Members

André the Giant

André René Roussimoff was born on May 19, 1946, in Coulommiers, France, where he quickly exhibited extraordinary growth due to acromegaly, a hormonal disorder caused by excess growth hormone from the pituitary gland. This condition led to his gigantism, resulting in a billed height of 7 feet 4 inches and a weight exceeding 500 pounds by adulthood, making him one of the largest professional wrestlers in history. Roussimoff began his professional wrestling career in in 1966 under the ring name before expanding internationally. He debuted in in 1971, initially wrestling in , , where his immense size quickly garnered attention. By 1973, he had joined the under promoter , adopting the name and becoming a cornerstone of the promotion during the as a beloved fan-favorite known as the "." A pivotal moment in André's career occurred at WrestleMania III on March 29, 1987, when he faced WWF Champion Hulk Hogan in a highly anticipated match before a record crowd of over 93,000 in Pontiac, Michigan. Although billed as undefeated for 15 years, André was body-slammed by Hogan, marking a dramatic loss that signaled the beginning of his transition from hero to villain. This event was preceded by a gradual heel turn, culminating on February 7, 1987, during a segment of Piper's Pit, where André aligned himself with manager Bobby Heenan, betraying Hogan and challenging for the WWF Championship. Under Heenan's guidance, André's imposing presence shifted to emphasize ruthless dominance, setting the stage for his role as the physical powerhouse in future alliances. In the ring, André relied heavily on his unparalleled size for dominance, employing simple yet devastating moves such as the sitdown splash and double underhook suplex to overpower opponents. His style was characterized by rather than agility, as and related health complications, including spinal issues that necessitated in late 1986, limited his mobility and endurance. Despite these constraints, he became iconic for extraordinary feats of strength, such as body-slamming massive wrestlers like and effortlessly carrying or ragdolling multiple opponents in matches, showcasing his raw power as a solo attraction.

Ted DiBiase

Ted joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in early 1987 initially as a babyface, but by May of that year, he adopted the "Million Dollar Man" at a house show in , , transforming into a wealthy, corrupt aristocrat who flaunted his riches and operated under the belief that "everybody has a price." This persona positioned DiBiase as a scheming financier, using bribes and hired muscle to manipulate outcomes rather than relying solely on physical prowess, which became central to his role in the Mega Bucks stable as the strategic mastermind funding their pursuits. In September 1987, DiBiase began a high-profile feud with over the Championship, positioning himself as the arrogant title contender who attempted to buy his way to victory, though he ultimately lost to in the tournament final at on March 27, 1988. This rivalry highlighted DiBiase's manipulative tactics, such as offering cash incentives to officials and opponents, reinforcing his character's disdain for fair competition and setting the stage for his alliance with , whose services he acquired through financial leverage. DiBiase's wealth-driven approach extended to the inaugural on October 16, 1988, where he won by defeating in the final after bribing Ron Bass to forfeit their quarterfinal match, crowning himself "King Ted" and further solidifying his role as the corrupt benefactor in Mega Bucks. DiBiase's in-ring style complemented his as a brawler who favored calculated aggression over reckless brawling, often employing submission holds to wear down foes while avoiding unnecessary risks by violence to associates. His signature Million Dollar Dream—a chinlock variation—served as both a finisher and a symbol of his , methodically draining opponents' will as if extracting their "price" for defeat, allowing him to maintain the illusion of untouchability within the Mega Bucks dynamic.

Managers

Bobby Heenan

, known as "The Brain," was a legendary heel manager in the starting from 1984, where he guided numerous top villains to prominence. He managed multiple elite heels, including , whom he began handling in 1987 as part of his stable to amplify their menacing presence. Heenan's signature style relied on eloquent promos that mocked babyfaces with sharp intellect rather than physical confrontation, establishing him as the cerebral force behind his clients' dominance. Throughout the 1980s, he engaged in heated verbal feuds with , using cutting insults to build animosity and elevate the stakes of major storylines. In the context of the Mega Bucks, Heenan initially managed André solo before selling his contract to in January 1988 for a storyline $1 million, a that shifted alliances but preserved Heenan's oversight due to the emerging partnership. Despite the sale, he continued as the primary manager for the Mega Bucks, leveraging his strategic acumen to coordinate their efforts. Heenan's interference tactics were cunning and frequent, often involving distractions to referees that allowed his charges to gain unfair advantages, or employing props such as a cane to disrupt opponents without direct involvement. He worked in a support role alongside Virgil, who provided physical enforcement for DiBiase.

Virgil

Virgil, whose real name was Michael Jones, debuted in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the summer of 1987 as the personal bodyguard and accountant to Ted DiBiase, often seen carrying DiBiase's custom Million Dollar Belt during entrances and appearances. In this subservient role, Virgil embodied DiBiase's signature philosophy that "everybody has a price," demonstrating unwavering loyalty in exchange for payment, which underscored the dynamic of hired muscle in DiBiase's lavish persona. As the enforcer for the Mega Bucks alongside DiBiase and , Virgil provided essential physical backup, accompanying the team to the ring and intervening in matches to shield DiBiase from attacks, frequently absorbing punishment himself to protect his employer. His involvement extended to joint management efforts with , where Virgil's silent intimidation complemented Heenan's verbal strategies. This protective function highlighted Virgil's role as an extension of DiBiase's wealth and influence, often positioning him as in confrontations. Virgil's in-ring style was that of a straightforward powerhouse brawler, relying on basic but effective maneuvers such as stomps, clotheslines, and body slams to overpower opponents when he entered matches. With limited microphone skills, he remained the epitome of muscle, rarely speaking and focusing instead on raw physicality to enforce DiBiase's directives. His tenure in this capacity ended dramatically in 1991 when he turned on DiBiase after years of service, marking the close of his time as the loyal . Jones died on February 28, 2024, at the age of 61.

This walkout marked the end of the partnership, with no additional matches contested by the duo after that date. The team had been active for roughly six to seven months, forming in the wake of 's controversial win over on February 5, 1988, and functioning more as a dominant alliance to antagonize top babyfaces than as regular contenders.

He pursued the WWF Championship held by Randy Savage, challenging him at Royal Rumble 1989 and losing via countout on January 15, 1989.
