Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair Net Worth: Which WWE Superstar Is Richer?
When it comes to professional wrestling rivalries, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair top that list. Both are WWE women’s champions and have revolutionized the women’s wrestling industry forever.
However, Lynch and Charlotte have no love for each other, which has become more prominent in the last month. The two have been trash-talking each other constantly, so much so, that even Ric Flair got involved.
While this Sunday will determine who’s the better woman? Who amongst the two champions is richer? Who earns more? Well, we are here to settle this battle just ahead of their Survivor Series clash.
Becky Lynch’s net worth
The Man’s professional wrestling journey began in her home country of Ireland. She started training alongside her colleague, Finn Balor. Her wrestling career was going well until she sustained a head injury, due to which she took a hiatus of six years from wrestling.
Then in 2013, after recovering from her injury, WWE signed her, and she started wrestling at NXT. She aligned herself with Charlotte and then Sasha Banks, but none of those teams lasted long.
Lynch was also one of the four women who wrestled in the fatal four-way match for the NXT Women’s title, which sparked the ‘Give Divas a Chance’ movement.
What Lynch did in the main roster brought out the best in her, and she holds many accolades because of that. But it wasn’t until 2018 that she became ‘The Man’ and showed everyone she was worthy of being a star.
Being such an enormous star meant that WWE also had to compensate Becky well for all her money.
In April 2020, Forbes declared she was the sixth highest-paid WWE wrestler and one of the highest-paid women with $3.1 million. Her net worth sits at $6 million.
Lynch also makes additional money from her endorsements and movies she acts in.

Charlotte Flair’s net worth
Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr is a second-generation professional wrestler. At first, she had no interest in wrestling, but Reid Flair carried his dreams on her shoulders because of her brother’s death.
Charlotte Flair made her wrestling debut in 2013, for WWE’s NXT, just like Becky Lynch. In 2014, Pro Wrestling Illustrated even awarded her as Rookie of the Year.
Charlotte debuted on the main roster in 2015 and defeated Nikki Bella for the Divas’s Title. The Queen became the first women’s champion in the modern era of WWE.

Flair was the first woman almost to do it all in WWE. But she holds the most prestigious honor in WWE, the main event of WrestleMania 35 alongside Becky and Ronda Rousey.
Charlotte is a 12 time WWE women’s champion and the most dominant woman on the roster. She is also one of the biggest wrestling stars in the world.
The Queen earns a salary of $550,000, and her net worth is around $2 million.
Besides her basic salary, she also makes for her PPV appearances and from the royalties of the merchandise.

Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair: Who is Richer?
The facts and the figures point towards Becky Lynch as the highest-paid woman in the WWE roster currently. It makes sense why WWE would pay Becky more than Charlotte.
But it is surprising because Flair is the most decorated woman in WWE history.
It is unclear who is richer because, besides their salaries, WWE superstars earn from many side endorsements, third-party apps, and commercials.
However, if one were to take these figures as the truth, it would appear Becky Lynch is richer than Charlotte Flair.
