WWE and CEO Vince McMahon keep racking up W’s while piledriving Wall Street with a vengeance.
Of course, as you WealthLABBERs know, [WWE]’s been crushing it on the stock exchange, quadrupling in value over the past year. The stock’s currently trading at $80.92, good for a $6.27B market value.
Just for some context: That’s a 3.7X vs. their $1.7B market cap average over the past five years—and a whopping 8.6X above their five-year low of $728.39M.
So why’s the stock’s so high, #WealthGANG? Let’s take a look.
Record Q2 growth
In Q2, WWE reported revenue of $281.6M—a 31% year-over-year jump and 18% above analyst estimates ($239.5M). WWE’s paid subscribers rose 10% to 1.8M, which were in line with earlier projections.
On the digital side, WWE’s digital video views rose 58% in Q2. The total consumption, in terms of digital content, rose 71% to 509M hours, showing a healthy appetite for bodyslams and suplexes.
In other words. The wrestling franchise will increase TV revenues from $270M to over $600M. Just let that simmer for a bit…
Female wrestling viewers?!
WWE’s traditionally focused on male wrestlers, skewing to their male-dominated audience. But that looks like it could change.
Led by former UFC superstar and current WWE Women’s champ Ronda Rousey, the company is staging its first-ever PPV this year in an ambitious attempt to broaden their female audience base.
This event will include over 50 female wrestlers from the “Raw” and “SmackDown” franchises.
It’s that feeling where you can’t stop smiling. Incredibly honored and ready to represent the hearts of all little girls worldwide who’ve always wanted to follow their dreams. #Evolution
If you ask Wall Street analysts? Then the answer is yes. The suits down at the Street say that these deals will trigger long-term revenue, earnings, and free cash flow growth for WWE.
Specifically, as things stand now, the company will raise its OIBDA (operating income before depreciation and amortization) from $150M to between $160M and $170M for 2018.
For Q3, WWE has an estimated subscriber count of 1.67M with adjusted OIBDA between $30-34M. Not too shabby for a family business. Let’s give a three-count to good ol’ Vinnie Mac, shall we?
I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.
I’m interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxesin perpetuity—AND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.
(Real estate—our TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects included—has a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)
There’s the 1031 exchange, of course, which I’ve shared with you guys before.
Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREE—as long as said property is worth the same or more.
But there’s ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.
PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. 👀 PPS: If you want to learn how to implement generational wealth strategies like this one, you can join our NYCE wealth academy (TRIBE U) here.
If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of “office” and “workspace” has been shaken to its CORE.
Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run from…wherever. 📲
This is my office for the day…
I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.
It’s 4:28 pm CET, which means it’s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.
(And the team will continue to crush it while I’m asleep. That’s the 🗝)
Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.
This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. 🔥
Let me repeat that…3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.
Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.
There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelona…Nat in New York…Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.
Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle you’re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.
MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until you’ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! 🗝🗝🗝🗝
(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)
One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnb—you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Here’s a guide if you need it.)
Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.
I’m gonna put together a step-by-step video breakdown this weekend inside the new TRIBE U on the FIVE key things you need to do this for YOURSELF. 💵 💎

In the meantime, drop a comment if you’re ready to build some wealth and any questions if you want more…
Let’s get to work. 🙌
PS: If you can’t be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, we’re hosting a TRIBE U workshopthat will help you get this process started on the spot. It’s $479 $49. 🔥
