AJ Lee: 2025 Net Worth, WWE Salary, Luxury Assets & More

AJ Lee recently made her WWE return after over a decade!

AJ Lee, born April Jeanette Mendez, remains one of WWE’s most beloved figures, often remembered as the heartbeat of the Divas division.

Growing up in Union City, New Jersey, she didn’t just step into wrestling; she fought her way up from the independent circuit, inspired by her brother and her idol, Lita. That scrappy, never-say-die spirit became the foundation of her career.

On-screen, AJ was anything but predictable. She reinvented herself constantly. She became a chaotic authority figure to a fiery underdog, to a three-time Divas Champion.

She made “different” not just acceptable, but cool, carving out space for fans who never felt they fit the mold. Her quirky charisma and razor-sharp promos gave her a unique edge, ensuring her place in WWE history.

If you’d asked in 2013, many might have predicted AJ would be running her own wrestling promotion by now. Instead, she’s thriving in Los Angeles, balancing behind-the-scenes work in television and writing.

Private yet approachable, she’s just as likely to chat with a fan about anime tattoos as she is to post about her beloved rescue dog, Larry, who’s become something of a Twitter celebrity.

AJ Lee embodies contradiction, both loud and reserved, tough and vulnerable, which is exactly why she still resonates years after leaving the ring. Lee made her WWE return on the September 5 episode of SmackDown in Chicago, over a decade later, but still got the same love from fans.

AJ Lee’s net worth

In 2025, AJ Lee’s net worth is estimated at around $4 million. While some assume retired wrestlers see their fortunes fade quickly, AJ has proven otherwise.

Her wealth comes from more than just her WWE career. She’s made a mark as an author with Crazy Is My Superpower, built income through speaking engagements, dabbled in media production, and continues to draw crowds at comic cons where fans proudly wear her iconic merch.

AJ Lee’s salary

According to Bodyslam+, AJ Lee has signed a multi-year full-time WWE contract. But there are no records on what her actual WWE salary is right now. But, it can be expected that she is at least going to be paid more than $250,000 annually.

AJ Lee’s House

AJ has called many places home over the years, from humble beginnings to her current life in Los Angeles. In a 2013 WWE exclusive, she revisited the Hilltop Motel, where she and her family lived on and off during her youth, a reminder of her challenging upbringing.

Years later, she found stability on the West Coast, with a home in Los Angeles that she described as her personal sanctuary away from the spotlight.
