Elisabeth and Tim Hasselbeck are the real deal when it comes to celebrity marriages. The two met while students at Boston College and have been married since 2002. Over the decades, they have experienced success in their own separate careers. Elisabeth made a name for herself as the conservative co-host of “The View” in the early 2000s, which has made her more publicly successful than her husband.
![Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Tim Hasselbeck Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Tim Hasselbeck | Getty Images Photo by Jemal Countess](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_995b7d946266da7d27aa36c861ae96af/GettyImages-100716610-crop-CelebrityNFLWivesandGirlfriendsWhoOutshineTheirHubby-TimHasselbeckElisabethHasselbeck.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
It’s reported that Elisabeth is worth about $16 million and was earning about $3 million a year during the height of her TV career. Meanwhile, Tim struggled to find his footing as a professional NFL player. Although he made good money, he was never a star player for any of his teams.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez (Broken Up)
Name a better duo than J-Lo and A-Rod. Actually, don’t answer that. You can probably name a few couples who worked out better than these two megastars. That’s okay, though, because the relationship between Jennifer Lopez and baseball shortstop Alex Rodriguez was legendary.
![Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez (Broken Up) Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez (Broken Up) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_6fb7a66a63749c9d7f601694efe3dc78/RRAH17-crop-JenniferLopezandAlexRodriguez.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Although these two didn’t work out in the long run, J-Lo had a pretty good stint as a high-earning WAG. As we all know, Jennifer Lopez is an unstoppable musician who is still performing at her peak. As a result, she’s worth a breathtaking $400 million. Alex isn’t far behind with an estimated net worth of $350 million, but there’s no doubt who made more money over the course of their relationship.
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady (Divorced)
No baddie WAG list would be complete without the one and only Gisele Bündchen. We probably don’t need to get into why Gisele is one of the top WAGS who makes more than her (ex) husband, but we’re going to do it anyways. Gisele’s net worth is double that of Tom. Her annual salary is higher, too. Let’s get into the numbers.
![Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady (Divorced) Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady (Divorced) | Getty Images Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_8e40d459cfa3ddec6f2c2325554650fd/GettyImages-1131311335-Happily-Ever-After-Celebrity-Couples-Who-ve-Stood-the-Test-of-Time-Tom-Brady-and-Gisele-Bundchen-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Gisele is worth a reported $400 million. Tom is worth about $250 million. He’s one of the highest-paid NFL players of all time, but that’s not enough to match Gisele. We guess that being one of the world’s top supermodels really pays off. Although the two are separated, we don’t think either of them will be struggling too much post-relationship.
Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie (Divorced)
Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie, a former professional ice hockey player, were married for six years. During their marriage, Hilary definitely made more money than her athlete husband. The former child star earned about $15,000 per episode when she starred in Disney’s “Lizzie McGuire” show. Today, her estimated net worth is around $25 million.
![Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie (Divorced) Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie (Divorced) | Getty Images Photo by Noel Vasquez](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_8b44123c759d684978184df68dd4691b/GettyImages-99853724-HilaryDuffandMikeComrie-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Mike didn’t do too badly himself with his professional hockey career. He comes from a wealthy family, and his largest contract with the Edmonton Oilers was worth $1.1 million. His estimated net worth is around $20 million. So we know what you’re thinking. No, they didn’t get divorced because Hilary made more money. The two separated because they grew apart but are still friendly and share custody of their kids.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries (Divorced)
Ah, who remembers the infamous Kim and Kris wedding? Good times. The fairytale marriage between the reality star mogul and former basketball player was cut short only 72 days after their 2011 wedding, but the memories will live on. The wedding alone cost about $10 million, so there were undoubtedly some big bucks where this couple was concerned.
![Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries (Divorced) Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries (Divorced) | Getty Images Photo by Denise Truscello/WireImage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_52b980691eaa3886156d6e0eb2db0fe7/GettyImages-130009539-crop-KimKardashianandKrisHumphries-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Kim’s bucks were the biggest, however. Kim has been the richest Kardashian for quite some time, with a total net worth of $1.8 billion. Staggering, we know. Kris Humphries has only accumulated about $35 million during the course of his basketball career. It’s hard to beat Kim at her own game, so we’re not judging him.
Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha
Some WAGs love to show off their relationship any chance they get. Actress Kerry Washington isn’t one of them. Kerry and football player Nnamdi Asomugha have been married for over a decade, but they’re rarely seen in public together. The private couple doesn’t need to flaunt their love or wealth to prove their relationship works.
![Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha | Getty Images Photo by Andrew Toth](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_ddca5704e5ca2d16605ac5fa4814574b/GettyImages-472172898-crop-KerryWashingtonandNnamdiAsomugha-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
It’s no surprise that Kerry is a WAG that makes substantially more than her husband. Her stellar acting career and other endorsements have helped her build a $50 million empire that she happily shares with Nnamdi. Nnamdi also makes plenty of money, what with his former NFL career with the Raiders and 49ers. He’s rumored to have $30 million in the bank.
Brie Bella and Bryan Danielson
Brie Bella, one-half of the famous WWE Bella Twins, is married to another professional wrestler named Bryan Danielson. These two pro wrestlers are for sure a power couple, but Brie is the one bringing home the most bacon. She’s supposedly worth around $18 million, and her net worth continues to grow.
![Brie Bella and Bryan Danielson Brie Bella and Bryan Danielson | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_3bbeee40a9056a2352cb858c63d2d37c/MBHENX-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-BrieBellaandBryanDanielson.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Brie is retired from pro wrestling, but she’s still in the business of making money. She has starred in a reality show with her twin sister Nikki and hosts a podcast with her as well. In addition, she has a clothing line and is launching a new reality TV show, which will rake in even more than she already has in the bank.
Jewel Tankard and Ben Tankard
Jewel Tankard is one of the most beloved WAGs out there. She’s married to Ben Tankard, a former NBA player who took up a second career as a jazz musician and producer. The Tankards are a power couple in the spiritual community and starred in the Bravo show “Thicker Than Water” for a few years. All the information about Jewel and Ben’s net worth couples them together, but we have a feeling Jewel makes just as much, if not more, than Ben.
![Jewel Tankard and Ben Tankard Jewel Tankard and Ben Tankard | Instagram/@jeweltankard](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_88ee97ab14fc2d9236eba5f4ec38fb77/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-crop-IGJewelTankardandBenTankard.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Jewel and Ben are both listed as having a $5 million net worth, thanks to their years of hard work and business ventures. Jewel is a savvy businesswoman who has started several clothing lines. In addition, she’s all about inspiring women to achieve financial independence and pursue entrepreneurship. We love to see it.
Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher
Carrie Underwood and ice hockey player Mike Fisher have a charmed life. The two are incredibly successful and have a pretty solid marriage. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that they each make a ton of money. When they met in 2008, Carrie was a successful singer. Mike already had plenty of successful years with the Ottawa Senators under his helmet.
![Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher | Instagram/@carrieunderwood](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_d78082ea90d00d67f8efdf925b8a3c08/Carrie-Underwood-IG-and-Mike-Fisher-40-WAGs-Who-Make-More-Money-Than-Their-Athlete-Partner-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Carrie’s earnings are substantially more than Mike’s, but the two are pretty grounded. Mike makes a living of about $1 million yearly, which isn’t too shabby. Carrie, on the other hand, rakes in about $20 million from her music, endorsements, and celebrity appearances. Considering that her career is still going strong, there will be more financial success in her future.
Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker (Broken Up)
Fake or not, Kendall Jenner has been linked to a ton of different high-profile athletes and actors throughout the years. Through all the ups and downs in the tabloids, one thing has remained constant. She’s always been the highest-earning person in every coupling, rumored or otherwise. When she started dating NBA player Devin Booker, people started pulling out their calculators.
![Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker (Broken Up) Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker (Broken Up) | Alamy Stock Photo by John Angelillo/UPI](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_4e2aa6e2c3723f15a4dc2464847c6811/2HN3982DevinBookerwithKendallJenner202240WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Alas, Kendall was once again a richer WAG over the course of the duo’s relationship. She’s worth around $60 million, and Devin has a net worth of about $30 million. Kendall’s riches are only expected to grow because of her various business ventures, including a tequila brand. It’s hard to compete with a member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, even if you are a wildly successful athlete.
Barbie Blank and Joe Coba
Barbie Blank, better known as Kelly Kelly, is a famous professional wrestler who is married to bodybuilder Joe Coba. Barbie is a WAG who is simultaneously more famous and more financially successful than her partner, and we love to see it. In fact, Barbie was a cast member of the reality show “WAGS” when she was married to hockey player Sheldon Souray.
