Who is Vince McMahon’s wife Linda?

LINDA McMahon was the Co-Ceo of WWE together with husband Vince.

But who is she?

Who is Linda McMahon?

Linda McMahon, 73, was born on October 4, 1948, in New Bern, North Carolina.

She is the wife of WWE CEO and chairman, Vince McMahon.

The couple tied the knot in 1966 and went on to co-found WWE.

Her husband Vince retired as CEO in July 2022, amid sexual misconduct claims.

In July 2023 he had a spinal surgery, which was a “major, life altering operation”.

Mrs McMahon served as CEO of the company from 1997 until 2009.

She stepped down in order to pursue a career in public office.

McMahon ran twice for a US Senate seat in Connecticut in 2010 and 2012 but was unsuccessful.

What is Linda McMahon’s net worth?

As of July 2023, Mrs McMahon’s net worth is estimated to be £2,34 billion ($3 billion), according to Celebrity Net Worth.

She and her family have racked up quite the fortune while working for WWE.

On June 17, 2022, her daughter, Stephanie McMahon, was appointed by the company to serve as interim CEO and chairwoman during Mr McMahon’s investigation for alleged misconduct.

On Friday, July 22, Linda’s husband announced he was retiring from the WWE.

“At 77, time for me to retire,” he said.

Thank you, WWE Universe.  Then. Now. Forever. Together,” the tweet continued.

In a press release he wrote, “As I approach 77 years old, I feel it’s time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE.”

He thanked his family and friends for their support.

When did Linda McMahon work for the White House?

Mrs McMahon was picked by Donald Trump to serve as the administrator of the Small Business Administration in late 2016.

At the time, Trump said: “Linda has a tremendous background and is widely recognised as one of the country’s top female executives advising businesses around the globe.

He continued: “Linda is going to be a phenomenal leader and champion for small businesses and unleash America’s entrepreneurial spirit all across the country.”

Her cabinet-level position lasted from February 2017 until April 2019.

The department’s role is to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns.

The McMahons had crossed paths with Trump before Mrs McMahon’s appointment, when the tycoon-turned-President appeared in a WWE bout with Mr McMahon in Wrestlemania 23, in a fight dubbed the ‘Battle of the Billionaires.’

Intercontinental Champion Umaga represented McMahon whilst Bobby Lashley fought for Trump.

The former president famously tackled McMahon to the floor before shaving his head in the ring.
