LA Knight's Net Worth Soars to $10M

As of February 2026, WWE sensation LA Knight, whose real name is Shaun Ricker, and his partner Michelle Yavulla are anticipated to hold a combined net worth ranging from $4 million to $10 million. Knight's personal fortune is estimated between $3 million and $5 million, while Yavulla's contributes an additional $1 million to $5 million to their household wealth.

Knight's impressive financial growth is attributed to his five-year contract extension signed in late 2024, which provides an estimated annual base salary of $500,000, supplemented by bonuses from premium live events and appearances. Merchandise sales, particularly for his 'YEAH!' branded items, represent a significant income stream, earning him substantial royalty payments.

Further diversifying his revenue, Knight has secured endorsement deals with prominent brands such as Slim Jim, Mountain Dew, and Mattel. His growing mainstream appeal is evident in his featured roles in video games like WWE 2K26 and appearances on television shows including 'The Hero' and 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine.'

Knight's elevated status as a main attraction at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, following his participation in the Royal Rumble at the start of 2026, enhances his earning potential and public profile. The couple's financial portfolio is expected to continue its upward trajectory due to their strategic management of merchandise, endorsements, and event positioning.