![Barbie Blank and Joe Coba Barbie Blank and Joe Coba | Instagram/@joebcoba](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_9513b9cd850352f286c1cf52591012fb/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-crop-IGBarbieBlankandJoeCoba.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
But that’s neither here nor there. The real reason Barbie is on this list is because of her financial success as a professional wrestler. She’s estimated to have a net worth of $3-5 million, which is a lot more than Joe’s projected $2 million. Barbie’s pretty ambitious, so we can’t wait to see what she does next.
Larsa Pippen and Scottie Pippen (Divorced)
Larsa Pippen married NBA player Scottie Pippen at the height of his career in 1997. The two were married for decades and share four kids. Larsa may have skyrocketed into the public consciousness when she starred in the first season of “The Real Housewives of Miami,” but she was a well-known WAG among NBA fans beforehand.
![Larsa Pippen and Scottie Pippen (Divorced) Larsa Pippen and Scottie Pippen (Divorced) | Getty Images Photo by Phillip Faraone](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_cd002e5ad63297b1c3aaf95b93fb895a/GettyImages-918896046-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-ScottiePippenandLarsaPippen.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
While Scottie made over $100 million over the course of his career, his net worth isn’t as high as one might think. He lost some money in bad investments and has had to pay child support for his eight kids over the years. It’s for these reasons Larsa has the potential to out-earn her ex. She currently has a net worth of $20 million thanks to “The Real Housewives,” her various businesses, and social media endorsements.
Iggy Azalea and Nick Young (Broken Up)
Iggy Azalea and Nick Young had a notoriously scandalous relationship that ended in nasty rumors and a broken engagement. What’s not scandalous, however, is how much more Iggy made than Nick when they were together. Iggy was riding the high of her hit songs like “Fancy” when the pair started dating in 2014.
![Iggy Azalea and Nick Young (Broken Up) Iggy Azalea and Nick Young (Broken Up) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_9682aa2ddcbd10a41903e11d78e66486/TY9FB6-crop-IggyAzaleaNickYoung-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Nick Young was a well-established NBA player on the Los Angeles Lakers at the time, so he was also making a pretty penny every year. Iggy undoubtedly made more off her music, making her a higher-earning WAG, if only temporarily. Iggy’s fortunes have taken a turn, but Nick is worth a reported $25 million. Too bad that the relationship didn’t last.
Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch
Okay, hear us out on this one. Sure, Peter Crouch is a soccer player with two FIFA World Cup appearances under his belt and holds the record for most headed goals in the Premier League. But, his supermodel wife Abbey Clancy might surpass his earnings if she keeps up her career and wise business ventures. Right now, Peter is worth about $35 million, which is truly staggering to think about.
![Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch | Instagram/@abbeyclancy](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_6af62e9627a532c09e5611808aee5f98/igAbbeyClancyandPeterCrouch-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
On the other hand, Abbey is worth around $5 million. There’s a huge gap, but Abbey is a WAG worth watching because her star keeps rising. Peter is retired from soccer, and Abbey is still working. She’s a television host, author, reality show contestant, and podcast host. We won’t be surprised if she surpasses her husband’s $35 million someday soon.
Hilary Rhoda and Sean Avery (Separated)
Hilary Rhoda and retired ice hockey player Sean Avery were together for many years. During the course of their relationship, which started in 2009, Hilary was almost always the one bringing in the most cash. The “Sports Illustrated” model is worth about $11 million, mostly thanks to her lucrative deal with Estée Lauder.
![Hilary Rhoda and Sean Avery (Separated) Hilary Rhoda and Sean Avery (Separated) | Instagram/@imseanavery](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_83a4e49e0fd4c35ca6c1bb28ac126a3a/ins-HilaryRhodaandSeanAvery-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Sean didn’t seem to be bothered by his partner’s higher income. Instead, he’s made a name for himself in the world of hockey and beyond. Sean Avery retired from the NHL in 2012 and has since written a book, started a podcast, and dabbled in modeling. He’s worth about $8 million.
Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker
Vanessa Hudgens became a WAG when she started dating MLB player Cole Tucker in 2020. Their relationship started in a pandemic-era Zoom meditation group of all places. (The lockdown was a wild time, right?) The couple is now happily engaged, and both are extremely successful. Despite Cole’s rising MLB star, Vanessa is definitely the higher earner of the two.
![Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker | Instagram/@cotuck](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_4871d953ebd60f3c63a4232e6ca74e39/VanessaHudgensandColeTuckerIG40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Vanessa found early success as a Disney Channel actress and is now worth about $18 million. Cole has done pretty well in his career and is currently a minor-league baseball shortstop. He also played in the major leagues and has racked up a few million over the years. His net worth comes in at around $4 million. Not too shabby.
Victoria Beckham and David Beckham
Is there a WAG more iconic than Victoria Beckham? The former Spice Girl has turned her former pop music career into a fashion empire, making her worth almost $450 million. She’s also just as famous for her solid decades-long relationship with soccer legend David Beckham. The couple met back in 1997 and are still going strong until this very day.
![Victoria Beckham and David Beckham Victoria Beckham and David Beckham | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_e9252cb50c0ac1d4ae5dfd28df9ea3e7/2EH00EM-crop-TheShortestLeadingLadiesinHollywood-DavidBeckhamandVictoriaBeckham.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
While it’s reported that David is worth just as much as Victoria, she’s definitely the busier of the two when it comes to business ventures. Victoria has made millions from her music and big-name endorsements with brands like Armani and Estée Lauder. However, she’s not one to sit back and promote someone else’s brand. She has launched her own makeup, eyewear, and clothing brands with much success.
Adriana Lima and Marko Jarić (Divorced)
Adriana Lima is one of the world’s hottest supermodels, and Marko Jarić is a famous former basketball player. When they got together in 2006, they immediately became a power couple. Adriana carried that relationship when it came to earnings, however. The super hot supermodel makes about $11 million a year and is worth a whopping $95 million.
![Adriana Lima and Marko Jarić (Divorced) Adriana Lima and Marko Jarić (Divorced) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_7c0f10bb348657a036811d947a74f3fe/C2RN8M-crop-AdrianaLimaandMarkoJaric-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Adriana is a WAG with more than just money under her belt. She was Victoria's Secret’s longest-running model from 2000 to 2018, which is almost unheard of in the fast-paced modeling world. On top of that, she has acting credits and big brand endorsements. Marko Jarić wasn’t too shabby during their marriage, either, with a net worth of $20 million.
Shakira and Gerard Piqué (Seperated)
Shakira and Gerard may no longer be together, but the two were a definite power couple during their 11-year relationship. The Spanish soccer superstar and the world-famous Colombian singer were never legally married, so it’s pretty easy to track who made the most money. It’s a cold, hard fact that Shakira’s earnings kicked Gerard’s income out of the park in comparison.
![Shakira and Gerard Piqué (Seperated) Shakira and Gerard Piqué (Seperated) | Getty Images Photo by Frazer Harrison](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_178213c873d0f15d5eb045309cda7199/GettyImages-492053011-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-ShakiraandGerardPiqu.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Shakira has a net worth of $300 million, which is only growing. She’s one of the most successful Latina artists of all time, and she’s still making new music. Gerard, on the other hand, retired from soccer in 2018 and is worth about $80 million. He owns a production company and a couple of soccer teams, but that income is nothing compared to Shakira’s millions.
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson
Jessica Simpson’s romantic life was a bit rocky during the post-Nick Lachey years. However, there’s no doubt that her professional career was always on the up and up. When she met her husband, football player Eric Johnson, she already had a well-established, successful career and a lot of money.
![Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson | Instagram/@jessicasimpson](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_e6dffe481da59f616bac626f705df288/JessicaSimpsonigandEricJohnson-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
That’s why it’s no surprise that Jessica is the more financially successful of the two. She has a net worth of $200 million, and she’s not stopping her business ventures anytime soon. Not only is she a singer, but she’s also an actress, entrepreneur, and small business owner to boot. Did Eric marry the ultimate girl boss? Most definitely. He’s one lucky guy.
Sloane Stephens and Jozy Altidore
We love when a famous WAG is an accomplished athlete herself. Sloane Stephens is a perfect example. The professional tennis player is with soccer player Jozy Altidore, and the couple is a perfect match. They’re both incredibly accomplished in their respective fields, but Sloane has a leg up when it comes to earnings.
![Sloane Stephens and Jozy Altidore Sloane Stephens and Jozy Altidore | Instagram/@sloanestephens](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_e4bfca416dbf01b7f1fc239ae69ddf30/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-IGSloaneStephensandJozyAltidore.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Sloane is worth about $22 million, which comes from her tennis winnings, competitions, and various brand endorsements. She’s still professionally playing tennis, so she has a high potential of earning even more. Her partner Jozy is currently worth $8-10 million, with the potential to earn more in his future career as well. We’re excited to see where their careers take them.
