which gave a little more boost to his net worth and also his glory. His career didn`t stop there, because he repeated that endeavor in 2011.

Rey retired from World Wrestling Entertainment in 2015, after injuries that slowed his movement, and alleged drug abuses. During his career he fought against names like Dean Malenko, Big Show, CM Punk, Dave Batista and many more renowned wrestlers. He is now back to the Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion where his career started, still dominating and winning titles.

Mysterio has also been the target of camera throughout his career. He has made a number of documentaries about wrestling, which have surely added considerable amounts to his net worth.

Regarding his personal life, the wrestler has been married to Angie since 1996, and they have a son Dominic (1997) and a daughter Ayllah (2001). Mysterio is a Roman Catholic, and is quite devoted to his religion; he proves that by crossing himself before every match, and he also has a number of religious tattoos on his body.

Aside from wrestling, Mysterio has one more passion; luxury cars. It is well known that he likes driving around and just showing-off. Cars that are in his possession include the newest models of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other brands.

Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods was born on 30 December 1975 in Cypress, California USA, of part-Chinese, and African- and Native- American (father) and Thai (mother) descent. He is one of the the world’s highest earning sportsmen, a professional golfer who was ranked number one in the world for a total of 545 weeks between in 1997 and 2010, and then for another 60 weeks in 2013-14, the most of any golfer, and during which period he won 119 tournaments on the PGA and European tours.

So just how rich is Tiger Woods? Regardless of the fact that Woods’ divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren (former Swedish model), cost him $100 million dollars – including $54.5 million in mortgage payment finalised in January 2016 – authoritative sources estimate that Tiger’s net worth is now still over $770 million, accumulated from golf prize money of around $160 million, and the rest from endorsements during a 20 year career, totalling overall more than $1.3 billion.

Tiger Woods Net Worth $770 Million

Encouraged by his father Earl, Tiger became a child golfing prodigy, already at the age of 3 putting against comedian Bob Hope. He was called on TV shows and published in Golf Digest magazine. He won age group events around the world from the age of eight, and being a 15 year-old teenager he became the youngest US Junior Amateur champion. He was educated at Western High School, Anaheim, but golf was his priority, and at 20 (1996), he became the first in golf history to win three consecutive US Amateur titles, while (apparently) studying at Stanford University.

Tiger then turned professional, and immediately signed multi-million dollar contracts with famous companies such as Nike and Titleist. Next year Woods won his first ‘major’, the US Masters, and achieved number one world ranking, the youngest and the fastest to get to that position. The list of his winnings is endless and achievements too many to mention, but apart from aforementioned 79 victories in the USA and Europe – only Sam Snead has won more(82) – he has won two Japan Golf Tour events, an Asian Tour event, one PGA Tour of Australasia event, as well as 21 titles as an amateur. Of particular significance is that Tiger has won 14 ‘major’ titles, second only behind Jack Nicklaus(18), which has included the ‘grand slam’ of golf three times. In addition, he had been awarded PGA Player of the year 11 times and the Byron Nelson award eight times. There can be no doubt that Tiger Woods has earned his net worth.

Woods is considered the most successful player of all times, partly because of his winning record, but also because he is the first and the only golfer to have earned more than a billion dollars. This fortune was made not only by playing golf, but also by signing very lucrative contracts with companies such as Rolex, General Motors, American Express, and Gatorade apart from Titleist and Nike, and becoming an ambassador for Gillette. Moreover, the businesses of Tiger Woods Foundation which promotes golf, and Tiger Woods Design which is involved with golf courses development, are also very profitable. The athlete is a published writer with “How I Play Golf” as well, which has brought him steady income from 1.5 million copies sold. He has also written a column for the magazine “Golf Digest’ – presumably both added to his net worth.

Following his very public divorce from Elin Nordegren who he married in 2004 – they divorced in 2010 and have two children – also involving details of infidelity over the years, Tiger Woods dated Olympic Games skiing gold medallist Lindsey Vonn for a couple of years, but apparently no more. He was raised a Buddhist, and professes to still follow the teachings.
