Stephanie McMahon was paid $7.5 million after WWE’s sale, adding to her net worth of $150 million.
If multiply $3.86 times the number of shares they directly own:
Vince McMahon (28,835,207) = $111.3M
Nick Khan (234,424) = $905k
Paul Levesque (46,060) = $178k
Stephanie McMahon (1,940,190) = $7.5MThat is apart from bonuses some executives got for closing the transaction.

AEW President Tony Khan announced that CM Punk’s contract with AEW was terminated. He had been with the company since 2021. It has been noted that the reason CM Punk got fired is due to his demeanor at AEW All In London. Punk got into an altercation with Jack Perry.
Their issue stemmed because Perry made comments directed toward Punk during his Zero Hour match with Hook. When Perry got backstage, Punk was there because his match was next. This led to the two men exchanging words and a physical altercation took place with Punk apparently putting Perry into a headlock among other things.
That being said WWE is unlikely to sign CM Punk. He is a free agent and there have been speculation that he will join WWE. However, WWE doesn’t seem to have interest in signing him.
Marc Raimondi spoke with WWE President Nick Khan recently, along with UFC COO Lawrence Epstein. During that conversation, Raimondi asked about WWE’s interest in signing CM Punk. That is when Nick Khan set the record straight about how they feel about the Second City Savior coming in.