Elisha Cuthbert and Dion Phaneuf
While Dion Phaneuf played professional hockey for over a decade, Elisha Cuthbert has been working since she was a little kid. By the time the two met in 2008, Elisha was already making bank from her acting career. Today, she’s worth a reported $20 million, while her husband’s net worth is around $1 million. We don’t think Dion minds, though.
![Elisha Cuthbert and Dion Phaneuf Elisha Cuthbert and Dion Phaneuf | Getty Images Photo by Jeff Vespa/WireImage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_7aae786b4f91b25b2896c38381a82664/GettyImages-156668131-crop-ElishaCuthbertandDionPhaneuf-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The two have been married since 2013 and have two kids. Considering that the couple has been married for more than a few years, it’s safe to assume they have an understanding of their finances. Elisha continues to act here and there, and Dion has accepted a few sports-adjacent endorsements over the years. All in all, Elisha is a well-established WAG who likes to stay under the radar.
Kate Upton and Justin Verlander
Kate Upton and baseball hubby Justin Verlander are on this list because even though Justin has a higher net worth, Kate is the one with the highest social currency. The “Sports Illustrated” model was the hottest it-girl in the 2010s, and her name is still way more recognizable than Justin’s. At one point, she was one of the highest-paid models in the world, raking in $7 million in just one calendar year.
![Kate Upton and Justin Verlander Kate Upton and Justin Verlander | Instagram/@kateupton](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_507a97d362fafd64a2d2dde1ea9a5de4/igKateUptonandJustinVerlander-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Today, Kate’s modeling and acting careers have taken a backseat to being a mom and supportive wife to Justin, whose MLB career is flourishing. However, that doesn’t mean she isn’t making money. It’s estimated that she makes at least $5 million a year, mainly off social media. While we don’t know her exact net worth, some estimate it to be around $28 million.
Mallory Edens and Aaron Rodgers
We all know that Aaron Rodgers is one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks. Alongside his wildly successful football career, Aaron has high-profile endorsement deals and a lucrative stake in the Milwaukee Bucks. Needless to say, Aaron is rolling in the dough. But, he may have met his financial match in Mallory Edens, his current rumored partner.
![Mallory Edens and Aaron Rodgers Mallory Edens and Aaron Rodgers | Getty Images Photo by Stacy Revere](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_7fbec7ebbcbecae95c5b3a0ddb7d1cbd/GettyImages-1392675418-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-MalloryEdensandAaronRodgers.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Mallory Edens is the daughter of Wes Edens, a billionaire businessman who is the primary owner of the Bucks. Yes, the same Bucks that Aaron has a stake in– coincidence? Regardless, Mallory Edens is a WAG to watch because she’s presumably set to inherit quite a bit of money on top of the income she earns as a model. Her dad’s worth over $3 billion. If their relationship remains strong, Mallory and Aaron could be a new power couple.
Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Perrie Edwards and soccer player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain started dating back in 2017 and now share a son and a very full life together. The two had well-established careers when they met each other, making Perrie an uber-successful WAG. Perrie is a member of the British pop group Little Mix and was already a millionaire when she started dating Alex.
![Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain | Instagram/@alexoxchamberlain](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_991607fb178c3b11cc52ae3ecb17cb81/ins-PerrieEdwardsandAlexOxlade-crop-Chamberlain-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Although we don’t know the couple’s exact earnings, sources say that Perrie is worth a staggering $50 million. She also earns about $4 million annually through her Little Mix career and other endorsements. Alex isn’t doing too bad himself. He is worth around $16 million and isn’t set to retire from soccer anytime soon, so he’s only set to earn more as the years go on.
Antonela Roccuzzo and Lionel Messi
Antonela Roccuzzo and Lionel Messi’s love story is straight out of a movie. The two were childhood friends who reconnected and fell in love later in life. Antonela just happens to be a gorgeous model, and Lionel is just casually one of the best soccer players of all time. They’re also both incredibly successful. You know, normal stuff.
![Antonela Roccuzzo and Lionel Messi Antonela Roccuzzo and Lionel Messi | Instagram/@antonelaroccuzzo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_8f354e4e07c7082c93e969a5d3cd5555/AntonellaRoccuzzoigandLionelMessi-crop-TheRight-HandWomenBesideYourFavoriteAthletes.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Antonela is featured as a WAG on this list not because she earns more than her partner but because she has huge social sway. Considering that Messi is worth a jaw-dropping $600 million, we forgive Antonela for not making a higher annual salary. However, Antonela’s earning potential grows with her social media following. She’s worth $20 million and continues to score lucrative modeling and influencer sponsorships, earning her around $500,000 per post.
Georgina Rodríguez and Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez met in 2017 at a Gucci store. The rest is history. The Spanish-Argentinian model and Portuguese soccer star are among the world’s wealthiest power couples. Cristiano is rumored to be worth about $500 million, making him one of the richest athletes in the world. It’s hard for any partner to match up with those kinds of earnings, but Georgina has paved her own way.
![Georgina Rodríguez and Cristiano Ronaldo Georgina Rodríguez and Cristiano Ronaldo | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_f5c19e19af207ba9d6265a32c57e7999/2DGY8TW-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-GeorginaRodriguezandCristianoRonaldo.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Georgina might not have a higher financial net worth than her partner, but she has way more social currency. The model and influencer has a huge presence on social media, with over 48 million Instagram followers. Over the years, she has landed huge social media deals worth over $5 million, and her reach is only growing.
Ayesha Curry and Stephen Curry
Stephen Curry is one of the world’s highest-paid athletes and has a net worth of $160 million. So, it’s kind of hard to expect his wife, Ayesha Curry, to surpass these insane earnings. However, Ayesha’s on this list as a WAG to watch because she’s grown her own business empire that is flourishing alongside the NBA player’s career.
![Ayesha Curry and Stephen Curry Ayesha Curry and Stephen Curry | Instagram/@ayeshacurry](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_8143881943ae5d1ae9cf648c2979fa42/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-crop-IGAyeshaCurryandStephenCurry.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
After dabbling in acting, Ayesha pivoted to building her culinary empire. The beloved WAG has hosted her own Food Network show, “Ayesha’s Homemade,” and has published several cookbooks. On top of that, she has her own line of cookware and has been a guest judge on several reality shows. Right now, Ayesha is worth about $20 million, but we predict more earnings in the future.
Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo (Broken Up)
Before her husband, Eric Johnson, came onto the scene, Jessica Simpson dated Tony Romo. Jessica dated the quarterback in 2007, and she was the breadwinner. In the early 2000s, Jessica was still riding high from her reality show and hit pop songs. You’d think Tony would be thrilled to date one of the most beautiful women in the world, but he broke up with her the day before her 29th birthday.
![Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo (Broken Up) Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo (Broken Up) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_03a48fe73471931c6e242a7d09c71c3e/JMW2HX-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-jessicasimpsonTonyRomo.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Oh well. Jessica can take solace in the fact that she totally beat Tony when it came to their bank accounts. She even bought him a $100,000 boat right before they broke up, which he reportedly got to keep. Wow, Tony. To this day, Jessica still makes bank. She’s worth about $200 million, while Tony is worth about $70 million today.
Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn (Divorced)
Actress Angie Harmon and former New York Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn were married for 13 years, which is an eon in Hollywood years. While together, they had highly successful careers in their respective fields. The “Law & Order” actress made a bit more than her athlete husband, which we love.
![Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn (Divorced) Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn (Divorced) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_0a0dd8b34aa07e266e2de944b9dff46a/CG4DPX-AngieHarmonandJasonSehorn-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
During the peak of Angie’s TNT show “Rizzoli & Isles,” she was reportedly paid $185,000 per episode. That’s a whole lot of moolah. Jason had retired from football in 2003, so it seems that Angie was the partner with a consistent salary for most of their marriage. That’s not to say that Jason didn’t carry his weight. He’s worth about $20 million.
Erin Andrews and Jarett Stoll
Erin Andrews is one of the most well-known sportscasters in the nation. She joined ESPN in 2004, and her career has since skyrocketed. Even though she’s married to retired professional hockey player Jarett Stoll, she’s definitely the breadwinner in the family. Erin is worth an estimated $30 million, compared to her husband’s $16 million net worth. Talk about scoring big.
