Dwayne Johnson's fortune explained
The wrester-turned movie star is worth a whole lot of money.
Dwayne Johnson's net worth has increased substantially since he began his acting career in 2001.
At the time, he had a net worth of $2M (around £3M today).
Now 21 years later, his net worth has increased to an estimated $800M (£626M).
Dwayne's initial wealth came from competing in wrestling tournaments, with him earning $1million in 1999 (around £1.5M today).
However, his bank balance is now boosted by his acting career, TV appearances, merchandise, and his newly founded tequila company.
He launched his spirit brand, Teremana tequila, in 2020 and oversaw the development of the product while it was made in Mexico.
"It took 113 distillations to get to this point," he said in his May 2021 interview on The Today Show. "Everything is handcrafted, handmade. Copper pot stills, brick ovens."

How can I turn my passion for painting into a career and retire early?
APPRENTICE star and West Ham United vice-chair Karren Brady answers your careers questions. Here, Karren gives her expert career advice to a reader who wants to sell their artwork. 1 Karren Brady gives you career advice Q) At the age of 53, I've taken up painting, and I think I'm pretty good. I mainly paint landscapes, and would like to see if I could make some money out of selling art. My dream would be to retire early and live off the proceeds of my paintings before drawing my pension, though I don't know how doable that is. My biggest problem is that I don't know where to start with selling paintings. READ MORE FROM KARREN BRADY I use a computer for my office job, but I'm not very technically minded and I realise I need to create a website if I want to get my artwork seen. But what else do I need to think about? Pamela, via email A) It's fantastic that you've discovered a real passion for painting, and even better that you're dreaming big and thinking about turning it into something profitable. Most read in Fabulous Don't worry about jumping into building a website just yet – there are easier, more approachable ways to get your art seen. Start small – take some good photos of your work (make sure you use natural light) and open an Instagram account. The Apprentice's Karren Brady gives career advice in game of Have You Ever? The platform is free, simple to use and a great way to test the waters and see what reaction your paintings get. I'd also suggest joining local art groups on Facebook, as I've seen so many people connect, sell their work and get advice that way. Platforms like Artfinder and Etsy are also worth looking into, plus don't underestimate the value of a local craft market to get face-to-face feedback and build your confidence. Most importantly, make sure you sign your work and keep a log of each piece. Finally, try to speak to other artists whenever and wherever you can – people are often more helpful than you might expect. Got a careers question for Karren? Email
