Unlike his peers in the business world, Vince McMahon spent years boasting about how rich, famous, smart, and accomplished he is.

A perfect example of McMahon's attitude is the fact that the UFC's head honcho revealed in 2013 that Vince challenged him to a fight. In case people thought McMahon meant a bout in a WWE ring with a predetermined winner, White says Vince was open to fighting him for real in a UFC octagon.

"Let me tell you something, and I'll tell you this, I've never ever said this before ever in an interview anywhere, okay? If Vince hears this he's going to go nuts, okay? Vince it too old. He's too old, which he won't think he is and he'll go crazy.

"He wanted to do that one time. Vince wanted to fight me - swear to God. He called me up, said, ‘Let's do it. We can do it in the UFC, or let's do it at WrestleMania.'" White continued, "and I said, ‘You are crazy.' Vince is -- a lot of people talk about Vince. I've always said it and I'll say it again, I respect Vince very much. But Vince is too old to be fighting anybody."

Given the fact that McMahon is the kind of guy to challenge a fellow business leader to a fight when he was in his sixties, it likely won't surprise anyone that Vince buys crazy stuff with his fortune.

Some of the wild stuff McMahon reportedly has bought for himself include supposedly real bear skin rugs, a massive portrait of himself, and the services of personal chefs. McMahon also reportedly owns a $40 million mansion, a yacht, a Florida vacation home, and private gyms.

In short, based on what is known about the things McMahon owns, it seems very clear that if he wants something, he gets it. With that in mind and his over-the-top personality, it certainly seems like McMahon should have been the one to buy himself the most interesting thing he owns. However, it turns out that his son-in-law, the wrestler Triple H did that.

In 2011, Triple H starred in a forgettable movie that WWE Studios released titled The Chaperone. When Triple H was working on that movie, they shot a scene in a museum. Evidently impressed by the fossils on display, Triple H decided that he needed to buy a dinosaur fossil for McMahon.

Ultimately, Triple H bought McMahon a Tyrannosaurus skull fossil. Obviously impressed with the incredible gift, McMahon had the fossil put up on the wall of his office in WWE's Stamford building.

Of course, McMahon is a unique guy, so he didn't stop at exhibiting the fossil on his wall. Instead, McMahon tweeted out a photo of the fossil and wrote about how the skull symbolizes his appetite. On top of that, according to an article about the fossil that was published on WWE.com the fossil has been given the name Stan T. Rex.

McMahon also could have lost it all when the WWE held the first WrestleMania since so much of his money was wrapped up in that event which could have flopped. Decades after both of those perilous moments, it now is very clear that unless something truly mind-blowing happens, McMahon will never have to worry about money again.

Thanks to McMahon's ability to make the WWE the business leader in the professional wrestling business and his choice to take the company public, he is incredibly rich. In fact, Forbes reports that McMahon has a $2.9 billion fortune as of this writing.

As amazing as it is that McMahon has a fortune that can be measured in billions, there is a strong possibility he will become richer soon.

In recent months, McMahon has revealed that there are efforts to look at potential offers to buy the WWE in the coming months. If a deal like that winds up going through, McMahon will make a fortune since he owns thousands of WWE shares.
