WWE Money in the Bank briefcase is one of the most powerful tools that a WWE Superstar can earn. The briefcase gives them the right to challenge for any Championship for their choice. It is won through a ladder match, where 5-10 participants try to retrieve a briefcase hanging 20 feet above the ring.

The advantage that all the winners get is the fact that they can cash in the contract at any point that they wish. At times some Superstars hold on to their contracts for nearly a year before cashing in. Here is our list of 5 longest WWE Money in the Bank briefcase holders:
