• Vince McMahon’s Unrecorded $5 Million Payment Could Be Linked To The Trump Foundation
As we reported a few day back, ongoing investigation in WWE revealed another $5 million in payments made by Vince McMahon in 2007 and 2009.
However, this payment was unrelated to the misconduct allegations.
WWE noted the following in their SEC filing:
“Since that time, the Company has determined that two additional payments totaling $5.0 million, unrelated to the allegations that led to the Special Committee investigation, that Mr. McMahon made in 2007 and 2009 should have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Together, these unrecorded expenses total $19.6 million (the “Unrecorded Expenses”).”
According to Wrestlenomics, this $5 million payment could be linked to the Trump Foundation:
“WWE was by far the biggest contributor to the Trump Foundation in 2007 and 2009, giving the organization $4 million and $1 million in those years, respectively, and in round numbers — which adds up to match the $5.0 million mentioned in the new WWE filing.
Those were also years when the future U.S. President made rare appearances on WWE television programs.”
In 2007, McMahon & Trump were involved in a “Battle Of Billionaires” feud, which culminated at WrestleMania 23.
