He allegedly dipped into a retirement account to place a $92,000 ring on her finger. According to The Observer, Beth Flair spends $65,000 per year on clothing, and $50,000 per year on vacations. She spent $50,000 on Christmas gifts in 2004. Flair maintains that his salary with WWE is $500,000 per year, and that the IRS has seized his checks since April.
