Stephen Farrelly was born on the 28th January 1978, in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, and is a professional wrestler who, under the alias Sheamus, is probably best known for being the multiple World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Raw Tag Team Champion alongside his partner Cesaro. He is also widely recognized as a multiple WWE World Heavyweight Championship title holder.
Have you ever wondered how much wealth this Irish wrestler has accumulated so far? How rich Sheamus is? According to sources, it is estimated that the total of Sheamus’s net worth, as of early 2018, revolves around the sum of $7 million, which has been acquired through his professional wrestling career abundant with titles and honors, that has been active since 2002.
Sheamus Net Worth $7 Million
He went to Scoil Caoimhin Primary after which he attended Coláiste Mhuire Secondary School. During his youth, he was a member of the Palestrina Choir, but excelled at Gaelic football as a member of the Erin Isle’s team before enrolling at the National College of Ireland, from which he obtained his National Diploma – he was also a member of its rugby team. Upon graduation, he began his career as an IT technician, but later began serving as a nightclub security guard which eventually led him to being an occasional bodyguard for the U-2 band members Bono Vox and Larry Mullen. These engagements provided the modest basis for Sheamus’ current net worth.
In April 2002 Sheamus began training in wrestling at Larry Sharpe’s Monster Factory, and in May that year he made his official debut, however, a severe neck injury sent him off track for the next two years. In 2004 he began his tour through the European independent circuit under the flag of the Irish Whip Wrestling, which was crowned in 2005 when he won his first major title – the IWW International Heavyweight Championship title. Between 2005 and 2007, Sheamus performed within the British independent circuit, and all these achievements helped Sheamus to make a name for himself in the world of professional wrestling, and also to establish his net worth.
In November 2006 he relocated to the US, where he became part of WWE, and soon after won the Florida Heavyweight Championship title. In December 2009, Sheamus defeated notorious John Cena to win his first WWE Championship title. In the course of the next three years, Sheamus took part in several WrestleMania events, and in April 2012 he won the World Heavyweight Championship title. Between 2015 and 2016, he wrestled within The League of Nations, earning several Money in the Bank matches as well as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship contract. Doubtlessly, all these accomplishments helped Sheamus to dramatically increase the total of his wealth.
In November 2016, Sheamus partnered with Cesaro to form Team Raw, which has won four WWE Raw Tag Team Championship titles since then. Apart from all those already mentioned above, in his professional portfolio Sheamus also has two WWE US Championship titles, the 2010 King of the Ring title, 2012 Royal Rumble as well as 2015 Money in the Bank title. It is certain that all these successes have helped Sheamus to enlarge the size of his revenues by a large margin.
Some of his outside the ring on-camera appearances have included appearances in movies such as “The Escapist” (2008), “Once Upon a Time in Dublin” (2009) and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows”, as well as in the TV series “Royal Pains”. He has also been featured in every WWE video game between 2012 and 2018, which has contributed further to Sheamus’ total wealth.
When it comes to the personal life of Sheamus, he has managed to keep it quite private, except that he was dating Brooke Hubbard ’til 2013, and then in a relationship with Jessica Giles. His current base is in St Augustine, Florida.