![Erin Andrews and Jarett Stoll Erin Andrews and Jarett Stoll | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_526714c51b657c6b79b9b36003ed1799/shutterstock_151791473-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-ErinAndrewsandJarretStoll.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Erin and Jarett met, unsurprisingly, at a sporting event. Erin was reporting on the 2012 World Series, and Jarett snuck into the dugout to introduce himself. Besides her successful career as a sports commentator, Erin has also appeared on “Dancing with the Stars” and the “CMT Music Awards.” Not bad, Erin, not bad.
Leanne Brown and Wes Brown (Separated)
Becoming a “Real Housewife” is a big achievement for some WAGs. The fame, the drama, and (of course) the money are all perks that come with achieving reality TV stardom. Leanne Brown knows all about “Real Housewife” stardom. She was formerly married to Manchester United soccer player Wes Brown and has made a fortune of her own.
![Leanne Brown and Wes Brown (Separated) Leanne Brown and Wes Brown (Separated) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_1576563a882294528131159ccce2210d/EAMNPC-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-WesBrownLeanneWassell.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The “Real Housewives of Cheshire” star is worth $5-10 million. She’s used to living a lavish, opulent lifestyle thanks to her income from the reality show, clothing lines, and various social media endorsements. While there’s no verified information about how much Wes is worth, we’re pretty sure Leanne can stand on her own, thanks to her business savvy.
Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe
Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe are perfect example of a successful athlete power couple. Sue is a retired basketball player who played for the Seattle Storm WNBA team. Megan is a world-famous soccer player on the US women’s national team and the National Women’s Soccer League. Megan’s name and face might be more recognizable to the average fan, but Sue is the more financially successful WAG in this situation.
![Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe | Instagram/@sbird10](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_b58608bf9447b582ab9f458365a65e5a/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-crop-IGSueBirdandMeganRapinoe.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Over the course of Sue’s athletic career, she’s amassed a fortune close to $10 million. She earned this money through her basketball contracts and endorsements with brands like Nike and Glossier. Megan still has some time to catch up, though. The soccer star is worth around $4 million but is still actively playing and accepting endorsement deals with brands like BodyArmor and Luna Bar.
Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson (Broken Up)
Khloé Kardashian shares two children with Canadian-American basketball player Tristan Thompson. The reality star and LA Lakers player met in 2016 and quickly started a whirlwind romance. Khloé was already a well-established star by the time she met Tristan, so it’s not surprising that she had more money in the bank during the course of their relationship.
![Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson (Broken Up) Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson (Broken Up) | Getty Images Photo by Jerritt Clark](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_ec906c0afa2f3f6270f900867226821d/GettyImages-930538154-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-khloeandtristan.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The Kardashian family is absolutely loaded, and Khloé is rumored to be worth around $60-80 million. That’s a tough number to compete with, so we don’t think Tristan minded that his $9.2 million contract with the Celtics didn’t match up. Tristan has nothing to worry about, though. His total net worth is pretty close to Khloé’s at around $50 million.
Ronda Rousey and Travis Browne
Ronda Rousey is a legend in the MMA world, so it’s no wonder she’s a WAG with more money than her husband. She married Travis Browne in 2017 and the two have become a well-known couple in the world of MMA and WWE wrestling. While Travis is worth around $500,000, Ronda has made much, much more.
![Ronda Rousey and Travis Browne Ronda Rousey and Travis Browne | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_d6c88371dde2707590cb6f6464ebec34/PAD1JP-crop-TravisBrowneandRondaRousey-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
After her UFC career, Ronda signed with WWE, and her earnings only continue to grow. She’s worth around $14 million and supposedly makes over a million dollars a year. She’s also dabbled in acting, with credits on shows and movies like “Entourage” and “The Expendables 3.”
Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush (Broken Up)
Unless you were living under a rock in the early 2000s, you vividly remember Kim Kardashian’s relationship with NFL player Reggie Bush. The pair met at the 2007 ESPY Awards and dated for about two years. Reggie was playing for the Saints at the time, but Kim K’s career was starting to take off after a certain video was released.
![Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush (Broken Up) Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush (Broken Up) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_b7267f8d26920ea2ae24e3729d0bf223/2HYW5CB-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-KimKardashianandReggieBush.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Kim was worth about $85 million at the time and probably made more money than Reggie when they were dating. Reggie earned a whopping $13 million in a 2007 option bonus, but Kim’s income just kept growing. The two reportedly broke up to focus on their individual careers. Considering that Kim is now worth over $1 billion, we think she made the right decision.
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade
Gabrielle Union is a WAG who may not make as much as her athlete husband, but she is just as successful in her own right, not to mention the more familiar face of the two. The actress married former NBA player Dwyane Wade in 2014, and the two of them are financially made in the shade. Dwyane is worth an eye-watering $175 million. While Gabrielle is worth less in comparison, we don’t think a net worth of $40 million is half-bad.
![Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade | Getty Images Photo by Jerritt Clark](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_25a60201dc1b543e9f8a1a3685e38e68/GettyImages-1170191244-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-DwyaneWadeandGabrielleUnion.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Gabrielle makes her money completely independent of her husband. She’s an accomplished actress, author, model, and business owner whose income is set to grow in the coming years. Gabrielle has dabbled in everything from wine to haircare products, and we can’t wait to see what she does next. She still faces some friendly competition from her husband, though.
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens
We’ve all heard of Simone Biles. She’s an incredibly talented gymnast who has earned four Olympic gold medals and 25 World Championship medals. Obviously, she’s the G.O.A.T. when it comes to gymnastics. Well, Simone is also a member of the WAG club because she’s partners with NFL football safety Jonathan Owens.
![Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens | Instagram/@simonebiles](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_3800b82bbe6f066fc8f22782a0f3f6d2/igSimoneBilesandJonathanOwens-crop.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Simone has many years of professional athleticism under her belt, making her the higher earner in this partnership. As of right now, she’s worth $16 million. Jonathan’s net worth is around $7 million, but he’s still young and doesn’t have any plans to retire from the NFL. Regardless of Simone’s future earnings, there’s no doubt that she’s made her fortune with plenty of time left to enjoy it.
Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett (Divorced)
Kendra Wilkinson was typecast as the sports-loving blonde on “The Girls Next Door,” so it was no surprise when she got together with NFL player Hank Baskett. The pair met during a Playboy golf tournament and were married in 2009. They even starred in a reality TV show together called “Kendra,” which undoubtedly bumped their salaries.
![Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett (Divorced) Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett (Divorced) | Getty Images Photo by Isaac Brekken](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_a913dfab2b12da90f87c4c8424c77ce4/GettyImages-694043062-HankBaskettKendraWilkinson-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Although Hank was already experiencing tremendous success and lucrative contracts in his NFL career, Kendra was on top when it came to income. The model and reality star is worth about $6 million, compared to Hank’s $3.5 million net worth. Even though they’re no longer together, they share two kids who no doubt reap the benefits of both their parents’ wild success.
Elisha Cuthbert and Sean Avery (Broken Up)
Elisha Cuthbert is a self-professed huge fan of hockey. She even maintained an NHL blog called “Hollywood Hockey Thoughts” back in the early 2000s. It’s no wonder she eventually became a WAG by dating Canadian hockey player Sean Avery for a couple of years. Unfortunately, the relationship went down in infamy when Sean made some unkind “sloppy seconds” comments when she started dating Dion Phaneuf.
![Elisha Cuthbert and Sean Avery (Broken Up) Elisha Cuthbert and Sean Avery (Broken Up) | Getty Images Photo by J.Sciulli/WireImage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_e167c7a896de4ba92a60f4ab9fa73744/GettyImages-135124136-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-ElishaCuthbertandSeanAvery.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We wouldn’t be too upset about those comments if we were Elisha because she makes way more money than her unfortunate ex. Elisha’s acting career has garnered her a staggering net worth of $20 million. Sean might be a famous hockey player, but his earnings don’t hold a candle to Elisha’s. He’s only worth around $8 million.
Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona
It’s pretty common for WAGs of professional wrestlers to be also involved in the sport. Chelsea Green and Matt Cordona are excellent examples. Both Chelsea and Matt (aka Zack Ryder) are professional wrestlers who met on the job, making them a fan-favorite couple in the WWE world.
![Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona | Instagram/@chelseaagreen](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_f74ee180ee16c39da8bc391a9372b49c/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-crop-IGChelseaGreenandMattCardona.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
While Matt has had a great career as Zack Ryder in the ring, Chelsea has seen a bit more financial success. Chelsea’s net worth is around $5 million, and Matt’s is around $1 million. Chelsea still works with WWE, while Matt works with the National Wrestling Alliance, which could account for the difference in pay. Either way, we love to see a wrestling queen paid accordingly.
Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler (Divorced)
Kristin Cavallari first turned heads when she was a 17-year-old star of the MTV reality show “Laguna Beach.” Since those early days, Kristin has built a career as a TV personality, actress, and fashion designer. She was also married to quarterback Jay Cutler for several years, making her a pretty impressive WAG alum.
![Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler (Divorced) Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler (Divorced) | Getty Images Photo by Jason LaVeris](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_1846064de4cf3fc68d8ed4bce3a368b3/GettyImages-674217594-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-JayCutlerandKristinCavallari.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Although the couple has since separated, they share children and an amicable relationship. Thankfully, Kristin isn’t pressed for cash post-marriage. It’s estimated that she has about $30 million in net worth accumulated from her various projects over the years. Jay is now retired and it’s estimated that he has a similar net worth.
Kathryn Edwards and Donnie Edwards
If you’re a reality show fanatic, you probably recognize Kathryn Edwards from the sixth season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” She’s been with her husband, former football linebacker Donnie Edwards, since the early 2000s. Donnie had a successful career in the NFL that left him with a whole lot of cash, but Kathryn has a successful career all her own.
![Kathryn Edwards and Donnie Edwards Kathryn Edwards and Donnie Edwards | Instagram/@donnie_edwards](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_71710c433cda4b91b652264214bd32e1/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-IGKathrynEdwardsandDonnieEdwards.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Before “The Real Housewives,” Kathryn was a top model with Elite Model Management. She even modeled for Nike’s first “Just Do It” marketing campaign. On top of modeling and reality TV, she’s dabbled in acting with a few guest spots on shows like “Married With Children.” All in all, Kathryn is worth about $8 million when combined with Donnie’s income. Not bad for only starring on one season of “Real Housewives.”
Tanya Bardsley and Phil Bardsley
Tanya Bardsley is the longest-running cast member of “The Real Housewives of Cheshire” and a popular WAG among fans of the franchise. She’s married to British soccer player Phil Bardsley, who is worth an estimated $4 million. Despite Phil’s fortune, Tanya isn’t riding his coattails.
![Tanya Bardsley and Phil Bardsley Tanya Bardsley and Phil Bardsley | Instagram/@tanyabardsley7](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_a6b3204252be7fd714c75f31614f90c5/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-crop-IGTanyaBardsleyandPhilBardsley.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She is a WAG who makes her own money. Tanya appears to have made about $3.5 million from starring in “Real Housewives,” modeling, and her own business brands. Her career is going strong, and there’s no sign of Tanya pumping the brakes anytime soon. So, we think she can easily out-earn her husband in the next few years.
Jonelle Price and Tim Price
You know what they say. The couple that rides together stays together. Wait, they do say that, right? If they don’t, they should look at Jonelle and Tim Price. The equestrian couple are both professional horseback riders who work as a team to be the top in their field. Good thing Jonelle decided to quit law school to become a rider because she’s currently one of the highest-ranked female equestrians in the world.
![Jonelle Price and Tim Price Jonelle Price and Tim Price | Instagram/@jonelle_price](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_c9aabfc329220db9805a0034e6e703dc/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-IGJonellePriceandTimPrice.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The equestrian power couple have been together for decades and even attended the Rio Olympics together to compete on the same team. Since the couple’s finances are closely tied, it’s hard to decipher who makes more. However, some estimates put Jonelle on top, with an estimated net worth of up to $5 million, compared to Tim’s estimated net worth of $1-5 million.
Veronica Rodriguez and Finn Balor
Veronica Rodríguez is heavily involved in the world of sports, so it makes sense that she would eventually get hitched to an athlete. The Mexican sportscaster reached WAG status when she started dating WWE wrestler Finn Balor. The couple kept things hush-hush until they wed in 2019, so it’s unclear how they met.
![Veronica Rodriguez and Finn Balor Veronica Rodriguez and Finn Balor | Instagram/@verolaguera](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_f4f1c85aee07972c45a488f9a3b473d8/igVeronicaRodriguezandFinnBalor-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
What is clear, though, is that both of them are very successful. Vero makes just as much, if not more, than Finn. Finn earns about $1 million a year and has a net worth of $3 million. While it’s unclear how much Vero makes as a sports journalist, her net worth is up to $5 million.
Kerri Walsh and Casey Jennings
You could say that Kerri Walsh is a pretty accomplished WAG. She’s a retired beach volleyball player and Olympic medalist. No big deal. She married fellow volleyball player Casey Jennings in the early 2000s, and the couple has been together since. Both players were early in their careers when they met and wed, and they’ve supported each other through thick and thin.
![Kerri Walsh and Casey Jennings Kerri Walsh and Casey Jennings | Instagram/@kerrileewalsh](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_716260346a0edf6dd9dd3a7feb559a7e/igKerriWalshandCaseyJennings-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Over the course of her career, it seems like Kerri has amassed a larger net worth than her husband. She’s worth about $6 million, while Casey is worth somewhere between $1-4 million. It’s kind of hard to parse out who is richer because the two have been married for so long and presumably share finances.
Serena Williams and Corey Maggette (Broken Up)
Serena Williams transcends WAG status and stands in a category all her own, but we’ve included her on this list because of her short-lived relationship with basketball player Corey Maggette. The two dated for a few months in the 2010s, making Serena stand out among other WAGs in sports history. She’s a 23-time Grand Slam champion, after all.
![Serena Williams and Corey Maggette (Broken Up) Serena Williams and Corey Maggette (Broken Up) | Shutterstock & Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_eb4eede169b3715ca947f93474e9d2ac/BeFunky-collage-SerenaWilliamsandCoreyMaggette-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Serena has earned a staggering amount of money over the course of her tennis career. She’s basically the G.O.A.T., so it makes sense that she would be worth around $260 million. Her annual income is outrageously high, with tons of money coming from tennis prize money, brand endorsements, and business investments. Corey’s estimated net worth is $68 million, which is still impressive but doesn’t hold a candle to his ex’s achievements.
Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev
Nikki Bella is the ultimate WAG because she makes more and is a bit more famous than her professional dancer husband, Artem Chigvintsev. The now-married couple first met when Nikki was competing in “Dancing With the Stars,” and the two were paired together.
![Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_3ac265ee1ae3929b3ccef76056b2c71f/W4XH85-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-NikkiBellaArtemChigvintsev.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Although Artem is a highly accomplished dancer worth about $6 million, his wife is worth almost $8 million. Nikki is a retired WWE wrestler and has since branched out with other lucrative business ventures. She has a podcast with her identical twin Brie and has co-starred on various reality shows. On top of those accomplishments, she has upcoming TV projects that are sure to make her even more money.
Ana Boyer Preysler and Fernando Verdasco
Ana Boyer Preysler is a WAG who flies under the radar, but she’s actually worth millions. The influencer and socialite married tennis star Fernando Verdasco in 2017, who is worth an estimated $9 million. Although there are no hard estimates about Ana’s net worth, some say it’s around $5 million. However, she might be worth more simply because of her background.
![Ana Boyer Preysler and Fernando Verdasco Ana Boyer Preysler and Fernando Verdasco | Instagram/@ferverdasco](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_2262cea207e2bfb82140bad5c53717ba/igAnaBoyerPreyslerandFernandoVerdasco-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Ana is the daughter of socialite Isabel Preysler and the late Spanish economist Miguel Boyer. Here’s another fun fact: Enrique Iglesias is her half-brother. Ana obviously comes from a powerful, wealthy family, which no doubt means that she has generational wealth. She may not make an annual income as high as Fernando, but we have a feeling she might have a bigger safety net.
Mariah Carey and Derek Jeter (Broken Up)
Mariah Carey and Derek Jeter were one of the hottest celebrity couples of the 90s. Although the relationship didn’t last, Mariah’s time as a WAG served her well. Dating the Yankee shortstop inspired her to leave a toxic relationship and branch out. Although Derek was already making millions with his baseball career, Mariah was on his level.
![Mariah Carey and Derek Jeter (Broken Up) Mariah Carey and Derek Jeter (Broken Up) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_29cadec935b75f05c3d103252bc46fda/DNTXCJ-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-MariahCareyandDerekJeter.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Mariah was already making millions of dollars off her hit albums, including a whopping $32 million for her album “Music Box.” Today, Mariah and Derek are worth even more than when they were dating. Derek’s net worth is $200 million, but Mariah’s is $340 million. Also, her Christmas song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” is no joke. Mariah rakes in at least $3 million a year in royalties from that single song.
Jessie James and Eric Decker
Jessie has made a name for herself as a famous WAG who leads a luxurious lifestyle with her NFL husband, Eric Decker. The two of them are incredibly successful, but Jessie is more than a sidekick. She makes money in her own right through her singing career and side business ventures. Eric Decker makes about $1 million annually and is reported to have a net worth of $15 million.
