THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE: The Rock said that he walked into his BOSS's office and respectfully asked his boss who the top earner was and how much the THEN top earner, Stone Cold was making. His boss told him Stone Cold was making $1M. When he heard it, he decided to ask his boss for $2M. Vince McMahon, his boss told him that it's not a problem, but he should first take some time to go learn about how the business worked. Told him to make sure to learn the whole economics behind it and then report back to him after some time for them to finalize. After learning about the business, THE ROCK comes back to his boss and says: “Alright, i now have a better understanding of the business and the costs of running it. For that, give me the same $1M you give stone cold. I’ll probably make $1.5M total from bonuses anyway.” Meaning: ▪️$1M = guaranteed (no matter what happens) ▪️Extra $500k = small bonuses he expects His Boss then smiled and told him, he'll actually make $15M that year... Vince McMahon knew two things: 1. The business was about to explode 2. The Rock was becoming one of the main reasons money was coming in So when he says: “You’re going to make $15M” He’s not increasing the salary. He’s just pointing at everything outside the salary. Ticket sales. Pay Per View buys. Merchandise. Global deals. Basically: “The $1M is just for showing up. The real money is from what your presence generates.” That $15M is what happens when: ▪️ Arenas sell out because of you ▪️ Millions pay to watch because of you ▪️ Products move because of you Salary pays you for being there. The real money comes from what you bring in. And once you’re tied to the money coming in, not just the work going out… Your income multiplies.
