According to Celebrity Net Worth, Rey Mysterio has a net worth in 2023 of around $10 Million.
This number was accrued due to Mysterio’s longevity in the world of pro wrestling, as he began his career in Mexico back in 1989 at the age of 14 before making his way to Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in 1995 and then World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1996.
