DWAYNE JOHNSON – EST. $400 MILLION

His elegant good looks and trademark eyebrow arch helped establish World Wrestling Smackdowns as a must-see television show. Succeeding in his father’s footsteps, Dwayne Johnson found his niche at professional wrestling in the then-WWF in 1996. A year later, he adopted The Rock’s character and became one of the most well-known faces in wrestling, winning several titles along the way and becoming one of WWE’s most awarded wrestlers.

Johnson’s success in wrestling led to many other opportunities in the entertainment industry, like the Fast and Furious franchise and Skyscraper. He earns ample upfront compensation and a share of the profits from each film he appears in. His paychecks attribute to his A-list status, and he is now listed as one of the highest-paid Hollywood celebrities. Johnson has also leveraged his investments to vast sums of money, and he’s breaking records in the process.
