The Rock also owns a tequila brand called “Teremana

He earns $20 million per film – on average

Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, is one of the highest-grossing actors in Hollywood and his on-screen talent is paying off.

The fact is, Johnson may be even richer than you think.

With a net worth of $800 million, Johnson is well on his way to becoming a billionaire.

But, as they say, Rome was not built in a day.

Johnson’s rise to stardom took a long time.

From the Rock of WWE to Dwayne Johnson of Hollywood

Former WWE star, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has managed to build a successful career in Hollywood.

That’s part of the reason he’s doing so well today.

Other wrestlers tried, some even succeeded – like John Cena, for example – but Johnson took it to the next level.

His first film was released in 2001, when he played the role of the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns.

Since then, the actor has starred in 51 films, grossing more than $13 billion worldwide.

Furious 7 was his best-performing film, grossing $1.5 billion.

Dwayne Johnson is one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood and if you want to hire him for a film, prepare to shell out at least $20 million.

However, like most A-grade Hollywood stars, Johnson usually signs first-dollar gross contracts for his films.

In other words, it shares a percentage of the box office revenue.

And, of course, he sometimes produces the films he stars in.

Endorsement contracts

As a bankable celebrity, Johnson earns considerable amounts of money every year from his endorsement deals.

He has worked with Under Armour, Apple and Ford, and also has his own tequila brand, Teremana.

In its first year, Teremana Tequila sold over 600,000 bottles.

And then, of course, there is social media.

The Rock monetizes his social media presence and uses his social media, particularly Instagram, to promote his films.

Every contract is different, meaning sometimes it’s part of his salary, while on other occasions he’s paid to do it on top of his salary.

Furthermore, his rate per post on social networks such as TikTok is around $40,000.

Therefore, if you want to promote your brand on TikTok, it will cost you at least five figures.
