Remember when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was just a wrestler? We can't either! The global megastar is, without a doubt, one of the most famous men in the world, having successfully launched an acting career after his WWE tenure.
So what does one of the most famous men in the world do after successfully making a name for himself in wrestling and acting? Become a superhero, obviously! (Well, unless you count his Fast & Furious character Luke as a superhero.)
With Dwayne Johnson starring in Black Adam and set to reprise his role as Maui in the highly anticipated Moana 2, it's natural to wonder about his current net worth. We've got the details.
What is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's net worth?
Well, the only thing bigger than the Rock himself is his astounding net worth. Dwayne Johnson's net worth is an estimated $800 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and it makes total sense why.

Did you know that the Rock has actually founded his own successful tequila brand as well? Fans of the Rock's lined up for hours when a traveling Teremana Tequila truck stopped by their respective cities on a summer-wide tour in 2022 (sadly, the actual Rock wasn't there, but understandable given his schedule!).
In addition to his most recent blockbuster Black Adam, the Rock has also starred in popular films like the latest Jumanji reboot series, Moana, The Scorpion King, Race to Witch Mountain, DC League of Super-Pets, and many, many more. He also voices Maui in Moana 2, set to hit theaters on Nov. 27, 2024!
Oh, and did we mention that Rock has written an autobiography, The Rock Says? We think an update is warranted, given the fact that the book was a bestseller when it was released — in 2000!
The Rock is a girl dad.
The Rock has many hyphens on his résumé, in addition to being the father of three daughters — Simone, Tiana, and Jasmine. Simone herself is also a WWE wrestler! (We guess you could say she went into the family business!)
Hollywood glamour aside, the Rock has also dedicated his name to multiple charitable causes. He founded the Dwayne Johnson Rock Foundation in 2006, which is dedicated to helping at-risk and terminally ill children in need.
The actor has also donated money to a number of charitable causes, including donating $25K for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, according to his Wikipedia page. He also worked with the nonprofit organization Malama Kauai to help locals repair damages after the floods of 2018.
And yes — the Rock works out. A lot. If you look up the word "gains" in the dictionary, you'll likely see a picture of the Rock right next to it.
But suffice it to say, the Rock has cemented himself as a Hollywood heavyweight thanks to his years of hard work and dedication, and it's certainly paid off in more ways than one!
Did Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson return to WWE?
After a nearly decade-long hiatus from wrestling, The Rock made a comeback at WrestleMania 40 in February 2024. This time, he returned as a new version of his former character, Rocky Maivia, now known as Final Boss. During his comeback, he and Roman Reigns secured a victory over Cody Rhodes and Seth “Freakin” Rollins.
He also holds a seat the board of directors of TKO Group, per ESPN.
Why is the U.S. Army suing the Rock?
After the Army launched an $11 million marketing deal with the Rock and the United Football League (UFL), of which Dwayne is a co-owner, the campaign failed to attract any new recruits, according to Military.com. The federal agency has since filed a lawsuit against both parties, seeking to recover at least $6 million. The agency alleges that Dwayne did not meet his contractual obligations, which included posting five social media updates; they claim he only posted two.
