Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson tops the list of the highest-paid actors of 2024.
Per Forbes, The Rock earned an estimated $88 million last year, which makes him the highest-paid actor of 2024., with a gross of $103 million. The article notes that he brought in an estimated $50 as part of the deal that saw him star in Red One. He also starred in Moana 2, and one agent said that he made “an ungodly amount of money” after negotiating for a percentage of its profits as an executive producer.
The Rock returned to WWE on the February 21st episode of WWE SmackDown and presented Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes with an offer, saying that he wanted him to be his champion. He is set to appear at WWE Elimination Chamber.
In 2025, The Rock is set to star in “The Smashing Machine”, in which he will play Mark Kerr.
The Rock On Triple H
The Rock discussed working with Triple H following his return earlier in February. At the WWE SmackDown Post-Show Press Conference, he was asked who he collaborated with. He pointed to Nick Khan and Triple H.
“Triple H loves this business. I’ve known him for a long time. We’ve done a lot of fun stuff together, lot of crazy stuff. He’s doing a great job. I talk with him often, we’re very close. What I like about Triple H is that he’ll present me with something, I’ll like it, then we’ll chop it up, we’ll talk about it, and I’ll present him with something else.
“But ultimately, what I love about Paul, by the way, it’s always been this way with Paul. Even back when we were wrestling together every night on the road is that, ‘Hey, let’s do something that’s never been done. Let’s do something that’s unpredictable. Let’s do something that’s bold.’ So regarding tonight with The Final Boss and coming to Cody Rhodes and saying, ‘I want to make you bigger than The Rock, and I want to provide you, I want to make all your dreams come true,’ audacious and bold and disruptive. I could tell Paul, and he’ll say, ‘Great, let’s go for it.’ I love that about him, and that’s the bond that we have. Nick is the same way. By the way, Ari Emanuel, who’s my very close business partner, who’s the owner, feels the same way too.”
