Going from the ring to the silver screen, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been able to build one of the most impressive fortunes in entertainment.
The former multi-time WWE champion boasts an estimated net worth of around $800million, powered by a blockbuster acting career, his thriving Tequila empire, and a number of high-profile endorsements.
When you add all that to his WWE legacy, equity in TKO, real estate holdings, and stakes in outside ventures, Johnson’s financial reach extends far beyond Hollywood.
Here, we take a closer look at his fortune and see how the WWE star was able to amass such an impressive fortune.
Movie industry
Estimated earnings: $300 – $400million
When it comes to the movie business, Dwayne Johnson is a colossus. The former wrestler commands immense salaries for his involvement in films, while his recurring contracts bring him an estimated $100million per year.
Johnson has been involved in hugely successful movies such as Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Moana, San Andreas and The Tooth Fairy. He has also played a huge part in the Fast & Furious franchise, with his involvement in Furious 7 helping the movie to break the $1billion mark at the box office in just 17 days.
The Rock also has his own production company – Seven Buck Productions – which adds a significant chunk to his estimated earnings.
In total, the movie industry makes up half of Johnson’s entire net worth.
Teremana Tequila
Estimated earnings: $200 – $300million
One of the best business decisions The Rock has ever made was to get involved in the beverage industry with his trademark Teremana Tequila.
Johnson holds a substantial equity stake in the $3billion company, with some reports suggesting he owns 30% of the company. That would place his share at around $1billion, though the real value is likely to be in the hundreds of millions.
Endorsement deals
Estimated earnings: $50 – $75million
Acting and tequila bring in the big bucks, but it’s fair to say that The Rock also makes a killing from endorsement deals.
Lucrative partnerships with companies such as Under Armour, Ford and Apple have turned into a solid income stream for the former wrestler. An estimated $50million to be exact.
Wrestling career
Estimated earnings: $30 – $40million
The Rock has gained global fame thanks to an array of jobs and projects. However, his bread and butter will always be wrestling.
It was the WWE which provided Johnson with his first breakthrough – one which he certainly made the most out of.
Instead of earning a salary from the wrestling business, The Rock now takes income from his stock and trademark deals – all thanks to his position on the board of TKO.
Real estate
Estimated earnings: $30 – $40million
The Rock has a luxury real estate portfolio which includes an estate at Beverly Park worth around $27million. Johnson’s portfolio also includes properties such as Mana Ranch in Virginia.
