One of the biggest sources of her benefits is probably her husband’s success, as Steve Austin has a net worth estimated at over $30 million, largely earned through success in professional wrestling.

Life so far

Steve Austin met Kristin sometime in the late 2000s, and she had known him since his wrestling career preceded him. At the time, he was already a few years away from his last divorce, but he was known to have had several notable relationships, including three marriages that ended in divorce. He was also subject to several domestic violence allegations, which he admitted he later regretted. He was serving community service and probation in one case against his ex-wife, former professional wrestler Debra.

Steve is also said to have alcohol problems, although it was more of an assumption due to his alcohol drinking personality in the ring, and him refused several times he had drinking problems. The two got married in 2009 after a few years together, and her husband has credited her multiple times as the one who helped turn his life around. She has helped manage a Nevada estate, a farm that her husband owns, as well as another Texas farm many years before it was sold.

Husband – Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stone Cold grew up in Austin, Texas; he is of Irish, German, Swedish and English descent.

He was raised primarily by his mother after his parents divorced, and they lived in Edna, Texas, near Houston. His mother remarried and he grew up alongside four siblings. He attended Edna High School and played American Football well enough during his time there that he was offered a full athletic scholarship to enroll at the University of North Texas.

While in college, he became increasingly interested in a career in professional wrestling. He began training at the Dallas Sportatorium, a well-known area for wrestling events in Dallas, and trained under Chris Adams, who is known to wrestle under the name Gentleman Chris Adams.

He became a very technical wrestler, learning different moves and a bit about the business. He appeared in a few local shows and had a few small payouts. He was then called Steve Austin when he joined the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA), which competed primarily with that promotion and the United States Wrestling Association (USWA).

WCW and ECW

In 1991, Steve joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW), one of the biggest wrestling promotions of the time, rivaling WWF. He teamed up with wrestler Jeannie Adams, also known as Lady Blossom, a woman who would later become one of his former wives.

He earned his first championship in WCW and became known as the stunning Steve Austin. He teamed up with Brian Pillman and the two formed the tag team The Hollywood Blonds, and they would go on to win a championship, but he later feuded with Pillman after getting injured again. One of his last matches with WCW was in a heavyweight championship tournament, where he was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

After the end of his run with the promotion, he was hired by Paul Heyman to work for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and started as an interviewer as he was still recovering from an injury. During his time there, he started working on his most popular persona, Stone Cold.

He also began to focus on developing his skills on the microphone, with Heyman assisting him in his promotional work. During his short time there, he was known as Superstar Steve Austin.

Success in wrestling – Stone Cold Steve Austin

In 1995, Steve signed with WWF and debuted as The Ringmaster, which was not a very successful gimmick. The following year, he returned as Stone Cold and immediately became popular with the promotion’s fans. Many people enjoyed his anti-hero character who defied the establishment, drank beer and was vulgar. He developed a storyline feud with business owner Vince McMahon, which were some of the promotion’s most memorable years.

Essentially, he became the poster boy of what was known as the Attitude Eraand the company’s most successful period.

Many sports journalists, wrestling legends and even McMahon himself stated that Austin’s career with WWF is the most successful. He’s become an even bigger name than Hulk Hogan, and he’s often regarded as the most successful deed of all time. Others consider him the most influential and profitable wrestling character of all time. He held 19 championships during his run and headlined many pay-per-views, including three WrestleMania events. In 2003, despite still having years to struggle, he chose to retire after knee injuries and a nagging neck injury. Since his retirement he is still a sporadic guest. He was later inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hall of Fame.

Private life

Before Kristin met Austin, he was known to have had many high-profile romances. His first marriage was to high school sweetheart Kathryn Burrhus, a marriage that lasted two years before he chose to cancel it after his romance with Lady Blossom with whom he worked. The two wrestlers married in 1992 and have two children together. They remained married for seven years before divorcing. The following year, he dated wrestling personality Debra, whom he had been married to for less than a year; the relationship was known for its problems, particularly domestic violence. He also dated glamor model Tess Broussard, before later meeting Kristin. The two married in 2009, and live in Marina Del Rey, California, though they often travel together due to his affairs and have appeared together at many public events.
