How did CM Punk make their money and wealth?
As mentioned earlier, CM Punk has held quite a few jobs as a result of his WWE fame, and all have greatly contributed to his wealth. Most important of these has been his title winning stints as a pro wrestler, where he quickly gained a name for his personality and style. Starting off in Ohio in 2005, Punk would gain great fame in the next decade, and a fan favorite as a result of his nonconforming style and personality in and out of the ring. This would help him lend his fame to projects the WWE had, including the 2015 film The Flintstones and WWE: Stone Age Smackdown! Where he would play the character CM Punkrock. He would also appear in the earlier film Queens of the Ring, a French film which featured a single mother regaining the attention of her son by becoming a pro wrestler.
Aside from his film and ring appearances, Punk has also made his way into the main stream spotlight in other ways. Of the most well known was his 2006 appearance in Ghost Hunters Live, where he joined the team from the Sci-Fi network for a 6 hour sigil in the Stanley Hotel in Colorado. While he had claimed to have no real beliefs in the paranormal or afterlife (himself identifying as an atheist) he did keep to claims of hearing children giggle and footsteps despite both not being possible at the time. A surprise to some, it turns out CM Punk is, in his own words, a giant nerd. Having appeared on AMC’s the Talking Dead program (a commentary on The Walking Dead), as well as aided in writing multiple comic books such as Avengers vs. X-Men, Thor Annual and The Most Cursed, as well as the Drax series. As an aside, he would also write a foreword for a cookbook written by an ex, as a sign of good faith and humor.

Lastly in terms of earnings in recent years, CM Punk has a trifecta that continue to bankroll him: UFC, Video Games and Reality TV. As one would expect for many WWE Superstars, CM Punk has shown up in his fair share of WWE videogames from 2008 to 2015. These would often show off some of his famous rivalries across his career, especially in career or showcase mode with plenty of his signature moves available to use in play. He also would show up in EA Sports UFC 2 video game, despite only being in one official UFC Match with Mickey Gail, who would defeat Punk quite quickly in the first round of his match. Since his match in 2014, he has yet to have a second match, while on the reality show The Challenge: Champs vs Pros on MTV would give him the title of MMA fighter, despite the fact that pro wrestler may yet be the better title for Punk.
