Vince McMahon is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes of the WWE, but that doesn't mean he's pulling down the most money in the company.

Actually he's fourth on the list after three WWE executives received major stock awards to retain the trio as the company fortifies its WWE Network, according to the Stamford Advocate.

Kevin Dunn ($4.8 million), George Barrios ($4.5 million) and Michelle Wilson ($4.5 million) can say they make more than McMahon. So what does the WWE CEO pulled down? A cool $3.3 million, which is a 37 percent bump from 2014.

So don't feel too bad for McMahon.
