LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 02:  Actor Dwayne Johnson arrives at the premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures'

Dwayne Johnson is rich, but just how rich are we talking? According to Forbes, the 47-year-old actor's net worth [1] is approximately $165 million. I'll just let that sink in for a second.

So, where is Dwayne getting all that money from? Well, in 2018, he was crowned the highest paid actor in the history [2] of Forbes' Celebrity 100 list after he earned an income of $124 million from his films [3], such as Moana [4], Jumanji [5], and the Fast and Furious [6] franchise, as well as his HBO show Ballers. Dwayne reportedly makes around $25 million per role [7], but his social media presence is also a big factor in why he gets paid so much. The actor apparently adds an extra "seven-figure social media fee" to his movie contracts, which means that he's making money off of all the behind-the-scenes movie shots [8] and videos you see on his Instagram page.

Let's also not forget that Dwayne was a wrestler on WWE for nearly 25 years and has his own production company [9], Seven Bucks Productions, as well as several endorsement deals [10]. Last year, The Observer estimated that Dwayne made around $15 million from his endorsement deal with Under Armour [11] and another $15 million from his deal with Ford. Not to mention, he's launching his own tequila brand [12] very soon. Yep, it's good to be Dwayne.
