The net worth of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson 2024

How rich is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson?

Dwayne Douglas Johnson is an American wrestler who has managed to continue to be extremely successful in showbiz after his wrestling career. Unfortunately, most WWE wrestlers cannot say the same about themselves and even today The Rock, as Dwayne Johnson is often called, earns millions every year, especially as an actor and producer. In addition to his African-American-Samoan ancestry, Dwayne probably also has his family to thank for his career as a wrestler.

His father and grandfather were both extremely successful wrestlers, so The Rock is considered one of the first superstars of the third generation of wrestling . From a former American football player to a wrestler and then to an action hero and actor, Dwayne Johnson has had a meteoric career and secured a place in Hollywood that no one can easily challenge. The Rock’s estimated net worth is 800 million euros .

In 2016, The Rock was the highest-paid actor in the world, with a salary of $64,500,000 . This is mainly due to his roles in Central Intelligence, Fast and Furious 8, and Baywatch. The Rock has played alongside Vin Diesel five times in the Fast and Furious series alone . In 2017, he was able to break his previous year’s record again, earning around $125 million. His salary from the hit series ” Ballers ” also contributed to this, with the superstar earning $700,000 per episode in season 5.

Teremana Tequila

Like many stars before him, The Rock also entered the alcohol business. He launched his tequila brand “Teremana” in March 2020 and has already earned a fortune in the millions. It is assumed that he holds around 30% of the shares, which alone corresponds to a value of around one billion US dollars.

The life of Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne was born in beautiful California, but his family moved to Hawaii at an early age. Dwayne also ended up in a very sunny place during his studies. He studied at the University of Miami in Florida, where he quickly rose to become the star of the football team. In 1991, The Rock and his team even won the NCAA Championship, proving early on what a great athlete he was. However, a knee injury put a stop to his plans, and he no longer played American football . Instead, his focus was primarily on wrestling, with Dwayne making his first major appearance in 1995. He was naturally trained by none other than his father, who had plenty of experience as a wrestler. Just one year later, in 1996, the WWF signed Dwayne because he had impressed from the start as an exceptional talent. Dwayne has been performing under the name “The Rock” since 1997. While he had previously tried out other stage names in reference to his father and grandfather, this was the name that simply stuck.

The Rock: WWE Superstar makes millions

As successful as Dwayne was as The Rock, he wanted more. Dwayne repeatedly took breaks from wrestling, although he returned to WWE in the summer of 2002. It wasn’t the first time that Dwayne had won the WWE Championship. As a wrestler, he had reached the top and was simply looking for a new challenge that would also prove to be extremely lucrative. It wasn’t until the fall of 2006 that it was finally clear that The Rock would no longer be a wrestler in the future.

After becoming WWE Champion 8 times , WCW Champion 2 times, WWF Intercontinental Champion 2 times and WWF Tag Team Champion 5 times, it was time for something new. He always made brief returns to the WWE, where he earned up to $3.5 million a year. The last time he was seen was in 2013. First of all, Dwayne Johnson was not on the big screen, but only on TV. In “That ’70s Show” he had the great honor of being able to play his father. And The Rock was also able to appear in Star Trek as an alien gladiator.

The highest paid actor in the world

As early as 2001, he also appeared in the cinema as an action actor. “The Mummy Returns” was one of Dwayne’s first really big box office hits. However, over time, Dwayne has not only been seen in action-packed roles, but also appeared in a Disney film called “Daddy’s Own Plan” in 2007, for example. Here, too, Dwayne played at least one athlete, namely a football quarterback who unexpectedly finds out that he is already a father.

However, various roles in several “Fast & Furious” films as well as the role in “Faster” have clearly established Dwayne as one of Hollywood’s action heroes. The Rock even appeared as a musician at least once, namely in 2000 on an album by Wyclef Jean.
