Randy Orton net worth: How much has ‘The Viper’ earned in his wrestling career?

Randy Orton has spent 20 years at the top of his game in WWE – so it is no surprise that he has accumulated a high net worth.

‘The Viper’ is arguably enjoying one of his finest runs in the company at the moment. He is one half of the Raw Tag Team Champions, teaming up with Riddle. RK-Bro is one of the most popular teams in WWE.

Orton’s achievements in WWE are up there with the very best. He is a Grand Slam Champion, Triple Crown Champion and a 20-time titleholder.

The 42-year-old has engaged in many memorable rivalries, led WWE at various times as its top heel and face, and entertained the WWE Universe with his top tier in-ring skills and infamous RKO’s out of nowhere.

Randy Orton’s achievements and successes in WWE

Ever since his early days in WWE, Randy Orton was earmarked as a future star of the company. It is fair to say that he has lived up to all expectations.

He quickly progressed through WWE’s then-developmental territory, OVW. He graduated in 2002 – the same year that John Cena and Batista also progressed to the main roster.

At 24 years old, Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history in 2004. He was already part of the villainous stable Evolution, but Orton transitioned into a face when his stablemates turned on him.

In 2005, ‘The Viper’ then competed in a legendary WrestleMania match against The Undertaker but ultimately failed to end The Streak.

In subsequent years, he would enjoy further world title reigns, engage in memorable feuds with the likes of John Cena and Shawn Michaels, and form the successful ‘Rated-RKO’ team with Edge.

Orton became the storyline ‘face of WWE’ when he was part of the Authority storyline in 2013. With the help of Triple H, ‘The Viper’ cashed in his Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam and pinned Daniel Bryan to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

After a stint with The Wyatt Family, Orton returned to his old ‘Legend Killer’ gimmick in 2020, attacking various WWE legends. He then engaged in a feud with Bray Wyatt, defeating his rival at WrestleMania 37, before joining forces with Riddle later in the year.

What is the net worth of Randy Orton?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Randy Orton currently has a net worth of $7 million.

Sportskeeda claims that ‘The Viper’ earns a $1.1 million base annual salary from WWE, which goes up to $2.7 million when merchandise, royalties and premium live event sales are taken into account.

Randy Orton has also featured in several box office movies alongside his wrestling career. However, unlike John Cena and The Rock, the 42-year-old never fully branched out into Hollywood.

In 2013, Orton starred in the film ’12 Rounds 2: Reloaded’, playing the character of Nick Malloy. According to The-Numbers.com, the film grossed over $1.9 million in domestic video sales.

He also starred in ‘The Condemned 2’ as Will Tanner. As per the same source as above, this film grossed over $23.7 million in domestic video sales, including over $3.8 million on its opening weekend of release.
