Shane McMahon is back in the WWE programming since March 2016 and since then, the company is using him as a special attraction. He has worked for the WWE for a very long period that makes him handy for the process. He also reportedly helps his father with the backstage operations. This is the reason why he is valued so much among the WWE officials.
The SEC filing of WWE for the bygone financial year is out but it never included the earnings of Shane McMahon as he’s not considered to be a corporate executive in the company. But WWE finally released their Schedule 14A documentation to the FCC and those documents are about a month late from their usual release date. Those papers did reveal how much the younger McMahon has pocketed.

Wrestlenomics provided a very interesting aspect of this paperwork which revolved around Shane McMahon’s pay financials. He seemingly took home over $800K from WWE in 2020.

“In 2020, Shane McMahon was retained as a performer for the Company for which he received minimum guaranteed performance fees and royalties aggregating approximately $820,369.”

Shane McMahon is just an on-screen talent
Shane-O-Mac is just considered to be a talent who has no connection with WWE’s corporate duties, so to speak which is unlike Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Sometimes, Shane is involved in the creative process to set things up for a PPV event.
Shane McMahon was brought back, last summer to host RAW Underground, but that weekly segment was quickly nixed due to the pandemic concerns. Then he resurfaced to participate in a WrestleMania program with Braun Strowman where he lost in a steel cage match. After putting over the Monster Among Men, the belief is that he won’t be seen for a long time, at least until Summerslam approaches closer.
Following the brand split in 2016, Shane McMahon was appointed as the commissioner of the Smackdown brand who played a pivotal TV role, back then. Gradually, that post was removed from TV and his seamless services were no more needed afterward.
