Last updated on: July 25, 2025
Braun Strowman is the ring‑name of Adam Joseph Scherr, born September 6, 1983, in Sherrills Ford, North Carolina. Scherr first conquered the strength world—winning the 2011 NAS Amateur Nationals and the 2012 Arnold Amateur Strongman title—before signing with WWE in 2013. He stormed onto the main roster two years later as the fearsome “Black Sheep” of The Wyatt Family, instantly recasting the modern monster archetype.
Strowman’s blend of spectacle and athleticism yielded record‑breaking Royal Rumble eliminations, the 2018 Money in the Bank briefcase, reigns as Universal, Intercontinental and Raw Tag Team Champion, and unforgettable stunts like flipping an ambulance—all punctuated by the rallying cry “Get These Hands.” Neck‑fusion surgery sidelined him in 2023, but a triumphant 2024 return was cut short when WWE released him in May 2025 amid budget and health concerns. Still, Scherr’s larger‑than‑life aura fuels TV cameos, live power‑shows and headliner status on the independent circuit.
As of December 2025, Braun Strowman is 42 years and 2 months old. His estimated net worth is $3.5 million, and he is 6 feet 8 inches (203 cm or 2.03 m) tall.

School / College / University
He attended Bandys High School in Catawba, North Carolina—where his towering frame and competitive edge quickly made him a standout. He wasn’t just the big guy in the room; he was an active athlete who channeled his energy into sports and developed a serious interest in hands-on skills like auto mechanics. One of his favorite classes? Auto shop—where he first got his hands greasy and discovered a love for machines that never really left him.
After graduation, he pursued community college and played football for more than four years, staying connected to his athletic roots while keeping his education going. Later in life, that early fascination with engines and horsepower led him to consider furthering his education at the Universal Technical Institute (UTI), a move that spoke to his passion beyond the ring.

Food Habits
Braun Strowman’s food habits are exactly what you’d expect from a man mountain with muscle to match—deliberate, disciplined, and built around serious performance. He doesn’t just eat big; he eats smart. Instead of counting every calorie, Strowman uses carb cycling—rotating between high-, moderate-, and low-carb days—to fuel his workouts and recovery while staying lean. During cutting phases, he still consumes around 5,300 calories a day, meticulously weighing his meals to preserve muscle and shed fat.
His daily meals are protein-packed and frequent—think grilled fish, chicken, lean beef, rice, eggs, and peanut butter, spread across the day. He usually starts his mornings with coffee and fasted cardio before diving into heavy gym sessions and meal timing that supports his goals. At peak intake, he reportedly puts away 35–40 pounds of food and water combined each day—gallons of water included. It’s a serious system, and it shows in his seriously powerful frame.
Hobbies
Braun Strowman’s hobbies are pure adrenaline and grit. When he’s not in the ring, he’s deep in the woods hunting, fishing, or tearing through trails in a Polaris off-roader. A true outdoorsman with a wild streak.
He’s also a full-blown gearhead—think muscle cars, turbochargers, and high-octane joyrides. His garage includes everything from a classic ’87 Buick Grand National to a twin-turbo Mustang.

Net worth 2025
$3.5 million
As of December 2025, it’s estimated that Braun Strowman has a net worth of about $3.5 million. From guaranteed WWE millions to peanut‑butter startups, Adam “Braun Strowman” Scherr has turned sheer size and a larger‑than‑life persona into a surprisingly diversified balance sheet. Below is a deep dive into each revenue stream, how the cash is structured, and realistic ball‑park figures gleaned from filings, press releases, and promoter chatter.
1. Big‑League Payroll: WWE Contracts & PPV Bonuses
| Period | Status | Guaranteed Base | Typical Add‑Ons* | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 – mid‑2019 | Entry → rising star | ≈ $300‑500 k/yr | modest merch split | Rookie escalators, Wyatt Family run. |
| July 2019 – June 2021 | New 4‑yr deal | $1.2 m/yr | PPV + video‑game royalties | Figure confirmed by Wrestling Observer report on the contract’s dollar value. Reddit |
| Sept 2022 – May 2025 | Re‑signed after first release | ≈ $1.2 m/yr | same structure | Salary echoed in multiple 2024 financial write‑ups. |
*Pay‑per‑view appearance bonuses (often 10‑15 % of gate/rights pool for top matches) and a flat percentage on licensed items typically push a headliner’s take well above base. Strowman’s 2023 run of premium‑live‑event matches is estimated to have added $250‑300 k per major stadium show.
2. Merch, Licensing & Digital Cuts
-
T‑shirts, replica titles, action figures, video‑game likeness: At peak “Get These Hands” popularity (2018 – 2020), insiders peg yearly royalties in the $400 k – $600 k band. WWE pays talent a sliding 25–30 % of net merch profit.
-
Video‑game residuals: The WWE 2K franchise cuts individual talents a low‑to‑mid five‑figure check per annual release.
3. Independent Wrestling & Convention Circuit

After the May 2025 roster cut, Strowman’s agent quoted $20 k – $25 k plus first‑class travel for a three‑hour indie appearance.
-
Comic‑con style signings fetch $5 k+ per table‑hour (photos/autographs sold separately).
-
Realistically, a weekend loop of one marquee match + meet‑and‑greets can gross $35‑45 k.
4. Television & Media Projects
-
Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman (USA Network, Fall 2025): WWE Studios and BrightNorth handle production; typical unscripted host fees for a cable series in this tier fall in the $15‑30 k per episode range, plus an executive‑producer back‑end slice.
-
Documentaries & cameos: The 2023 Peacock short Waukesha Strong and the 2018 film Holmes & Watson provide SAG‑AFTRA scale checks (low five figures) and residuals.
5. Endorsements & Brand Ambassador Roles
