THE rise of WWE superstar Michael ‘The Miz’ Mizanin is a real rags-to-riches story.

From a college dropout to one of the most recognizable and top-paid stars of wrestling, it’s been some journey for the Ohio native.

A business student at Miami University, The Miz gambled everything on leaving his studies to pursue a TV career in 2001.

More than two decades later, he was front-and-center at Wrestlemania 38 as Logan Paul’s tag team partner.

Miz and Paul took on Rey and Dominik Mysterio as the former YouTuber made his WWE bow in front of a mammoth Arlington crowd.

But away from the ring, family man Mizanin has certainly carved out a lifestyle fit for wrestling loyalty.

He’s one half of a WWE power couple, having wed Diva Maryse in 2014, with the pair since having two children named Madison and Monroe.

A model, actress, and reality TV star, Maryse performs in RAW with her husband and the pair first met at Diva Search way back in 2006.

The Miz has a base salary of around $1.2million a year from his work in the WWE, which has allowed the family to live things large in California.

They own a stunning $12.5m mansion in exclusive Westlake Village, just 45 miles from the hustle and bustle of downtown LA.

Bought for $6.4m in 2019, the incredible build features huge sweeping staircases, six bedrooms and a gold-toned home theater.

Relaxation is key away from the ring and The Miz can certainly do that in the plush estate, with 1.27 acres of land to enjoy.
