CM Punk’s earnings at AEW are still unknown, but those of his time as a MMA fighter have been shared. As per reports, he received $500K for his first appearance in the UFC. Given that his debut resulted in around 125K-225K PPV buys, his MMA takeaway amounted to over a million dollars. The wrestler paid $503.5K for his second outing, along with an additional $500K as an appearance fee and another $ 3,500 as a fight week incentive.
Talking about real estate, CM Punk resides in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood and owns a $4 million home there. As per reports, he purchased the property in December 2021 and paid around $700,000 more than the asking price to get the deed in his name. Besides his LA residence, the now-rumored-to-return WWE wrestler also owns a home in the bustling West Town Chicago, which he purchased in 2010 for a whopping $2.2 million. Reportedly, Phillip Brooks’ suburban home is an elegant and beautiful structure, complete with a theater room and a wine cellar.
