Linda McMahon

If you watch WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), you’ve probably heard of Vince McMahon, the company’s chairman and CEO. This article will focus on his wife, Linda Marie McMahon, who was previously the CEO of WWE.

Linda McMahon, who has a staggering net worth, has faced financial disaster in recent days.

Without a doubt, the 72-year-old businesswoman comes from a very wealthy family with a $1.7 billion fortune. She previously worked in intellectual property law. She was also the executive in professional wrestling after her husband died.

Aside from that, the billionaire’s wife became involved in politics. On December 7, 2016, U.S. President Donald Trump appointed her as the ’25th Administrator of the Small Business Administration.’ According to reputable sources such as celebrity Net Worth, she has even run two unsuccessful campaigns for Connecticut senator.

Most people were aware of McMahons’ financial difficulties during their early marriage. They did, in fact, receive food stamps for a short time until Vince started working 90 hours per week at a quarry. After establishing his own wrestling company, the Hall of Famer quickly became the owner of the Cape Cod Coliseum in Massachusetts, and in 1980, he founded Titan Sports, Inc.

Linda McMahon’s Marriage to Vince McMahon, Their Children, and Grandchildren

On August 26, 1966, in New Bern, North Carolina, Linda McMahon married former wrestler Vince McMahon. When she was 13, and Mr. McMahon was 16, they met in church for the first time. Vince proposed to her after she completed her high school graduation. Linda was 17 at the time of their marriage.

It’s difficult to believe, but the couple experienced a financial crisis and bankruptcy several years after their marriage. To tell you the truth, Vince even worked 90 hours per week at a quarry. After years of hardship, Mr. McMahon decided to start his own wrestling company in 1979, as it is said, “the strongest thing about time is that it changes.” Now we can all see what happens when he joins a wrestling company.

In terms of children, Mr. and Mrs. McMahon have a son and a daughter. On January 15, 1970, in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the two gave birth to a son named Shane Brandon McMahon. Shane appears as a wrestler on occasion in WWE. He is also the executive vice-chairman of Ideanomics and a WWE minority producer. In 1996, the vice-chairman of Ideonomics married Marissa Mazzola-McMahon. Dechan James McMahon, Rogan McMahon, and Kenyon Jesse McMahon were born to the couple later in life.

Shane McMahon was born on September 24, 1976, in Hartford, Connecticut, U.S., more than six years after the McMahons were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Stephanie McMahon. She is a well-known professional wrestler. McMahon’s daughter is married to the world wrestling’s ‘King of Kings,’ Paul Michael Levesque (better know by the ring name Triple H). Aurora Rose Levesque, 14, Murphy Claire Levesque, 12, and Vaughn Evelyn Levesque, 10, are the couple’s three adorable daughters.
