DWAYNE Johnson has gone from a wrestling legend to the highest paid actor in the world.
The Rock now has a HUGE bank balance and certainly likes to splash the cash on a luxury life of mansions, jets and fast cars.
What is Dwayne Johnson’s net worth?
Dwayne Johnson is an American actor and semi-retired wrestler who also goes by the name of The Rock.
He was born in California on May 2, 1972, but grew up in New Zealand, Hawaii and Pennsylvania.
Dwayne comes from a long line of wrestlers.
His dad was Rocky Johnson, a famous wrestler in the 70s.
Johnson is worth a massive $800 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
What is Dwayne Johnson’s movie, The Smashing Machine?
The Smashing Machine is an upcoming biographical sports drama film.
Produced by Johnson, A24, and Benny Safdie – formerly of the Safdie brothers – the movie stars Johnson as former wrestler and mixed martial artist Mark Kerr.
Kerr was a two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion who won over two dozen MMA titles throughout his career.
Safdie is directing and wrote the film, while Emily Blunt stars as Dawn Staples, Kerr’s now ex-wife.
Principal photography began in May 2024 in Vancouver, New Mexico, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, and is expected to run through August 2024.
“Benny wants to create, and continues to push the envelope when it comes to stories that are raw and real, characters that are authentic and at times uncomfortable and arresting,” Johnson told Variety in a January 2024 interview.
“I’m at a point in my career where I want to push myself in ways that I’ve not pushed myself in the past.”
“I’m at a point in my career where I want to make films that matter, that explore a humanity and explore struggle [and] pain,” he added.
The Smashing Machine is set to be released sometime in 2025.

How much does Dwayne Johnson make?
Dwayne’s initial wealth came from competing in wrestling tournaments.
He made his money through appearances and merchandise and now earns serious amounts acting in Hollywood blockbusters.
The star, who famously had less than $10 to his name when he started his career, made an impressive $97 million in 2019 – which made him the highest-earning actor in Hollywood that year.
Johnson now earns a reported minimum of $20 million per movie, though it’s unclear if he took a pay cut for his upcoming indie flick.
He is also the highest paid celeb on Instagram, where he can charge millions per post on account of his 396 million followers.
If Dwayne’s followers were a country, they’d be the third most populous country on the planet, behind only India and China.
Johnson also makes money via his production company, Seven Bucks Productions, and serves as the co-owner of the United Football League (UFL).
He is also the founder of Teremana Tequila, which is valued at nearly $3.5 billion.
How does Dwayne Johnson spend his money?
Dwayne certainly knows how to splash the cash.
Here we take you through his luxury lifestyle of fast cars and posh pads.
Homes
Dwayne reportedly owns a $5 million mansion in Miami, as well as a working farm in Virginia.
In late 2019, he reportedly snapped up a $9.3 million mega-mansion near Atlanta, Georgia.
The gargantuan pile boasts eight bedrooms and a pool, along with a wine cellar and a 12-stall horse stable.
Dwayne also has mansions in Hollywood, Florida and London.
On Christmas in 2018, he gave his mum the present of a new house, which he revealed in a sweet Instagram video.
Travel
Dwayne has a passion for supercars, and boasts an impressive collection of some of the world’s priciest wheels.
Chief among them is a £1 million ($1.3 million) Pagani Huayra.
He also shared pictures posing next to a limited edition Ferrari LaFerrari, worth £1.15 million ($1.5 million), and a Rolls Royce Wraith, worth £260,000 ($346,000), which his Ballers character drove.
Dwayne also has his own private jet (of course he does).
Gym
Well that body doesn’t happen overnight.
To keep himself in tiptop shape he has his very own pop-up gym, nicknamed the Iron Paradise.
The state-of-the-art gym, decked out with 40,000 pounds of equipment, reportedly follows him around the world.
Football team
In August 2020 he closed a whopping £11.5 million ($15 million) deal to buy the XFL American football league.
He purchased it from Vince McMahon.
The team was first set up in 2001 but folded after just one year and then McMahon reportedly injected £153 million ($203 million) to get it going again in 2020.
However, after just five weeks of the new season, the XFL was in ruin because of Covid-19 and McMahon filed for bankruptcy in April.
So Dwayne teamed up with ex-wife Dany Garcia and investment firm RedBird Capital to purchase the franchise.
Still, $11.5 million wouldn’t have even made a dent in that massive bank balance of his.
