What Is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Net Worth?
The former pro wrestler is now one of the biggest movie stars in the world.
Every time Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson appears in a World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE:WWE) ring he pads his bank account for relatively little work.
Show up, raise an eyebrow, deliver his signature catchphrases, maybe throw a "People's Elbow," and the one-time wrestling champion, now major movie star, earns millions a year. World Wrestling Entertainment does not publish wrestler pay, but The Rock remains one of its biggest stars and merchandise sellers even though he only appears a few times a year.
Though he appeared at WrestleMania and still cashes some hefty WWE checks (reported to be about $3.5 million a year) the bulk of Johnson's $52 million in 2014 earnings, according to Forbes, camefrom his movie paychecks.
Though estimates vary, sources ranging from OK! Magazine toCelebrityNetWorth.com peg Johnson's fortune at between $125 million and $150 million. That estimate seems a little high given that the star has gone through a divorce, but Johnson's split from Dany Garcia in 2008 was not a typical breakup. The two, who split custody of their child, remain in a business relationship and Garcia did not take any alimony, TMZreported.
Instead, she remains Johnson's business partner, earning over $700,000 a year as his financial manager and sometimes producing partner. That deal, which is especially rare for high-profile divorces, leaves "The Rock" with most of his fortune intact, making the $125 million-$150 million estimate plausible.
