The Rock Remains Highest Paid Actor in the World: How Much Does Dwayne Johnson Make?
The actor topped the Forbes list of actors' annual earnings in 2020, setting a new record. His net worth is even higher.
The Rock does everything big, and that includes his salary. Dwayne Johnson repeats one more year as the highest paid actor in Forbes magazine's list of annual earnings of celebrities. As if that were not enough, the actor is also the 10th highest paid celebrity in the world, climbing five positions compared to 2019, when the actor was placed at number 15 on the same list. He currently ranks behind Kanye West, Tyler Perry, and LeBron James, among others.
The rise of him in the table can be explained in the salaries that he will receive for the next films 'Black Adam' -his greatest physical challenge of him-, 'Jungle Cruise' and 'Red Notice'. According to Forbes, the actor and former wrestling star can earn more than $ 20 million per movie thanks to his successful film career. And of course he keeps getting paid for his work on his comedy 'Young Rock' and for being the host of 'The Titan Games'.
But not only does man live on movies and series, that is why The Rock has other lines of business for which it also makes good money. Anyone who is his fan knows that he spends a lot of time in the gym, a habit that he maintains on his Instagram, an environment that he takes advantage of to promote his Under Armor Project Rock clothing line.
The actor's long career has brought him great fortune, and with his ever-growing filmography, it doesn't seem like The Rock plans to stop making millions of dollars each year. We review his annual earnings from 2018 to today.
2018: The Rock earned $ 124 million in revenue
Forbes said Johnson's $ 124 million in 2018 earnings from his movies and the HBO series "Ballers" were the highest ever for an actor in the 20 years the publication has recorded celebrity earnings.
Unsurprisingly, Johnson took to Instagram the news to commemorate such a milestone, showing appreciation for his success and his commitment to hard work.
The Rock's social media presence is apparently one of the main reasons he makes so much money from his blockbuster movies, which can fetch him up to $ 25 million per role. According to Forbes, the actor adds a "seven-figure social media share" to each of his film deals, meaning that all of his Instagram tweets and videos are not just a way to keep fans in the loop, but an additional source of income.
That $ 124 million is a huge sum, but that's just the 2018 contribution to Johnson's massive fortune.
2019: The Rock made $ 89.4 million
'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' or 'Hobbs and Shaw' were the films, among others, that reported the most earnings to The Rock that year whose total amounted to 89.4 million dollars, although Johnson also earned money for starring in the fifth Ballers season and was the host of NBC's Titan Games.
2020: The Rock made $ 87.5 million
Although it represents a decrease from what was entered in 2019, no one can argue that The Rock did not make a considerable amount of money last year: 87.5 million dollars. Although his career in 'Ballers' came to an end in 2019, The Rock has more projects such as presenting NBC's The Titan Games, or serving as narrator, creator and executive producer of the comedy 'Young Rock'. And that's only on television.
In 2021, The Rock is scheduled to appear on 'Jungle Cruise', 'Red Notice' and 'Free Guy.' The actor is also filming 'Black Adam' and has recently released more clothing under his Under Armor Project Rock line, so 2021 looks very good for the actor's pocket.
The Rock's total net worth is estimated at $ 320 million
His net worth, built over a nearly 25-year career of wrestling and acting, is estimated at $ 320 million, according to TheRichest.com. As early as 2018, Forbes estimated his net worth to be "close to $ 165 million," but did not have updated figures for 2020.
Whatever the real number, it is still like it: excessively large. With an agenda full of films and multiple collaborations with brands, that number does not promise to stop thanks, in addition, to the fact that Johnson has other businesses that bring him a very interesting plus: he owns a stake in Voss Water, which makes him a co-owner of the brand; And in 2020, Johnson also bought the XFL football league. Not bad for a guy who started with just seven bucks to his name.
