Dwayne Johnson | Actor | $250 million

Sports is in the DNA of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He began his career in sports as a wrestler and then as a football player. Regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, he played for the WWF for eight years before he pursued another career. It is not surprising for former athletes to pursue a career in acting, so it was not a surprise move.

Johnson’s debut film was with The Scorpion King in 2002. After this, he appeared in various other movies like Tooth Fairy, San Andreas, and Hercules. One of his most excellent performances, though, was in Fast & the Furious, a franchise that became one of the highest-grossing films because of The Rock. He has been consistently ranked among the highest-paid actors and has displayed excellent money management skills when he accumulated a net worth of $250 million.
