Once a WWE superstar, Tyrus has transitioned seamlessly into the world of television and media. His move from the wrestling ring to the Fox News studio wasn’t just a career pivot—it was a masterstroke that opened the door to multiple income avenues, all contributing to an estimated net worth of $2 million as of 2025.
From Wrestling Arenas to Television Screens
Tyrus’ journey began in the high-octane world of professional wrestling. Starting out under the name “G-Rilla” and later as “Brodus Clay” in WWE, he spent nearly a decade captivating fans. After leaving WWE in 2014, he continued his wrestling career with TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling), performing under the name “Tyrus.” While he eventually stepped away from full-time wrestling, the financial foundation it provided was solid.
His pivot to political commentary proved just as impactful. In 2016, Tyrus joined Fox News as a contributor on The Greg Gutfeld Show. His wit, imposing presence, and distinctive delivery quickly made him a regular. Since then, he has appeared on Fox & Friends, Outnumbered, The Five, and the prime-time hit Gutfeld!, where he is a permanent panelist. Though Fox hasn’t disclosed his exact salary, industry insiders confirm his compensation is far from modest.
Income Beyond the Newsroom
Tyrus hasn’t stopped at media appearances. He is also a published author, having released two books—Just Tyrus in 2022 and Nuff Said in 2023. Both titles were well-received, and their success added another layer of income, alongside speaking engagements where his candid, no-nonsense delivery continues to draw audiences across the country.
Acting has also found a place in his expansive résumé. His credits include appearances in films like No One Lives (2012), Beast of the Water (2017), and Stand On It (2020), as well as animated features such as Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery (2014). These roles, while secondary to his media work, have enhanced both his earnings and visibility.
The Man Behind the Wealth
Tyrus’ fortune is deeply tied to the life he shares with his wife, fitness entrepreneur Ingrid Rinck. The couple officially tied the knot in January 2024 and now raise a blended family of six children together. Their daughter, Georgia, born in 2014, joins Ingrid’s two sons from a previous relationship and Tyrus’ three children from earlier in his life.
The family resides on a farm in northern New Jersey, where they lead a grounded, family-centric lifestyle far from the spotlight. Social media glimpses of their life reveal moments of peace, nature, and parental pride—offering a stark contrast to the intensity of Tyrus’ public image.
A Taste for Luxury
Tyrus doesn’t hide his appreciation for the finer things in life. His car collection includes a luxurious Lincoln Continental, estimated at $72,000, and a Ford F-150 priced around $85,000. These purchases are symbolic of a life built on layered success—and a reminder that his earnings are far from ordinary.
The Gutfeld Connection
Tyrus’ meteoric rise on Fox News began with a simple social media interaction. In late 2016, Greg Gutfeld noticed Tyrus’ humorous commentary on Twitter and invited him onto his show. That one-time appearance turned into a recurring role, then into a permanent position, with Gutfeld famously calling him his “massive sidekick.” Their chemistry continues to anchor the show’s popularity.
A Legacy Still in Motion
Today, Tyrus stands as a unique figure who has managed to fuse entertainment, politics, literature, and family into a cohesive life path. His strategic career choices, combined with a low-profile approach to wealth-building, have made him a rare kind of celebrity—one who thrives on influence rather than flash.
With new projects likely on the horizon and a growing legacy as both a public figure and a family man, Tyrus is proving that success doesn’t always come from the spotlight. Sometimes, it’s built quietly—in the margins, behind the camera, and in the bonds of a family held together by determination and grit.