![Jessie James and Eric Decker Jessie James and Eric Decker | Getty Images Photo by Jason Kempin](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_b265ad001162991af1812110c00bd717/GettyImages-1187493175-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-EricDeckerandJessieJamesDecker.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Jessie’s earnings are pretty close at an estimated $12 million. Not quite more than Eric, but we included her because her earnings grow year after year so it can change any minute. She continues to make money off her music and special sports-related performances. On top of that, she started an online clothing business that has grown to brick-and-mortar locations in the South. She’s a pretty savvy businesswoman, making her a WAG to watch.
Magali Gorré and Dean Gorré
“Real Housewives” star Magali Gorré is a writer and TV personality who surpasses her husband’s income by a landslide. She married soccer player Dean Gorré over two decades ago and had a pretty low-key media presence until she joined “The Real Housewives of Cheshire” in 2015.
![Magali Gorré and Dean Gorré Magali Gorré and Dean Gorré | Instagram/@magaligorre](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_a17ff314828673fa9080df691dbe1390/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-IGMagaliGorrandDeanGorr.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Once Magali became a beloved character in “Housewives,” the dough started rolling into her bank account. Her side income as an author and columnist has also boosted her income. It’s rumored that her net worth is anywhere between $5-25 million. Dean’s net worth is estimated at around $1 million, making Magalie a definite high-earning WAG.
Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez (Broken Up)
Eva Longoria dated Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez very briefly in the 2010s. Alas, Eva was not meant to be a long-standing WAG with Mark, because they broke up after only a few months. There’s no definitive reason for the breakup, but rumors swirled that Mark was a pain to be around when his team kept losing. Oh well.
![Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez (Broken Up) Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez (Broken Up) | Alamy Stock Photo & Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_1c328a9fda9fe15e5ea5f173384481bd/EvaLongoriaandMarkSanchez40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
This short-lived relationship was no great loss to Eva, who made way more than her ex when they were dating. At the time, Eva was raking in millions of dollars on “Desperate Housewives” and other projects, as well as income from endorsements with brands like L’Oreal. Today, Eva still stands as the higher earner. Mark’s annual football salary has decreased, and Eva’s income just keeps rising. She’s worth an estimated $85 million compared to Mark’s $40 million.
Ciara and Russell Wilson
Singer and songwriter Ciara isn’t a WAG who makes more money than her athlete husband, but she’s just as famous. That definitely counts for something! Ciara’s husband is legendary quarterback Russell Wilson, who is worth a wild amount of money. $165 million, to be exact. That puts him in the top 50 highest-paid athletes in America, so can we really be disappointed that Ciara doesn’t make as much? No, we can’t.
![Ciara and Russell Wilson Ciara and Russell Wilson | Getty Images Photo by Phillip Faraone/FilmMagic](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_0ab90e2facc38482b87cdc6d4f7f5c97/GettyImages-1161309452-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-RussellWilsonandCiara.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Ciara holds her own, though, and has a successful career outside of her marriage. Ciara has a net worth of $30 million. She still makes money off her music, brand endorsements, and rap features, which she’s rumored to charge up to $70,000 for. She makes about $4 million annually, which is incredibly impressive for anybody, let alone a world-famous WAG.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Cutter Dykstra
Actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler is a WAG who already had a wildly successful and established career when she met her husband, Cutter Dykstra. Even if you don’t recognize her name, you definitely know her face. Jamie-Lynn is best known for her role as Meadow Soprano in the famous HBO show “The Sopranos.” At the peak of “The Sopranos,” Jamie-Lynn raked in $150,000 per episode.
![Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Cutter Dykstra Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Cutter Dykstra | Instagram/@jamielynnsigler](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_a2ab3512e41d7b3706ae5a01c686535b/ins-Jamie-LynnSiglerandCutterDykstra-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Not bad. She’s worth about $12 million, which sounds like a pretty sweet deal for her and her husband. If Cutter’s last name sounds familiar, that’s because he’s the son of famed MLB play Lenny Dykstra. Cutter played minor league baseball before retiring and is worth around $2.5 million. We’d stay retired, too, with that kind of safety net.
Misty May-Treanor and Matt Treanor
Who knew volleyball was such a lucrative sport? Misty May-Treanor knows just how impressive the sport can be. She’s a WAG who is not only an athlete but a rich one at that. She’s married to former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Matt Treanor, and the two are set for life because of their athletic careers.
![Misty May-Treanor and Matt Treanor Misty May-Treanor and Matt Treanor | Getty Images Photo by Mark Sullivan/WireImage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_3824dfa79db446c46e5dc4c01a2a1fa1/GettyImages-148316543-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-MistyMay-TreanorandMattTreanor.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Misty may be retired, but she was able to accumulate three Olympic medals and a net worth of $6 million during her career. She married Matt Treanor in 2004 and is still happily married with kids. Matt didn’t do too badly during his sports career, either. He’s worth about $3 million from his time playing for teams like the Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals, and the Miami Marlins.
Samantha Steele-Ponder and Christian Ponder
Many sports fans know Samantha Steele-Ponder as the host of “Sunday NFL Countdown.” She’s also achieved nationwide fame as the ultimate WAG through her marriage to former football quarterback Christian Ponder. He played for the Minnesota Vikings, SF 49ers, and the Denver Broncos. No big deal.
![Samantha Steele-Ponder and Christian Ponder Samantha Steele-Ponder and Christian Ponder | Instagram/@samanthaponder](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_4839953a455aa60ee39aabf6575b6556/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-crop-IGSamanthaSteele-PonderandChristianPonder.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Christian’s net worth is estimated anywhere between $5-12 million, so it’s hard to say whether Samantha is a WAG who makes more than her husband in any given year. However, experts estimate Samantha’s net worth to be a jaw-dropping $15 million, so she’s got more money and assets. Her sportscasting career is still going strong and she’s sure to achieve new financial heights in the next few years.
Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons (Broken Up)
Before Kendall Jenner was linked to NBA player Devin Booker, she dated another basketball player. Tabloids speculated in 2018 that she was dating basketball player Ben Simmons. They were, in fact, correct, making Kendall a higher-earning WAG in this athlete-centric relationship.
![Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons (Broken Up) Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons (Broken Up) | Getty Images Photo by James Devaney/GC Images](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_704260bed59bfff35d44bc54f73d72dd/GettyImages-1124825007-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-BenSimmonsandKendallJenner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Kendall is worth a sizzling $60 million, thanks to her family’s reality shows and her modeling career. She’s also a savvy businesswoman, with ventures like Instagram endorsements and a tequila brand under her belt. Ben only started his professional basketball career in 2016, so there’s plenty of time for him to financially catch up to his ex’s earnings. As of right now, his net worth is about $8 million. Keep going, Ben. We believe in you.
Kathryn Edwards and Marcus Allen (Divorced)
Before Kathryn Edwards married NFL player Donnie Edwards and became a reality TV star, she was known as Kathryn Eickstaedt. She was also an original WAG from the 90s because she was formerly married to NFL running back Marcus Allen. She was a WAG before that term even existed. Basically, she set the precedent for all the glitz and glamor we see in modern-day sports relationships.
![Kathryn Edwards and Marcus Allen (Divorced) Kathryn Edwards and Marcus Allen (Divorced) | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_27635cfe7d857837c28f3b1efad1f91d/KathrynEdwardsandMarcusAllen40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Even though Marcus and Kathryn have divorced and moved on, their relationship history was rehashed when Kathryn joined “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast. While it’s not clear who was the breadwinner of that relationship, Kathryn is doing pretty well for herself these days. She’s reportedly worth $8 million, while Marcus has about $4 million to his name.
Ashley Boccio and Chris Hogan
Ashley Boccio is one remarkable WAG. She’s married to football wide receiver Chris Hogan and the two are dedicated to each other and their respective careers. Ashley technically doesn’t make more than Chris money-wise, but her career is quite impressive. She’s an accomplished podiatrist who was able to complete her surgery residency while pregnant with the couple’s twins. No big deal.
![Ashley Boccio and Chris Hogan Ashley Boccio and Chris Hogan | Instagram/@chrishogan_15](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_fc4f6103d964809e3aaf53288906a4ce/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-crop-IGAshleyBoccioandChrisHogan.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Oh, yeah. We guess Chris worked pretty hard, too. But finishing medical school while juggling pregnancy, newborns, and the demanding schedule of a football wife? That’s darn near impossible. Ashley’s net worth is around $500,000, which is small compared to her husband’s $6 million. However, we think Ashley’s accomplishments are so impressive that she’s worth putting on the WAG list. What can’t this woman do?
Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee
There are plenty of successful WAGs who are athletes themselves. Tennis player Caroline Wozniacki is one of the highest-paid female athletes in the world. It’s no wonder she makes just as much, if not more, than her husband, basketball player David Lee. Although there are no hard numbers out there, it’s an educated guess that she is worth about $50 million.
![Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee | Instagram/@carowozniacki](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_b49377fce7f3d089d9b99e06ed43c7ec/CarolineWozniackiIGandDavidLee-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
With that insanely high amount of income, it’s hard to say if Caroline makes more than David. Experts speculate that the former New York Knicks player is worth anywhere between $40 to $65 million. Both athletes are now retired from their respective fields, so their income might change year-to-year. All we know is that neither of them are pressed for money.
Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti (Divorced)
Did you know that actress Ashley Judd used to be a WAG? She was married to race car driver Dario Franchetti for over a decade. That makes her an ex-WAG with plenty of social currency. The actress is most famous for her starring roles in iconic 90s and early-2000s films like “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.”
![Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti (Divorced) Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti (Divorced) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_e157b21c691b792d72c2782e844997a5/2E0MG0J-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-AshleyJuddandDarioFranchitti.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Today, her net worth is over $14 million. However, race car drivers get paid some serious cash. Dario is worth a few million dollars more than his ex-wife, but Ashley is focused on other things. She has a second career as a humanitarian and activist, raising money for various non-profits. She may not have more money in the bank, but her legacy will live on for much longer.
Keyshia Cole and Daniel Gibson (Divorced)
Keyshia Cole and former Cleveland Cavaliers player Daniel Gibson were together for almost ten years. During that time, Keyshia was always the top breadwinner. The singer-songwriter has an established career that has garnered tons of fans and millions of dollars over the years.
![Keyshia Cole and Daniel Gibson (Divorced) Keyshia Cole and Daniel Gibson (Divorced) | Getty Images Photo by Johnny Nunez](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_d2d8627300cd0e242ecd3d201cd516fd/GettyImages-173093613-crop-KeyshiaColeandDanielGibson-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Keyshia has been singing since the age of 12, and all of her hard work has paid off. Keyshia is worth millions. $8 million, to be exact. Daniel isn’t too shabby himself, with a net worth of $4 million. Before retirement, he scored many high-profile contracts that helped him make his fortune. The couple separated in 2017, but they’re still amicable. So, their son is pretty much set for life.
Candace Cameron Bure and Valeri Bure
You may recognize Candace Cameron Bure as D.J. Tanner from “Full House.” Not many people know that she’s a WAG on top of a successful actress, producer, and author. Candace has been married to former hockey player Valeri Bure since 1996. The two met at one of Val’s hockey games, thanks to the interference from Candace’s “Full House” co-stars Bob Saget and Lori Loughlin.
![Candace Cameron Bure and Valeri Bure Candace Cameron Bure and Valeri Bure | Instagram/@candacecbure](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_4721b0325d8b45c1034e9d691c3eca8a/CandaceCameronBureIGandValeriBure40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The rest is history, and the couple has since experienced many successful years. Valeri Bure is now retired from professional hockey and is worth an estimated $14 million. That net worth is tied up with Candace’s, and we guess that she’s the breadwinner in this situation. She’s a published author and has starred in over a dozen Hallmark Channel films. On top of that, she’s the CCO of the Great American Media.
Alex Morgan and Servando Carrasco
Plenty of WAGs are actually way more famous than their athlete spouses. Soccer player Alex Morgan is a perfect example. Even if you’re not a soccer fan, you’ve at least heard of Alex Morgan’s career as a top player on the US women’s soccer team. She’s a top player who has made plenty of money throughout her career thanks to her incredible talent and drive.
![Alex Morgan and Servando Carrasco Alex Morgan and Servando Carrasco | Instagram/@alexmorgan13](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_8faa710c7af6baf64cf1d90417af553f/AlexMorganIGandServandoCarrasco-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She married her husband, Servando Carrasco, in 2014. Servando is also a professional soccer player, but he’s not as famous as his wife. He’s a midfielder for Fort Lauderdale CF, and the couple is used to having a long-distance relationship in order to focus on their careers. Their dedication to the sport and each other has paid off because Servando is worth about $500,000. Alex, on the other hand, has a $3 million net worth.
Brooklyn Decker and Andy Roddick
Model Brooklyn Decker is toe-to-toe with her husband when it comes to personal finances. She married tennis star Andy Roddick in 2009. The two have been able to successfully balance their careers and family life in a way that looks effortless. Because the couple is so close and intimate, it’s hard to parse out who makes what, but it seems that the couple’s combined net worth is around $40 million.
![Brooklyn Decker and Andy Roddick Brooklyn Decker and Andy Roddick | Instagram/@brooklyndecker](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_3fc8bc461d3842cf4be38a68410538ec/BrooklynDeckerIGandAndyRoddick-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We don’t know exactly how much Brooklyn and Andy make annually, but it might be an even split. Andy made his millions during his tennis career, but he’s now retired. Brooklyn’s career is still pretty active, even though she no longer models. The former “Sports Illustrated” cover girl has acting credits in shows like “Grace and Frankie” and “Ugly Betty.”
Ashleigh Barty and Garry Kissick
Ashleigh Barty is the ultimate WAG queen. She’s a Grand Slam tennis player, has a doting husband, and has reached it all before her 30th birthday. She married her longtime partner, Garry Kissick, in a lowkey ceremony, and the two are working on growing their family.
![Ashleigh Barty and Garry Kissick Ashleigh Barty and Garry Kissick | Instagram/@gazlfc90](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_86fddd7d07a2e8687fa5459071b20370/AshleighBartyandGarryKissickIG40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Garry is a PGA trainee professional and is just starting out in his career. Ash, on the other hand, is already retired from professional tennis. She hit the court, saw what she needed to see, and bounced. Her early retirement was worth it because Ash is worth an estimated $47 million. Garry’s still worth quite a lot, but not as much as his high-achieving wife.
Paulina Gretzky and Dustin Johnson
If Paulina Gretzky’s last name sounds familiar, it’s because she’s the daughter of famous hockey player Wayne Gretzky. The model, actress, and pop singer is married to top professional golfer Dustin Johnson. Although Dustin is worth $50 million, Paulina is WAG royalty because of her famous athlete father.
![Paulina Gretzky and Dustin Johnson Paulina Gretzky and Dustin Johnson | Getty Images Photo by Chris Trotman/LIV Golf](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_bced174ac94d6eeba897d38fd7e78d40/GettyImages-1411313462-crop-DustinJohnsonandwifePaulinaGretzky202240WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Paulina has a net worth of around $5 million that she earned on her own through modeling and acting. She’s probably set to inherit some of her father’s $250 million fortune, which would push her over the top compared to her husband. Hopefully, that inheritance doesn’t come for quite some time. We’re sure Paulina and her husband would much rather spend precious time with Wayne instead.
Serena Williams and Amar'e Stoudemire (Broken Up)
Serena Williams isn’t currently a WAG, being married to Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit. However, she achieved WAG status very briefly when she dated basketball legend Amar'e Stoudemire. When the two were dating, Serena was well on her way to becoming one of the greatest tennis players of all time. That’s why it’s no surprise that she made way more money than Amar'e.
![Serena Williams and Amar'e Stoudemire (Broken Up) Serena Williams and Amar'e Stoudemire (Broken Up) | Getty Images Photo by Kevin Mazur](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_076deca773477eb90bbfc21ae1429e58/GettyImages-103902145-crop-AmareStoudemireandSerenaWilliams-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Back in 2010, Amar'e made about $19 million annually under his contract with the Phoenix Suns. There’s no publicly available information about her 2010 earnings, but we’re sure Serena’s paycheck far surpassed Amar'e’s. She earns, on average, $8 million a year from tennis alone, plus off-court brand endorsements, prize money, and partial ownership of the Miami Dolphins.
Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom (Divorced)
Any romance with a Kardashian is bound to be in the tabloids, so it’s no wonder Khloé’s former relationship with NBA player Lamar Odom was so well-publicized. The two met in 2009 and quickly got married that same year. Even though Lamar had a highly successful basketball career, there’s no doubt that Khloé was way more financially successful.
![Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom (Divorced) Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom (Divorced) | Getty Images Photo by Steven Lawton/FilmMagic](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_48df3fe07ff9e9834d9a5d358e8a0b53/GettyImages-131886262-WeForgiveYouTheseCelebsHaveSurvivedSomePrettyBadDecisions-KhloeKardashianandLamarOdom.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Khloé is worth millions. Literally. Her family’s hit reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” along with her own reality shows, clothing lines, and brand deals, has set her up for success. She’s worth a reported $60-80 million. On the other side of the court, Lamar is worth around $30 million. Measly, right?
Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Tim Hasselbeck
Elisabeth and Tim Hasselbeck are the real deal when it comes to celebrity marriages. The two met while students at Boston College and have been married since 2002. Over the decades, they have experienced success in their own separate careers. Elisabeth made a name for herself as the conservative co-host of “The View” in the early 2000s, which has made her more publicly successful than her husband.
![Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Tim Hasselbeck Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Tim Hasselbeck | Getty Images Photo by Jemal Countess](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_995b7d946266da7d27aa36c861ae96af/GettyImages-100716610-crop-CelebrityNFLWivesandGirlfriendsWhoOutshineTheirHubby-TimHasselbeckElisabethHasselbeck.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
It’s reported that Elisabeth is worth about $16 million and was earning about $3 million a year during the height of her TV career. Meanwhile, Tim struggled to find his footing as a professional NFL player. Although he made good money, he was never a star player for any of his teams.
Stephanie McMahon and Triple H
Triple H, aka Paul Michael Levesque, is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. It’s no wonder he paired up with WWE royalty Stephanie McMahon, creating the ultimate wrestling power couple. The two legends are unstoppable when it comes to money and clout in the wrestling world.
![Stephanie McMahon and Triple H Stephanie McMahon and Triple H | Instagram/@stephaniemcmahon](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_bb2fd9b08e9ef4964f480c115a8e5752/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-IGStephanieMcMahonandTripleH.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Stephanie McMahon is more than Triple H’s wife. She’s the daughter of the former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO and comes from the famous McMahon family, who are the founders of the entire WWE franchise. Stephanie is worth an estimated $150 million and owns 2.5% of the WWE company. Triple H is the Chief Content Officer of WWE, so he’s doing pretty well himself.
Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz (Broken Up)
Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz met in 2006, and Jenna most likely made more money than him while they were together. Tito, a former MMA fighter, had an extremely successful athletic career and is one of the richest fighters in the world. It’s rumored that he’s worth about $20 million, thanks to his past career and current clothing line.
![Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz (Broken Up) Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz (Broken Up) | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_4b74ff610a341c2690ae533ed41e2091/shutterstock_458291092-crop-jennajamesonandtitoortiz-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
On the other hand, Jenna was raking in the dough in her own industry when the two were together. There are rumors that she was worth over $30 million at the height of her career, which is pretty flabbergasting. Although the two had a pretty messy separation, there’s no denying that they were the ultimate hot power couple back in the early to mid-2000s.
Shawn Johnson and Andrew East
Becoming an Olympic athlete is no easy feat, which is why gymnast Shawn Johnson is so impressive. She’s a gold and silver medalist and even competed in “Dancing With the Stars” a few years after her athletic success. To top it all off, she’s a high-achieving WAG who is married to football player Andrew East.
![Shawn Johnson and Andrew East Shawn Johnson and Andrew East | Instagram/@shawnjohnson](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_56e338c0f3d816da63013222b0671454/ShawnJohnsonIGandAndrewEast-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Shawn and Andrew are both retired from their athletic careers, and it seems Shawn made the most money. She’s worth about $9 million while her husband has a net worth of $5 million. That’s no problem for the happy couple, who now run a successful YouTube channel that has over one million followers.
Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied
You may be shocked to hear that actress Natalie Portman is a WAG, but hear us out. Her husband, Benjamin Millepied, is a professional dancer and choreographer. The world of dance is just as intensive and competitive as team sports, so he totally counts as an athlete. The couple started dating when Benjamin taught Natalie how to dance on the set of “Black Swan,” and the rest is history.
![Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied | Getty Images Photo by Bertrand Rindoff Petroff](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_616da7c32a70b1385104377b068d952d/GettyImages-472895664-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-BenjaminMillepiedNataliePortman.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Benjamin had a successful career in ballet that helped him amass his $10 million fortune. Sadly though, the couple were revealed to be separating in 2023. And Natalie has far more in the bank. Her decades-long acting career and bank account were no doubt juiced by her role as Jane Foster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She has a whopping $90 million net worth, which is pretty impressive.
Khloé Kardashian and James Harden (Broken Up)
It seems that being extremely rich is a requirement for dating a Kardashian. Khloé and famous basketball player James Harden dated for a few months in 2015. James is, by far, one of the world's highest-paid athletes. Not to mention that he’s one of basketball’s greatest shooting guards. Despite this impressive resume, some people are still surprised to discover that James is technically worth more than Khloé.
![Khloé Kardashian and James Harden (Broken Up) Khloé Kardashian and James Harden (Broken Up) | Getty Images Photo by George Pimentel & Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_04e47846b0b12b519df5f8ce7f09be26/KhloKardashianandJamesHarden40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
But there’s a catch that puts this former couple on our WAGS list. James has a whopping $170 million net worth, compared to Khloé’s measly $60 million. However, back when the two stars were dating, their incomes were matched. James made about $15 million a year when he was with the Houston Rockets, and Khloé made about the same with her reality show, endorsements, and investments.
Venus Williams and Hank Kuehne (Broken Up)
Venus Williams is famously one of the highest-paid tennis players in history, next to her sister Serena. So, when she dated golfer Hank Kuehne, people naturally speculated who made more money as a professional athlete. The couple was pretty private during the course of their relationship, but one thing was for sure. Serena was definitely the top breadwinner.
![Venus Williams and Hank Kuehne (Broken Up) Venus Williams and Hank Kuehne (Broken Up) | Getty Images Photo by Andy Lyons](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_7a044c8d56c11fb5558d60ed6a800cea/GettyImages-80913695-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-HankKuehneandVenusWilliams.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
With Serena’s successful tennis career, high-profile brand endorsements, and other business ventures, she’s easily worth over $95 million. She was no doubt making a similar amount of money when she was with Hank, who has a net worth of $5 million. Golf is a pretty lucrative sport, but it doesn’t compare when you’re dating a top tennis player like Venus.
Mickie James and Nick Aldis
If you know anything about pro wrestling, you’ve probably heard of Mickie James. The pro wrestler has a decades-long career that has seen her in the ring for WWE, Impact Wrestling, and many other big-name wrestling networks. Mickie can also add the title of “WAG” to her many achievements.
![Mickie James and Nick Aldis Mickie James and Nick Aldis | Instagram/@nickaldis](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_b20eeabe19a43341b69b53fa30fb6f75/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-IGMickieJamesandNickAldis.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She married fellow wrestler Nick Aldis in 2015. Nick is also a successful pro wrestler, and the two often perform as a team. However, Mickie has a larger net worth because of her skills, experience, and general ability to draw a crowd. She’s worth about $5 million dollars versus her husband’s $1 million net worth.
Frankie Bridge and Wayne Bridge
Frankie Sandford married soccer player Wayne Bridge in 2014, changing her last name and her life forever. Believe it or not, we have James Corden to thank for this WAG pairing. James was the one who put their numbers into each other’s phones, prompting them to start texting. Today, Frankie and Wayne Bridge are known as a pretty low-key and successful couple.
![Frankie Bridge and Wayne Bridge Frankie Bridge and Wayne Bridge | Instagram/@frankiebridge](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_8295fff898ca66dffbc0646cdf26cd97/40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-IGFrankieBridgeandWayneBridge.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Combined, Wayne and Frankie are worth around $9-11 million. However, Wayne retired from soccer in 2014. We have a feeling Frankie might out-earn her husband by a long shot. The singer is a former member of the girl group “The Saturdays” and has starred as a guest on various reality shows. To top it all off, she’s a bestselling author and has other projects in the works.
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker (Divorced)
Eva Longoria was married to retired basketball player Tony Parker for many years and was a high-earning WAG the entire time. The actress got her big break in “The Young and the Restless” and has been raking in the dough ever since. During their marriage, Eva starred on the hit show “Desperate Housewives” and got paid about $9 million per episode.
![Eva Longoria and Tony Parker (Divorced) Eva Longoria and Tony Parker (Divorced) | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/649866/rid_aa6f44630d539ee72d08960332397d4e/C67T6R-crop-40WAGsWhoMakeMoreMoneyThanTheirAthletePartner-EvaLongoriaTonyParker.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The couple was a close match when it came to earnings. Around that same time, Tony was making around $9-12 million a year on the San Antonio Spurs. Even though they’ve divorced and moved on, they’re still pretty close in net worth. Both are worth around $85 million today. Eva is still working and earning money from various endorsements, so we have a feeling she could easily surpass her ex.
