Vince McMahon, in full Vincent Kennedy McMahon, Jr., (born August 24, 1945, Pinehurst, North Carolina, U.S.), American professional wrestling impresario who used showmanship and tireless promotion to make wrestling, formerly a niche entertainment, into a vastly lucrative industry.
McMahon was himself the son of a wrestling promoter, and in the 1970s he began working as a ringside announcer for his father’s business, Capitol Wrestling Corporation (later known as the World Wrestling Federation [WWF; 1979–2002] and World Wrestling Entertainment [WWE; 2002– ]).
In 1982 he bought the company. McMahon transformed the sport, displaying the brash ambition and innate promotional ability that would become his trademark. He created a unique blend of sports and entertainment, incorporating rock music, celebrities, and outrageously scripted matches, and in the process he molded wrestlers into child-friendly stars.
Very few of you probably know that Vince Mcmahon wanted to become a wrestler since childhood but his promoter father never allowed him to do so, his father thought his height and health was very low. Apart from this, he did not want his son to be harmed in any way. As you know Vince Mcmahon is a firm man of his stubbornness, so after the death of his father, when he had his own wrestling empire, then after crossing the age of 50, he wrestled with the big wrestlers. He continued to play the character of a villain in WWE for a long time which has been running since about 1997.

As of 2022, McMahon’s net worth is listed at $2.3 billion. The figures seem even more impressive when you consider the fact that Vince has invested $500 million to resurrect the XFL. The rise in Vince McMahon’s net worth is directly related to the two huge deals that WWE signed recently, one with FOX Sports and the other with Saudi Arabia sports authority.
In 2001, Mr.McMahon ventured into the world of American football when he created a professional football league of his own, dubbed the XFL in which he tried to infuse professional wrestling with professional football by bringing in WWE personalities such as Jesse Ventura, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler as part of the on-air commentary team alongside veteran sports personalities and pundits.
The league however lasted only one season before ultimately getting disbanded. On January 25, 2018 McMahon announced that he will revive XFL without its sports entertainment features and the new season will start at 2020.
