Cody Rhodes is a well-known personality in the pro wrestling world. The WWE superstar is a veteran in the ring with a career spanning almost two decades. The former Intercontinental Champion is one of two sons of WWE legend Dusty Rhodes who chose professional wrestling as his career, the other being Cody’s elder brother Dustin, f.k.a. Goldust.

“The Dashing” had some difficulties in his first run in WWE, as he was stuck in the mid-card. After being repackaged as Stardust, a play on his brother’s gimmick, the former WWE tag team champion decided to part ways with the company. As his followers might have seen, Rhodes had some of his own ideas about gimmicks that were related to his legacy.

Soon after his departure, he started referring to himself as The American Nightmare, a direct contrast to his father’s nickname The American Dream. In 2019, Cody Rhodes became one of the founding members and Executive Vice President of All Elite Wrestling. This new promotion aimed to have a revolution outside of WWE and create a real alternative for the fans and wrestlers.

However, three years later, Cody did the unexpected and went back to WWE. Proving that he is a true main event star, the Grandson of a Plumber got his due in the biggest wrestling promotion. In only a short period, the fans accepted him as the top babyface in the company.

Cody Rhodes’ Net Worth

Cody Rhodes’ net worth, as of 2024, is estimated to be around $8 million dollars. Cody earned around $3 million from his previous AEW contract. Hence, after signing with WWE, a similar deal was expected with added income from endorsements and merchandise sales.
