WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase Sr.’s Christian nonprofit received more than $2 million in federal welfare funds from the state of Mississippi, according to records obtained by the Clarion Ledger.
DiBiase, known during his time WWE as “The Million Dollar Man,” later became a Christian minister and founded Heart of David Ministries, which received a total of $2,126,739 in federal funds through the Mississippi Department of Human Services since 2017.
The payments began shortly after DiBiase’s son, Brett, was hired by the MDHS. The younger DiBiase, a former WWE wrestler who worked for Heart of David before being hired as the department’s deputy administrator, resigned his post after nine months.
