Dwayne Johnson, also known as ‘The Rock,’ was one of the highest-paid actors in the world. Johnson’s success as an actor, combined with his business ventures and endorsements, has contributed to his impressive earnings. According to Forbes’ annual list of the world’s highest-paid actors, The Rock has consistently been among the top earners.
In 2020, Dwayne Johnson claimed the top spot on the list, earning a staggering $87.5 million. This was largely due to his roles in several blockbuster films. However, The Great One has been facing some setbacks in his professional life lately. On top of that, his co-owned football league “XFL” suffered a massive loss of $60 million recently. Johnson earlier lost his spot as the highest-paid entertainer as well.

Earlier this year, Forbes dropped the list of the Top 10 highest-paid entertainers of 2023. The list was topped by the renowned music group “Genesis”. Furthermore, the list contains world-famous Latino rapper, Bad Bunny, renowned musician, Taylor Swift, Hollywood actor Brad Pitt and director James Cameron and so on. However, Dwayne Johnson shockingly didn’t even make it to the top 10.
As of 2023, The Rock stands at a net worth of around $800 million. And according to Forbes, his earnings at the start of this year were around $87 million as per sources. Moreover, Bad Bunny, being the 10th on the list has recorded an earning of around $88 million which is just a million more than Dwayne.
Meanwhile, if The Great One somehow manages to overcome the recent setbacks and loses as an actor and entrepreneur, he can once again join the list next year. As a matter of fact, he is still one of the most bankable stars in the world.
Is The acting career of Dwayne Johnson in trouble considering recent setbacks?
Dwayne Johnson, often referred to as “The Rock,” is widely regarded as a highly popular actor. He has amassed a significant following and has been able to transition from a successful professional wrestling career to becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
However, after enjoying so much success, Johnson’s recent acting ventures have faced several troubles. Last year, Dwayne was axed from his role in the DCEU after his “Black Adam” movie failed to meet expectations.
Later, he was one of the defendants in the $3 billion kidnapping lawsuit by a former WWE employee, Trenesha Biggers. Amid the lawsuit, Disney reportedly cut ties with Johnson and axed him from several projects. Nevertheless, Rock’s upcoming projects carry a lot of expectations and hopes of overcoming setbacks.
