What is Ric Flair’s net worth in 2023?
A wrestling icon, Ric Flair’s net worth mirrors the legacy he has built with his charismatic personality. The prodigy of the New Generation Era is a record 16-time world champion and holds various other accolades as well.
The real-life Richard Morgan Fliehr started his wrestling career in his teens. Trained by NWA legend Verne Gagne, he debuted the ring name Ric Flair during a fight in Rice Lake, Wisconsin in December 1972.
Flair spent years at Jim Crockett Promotions and New Japan Pro Wrestling before making his debut in the then-World Wrestling Federation. He debuted in August 1991 and became a crowd-favorite in no time. A year later, the Nature Boy won the signature Royal Rumble Match to claim his first WWE Championship.
In his prime, Ric Flair earned a whopping sum of $7 million from his performances. It is no wonder that he has the keys to luxurious cars such as the Chevrolet Camaro, a 1999 Bentley Arnage, and much more.
The 73-year-old lives in a mansion located in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is estimated to be $1 million in real estate. Spanning 5000 square feet, the mansion is a double-storeyed building that has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a swimming pool.
According to WeatlthyGorilla, Ric Flair’s net worth stands at $5 million in 2023. It apparently didn’t see much change compared to last year. In his penultimate match, the Hall of Famer substantially added to his worth as it was the second-biggest ever independent show in the U.S. in the modern era.
The event did over 6800 fans for a $448,502 gate as per reports by Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Titled "Ric Flair’s Last Match," the audience saw the legend team up with his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo in a winning cause against Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett.
Flair has announced his retirement many times in the past yet has always had a change of heart. So, in September last year, he declared that he would never leave the ring during the 50th anniversary of his wrestling debut.
