How did The Rock build his enormous wealth?
While The Rock may no longer wrestle full-time, he is one of the powerful presences in the WWE universe. He was once the highest-paid performer, and when he returned to wrestling in 2012-13 after starring in films, he made $5 million annually at the time, Sports Illustrated reported.
The athlete-turned-actor, according to another report in The Street, joined the Board of Directors at TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE and UFC. He was reportedly paid $30 million for his involvement. While he does not earn a salary, his occasional returns and influences remain highly visible in the sport.
Johnson, reportedly, has also starred in over 60 films and often earned $20 million or more per role, including for hit films like Black Adam, Jumanji, Fast & Furious, and Hobbs & Shaw. He had broken records in 2001, according to the report, when he made $5.5 million for his debut film The Mummy Returns. This was reportedly the highest salary ever for a first-time actor at the time.
The wrestler also co-founded Seven Bucks Productions with ex-wife Dany Garcia and has produced many of his own hits, which gave him a bigger slice of profits.
The Rock's business ventures that pack a punch
As per the Sports Illustrated report, The Rock is also a savvy businessman and has multiple ventures like Teemana Tequila. Launched in 2020, the alcohol recorded explosive sales in its first year, which has continued to grow. He, reportedly, also has his own energy drink line, which competes in a billion-dollar market. He partnered with an artisan ice cream brand and sells pints based on his legendary cheat meals.

Deshaun Watson and Jilly Anais show off 7-figure ring after private Miami wedding
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and model-singer Jilly Anais are officially husband and wife. The couple, who began dating in 2019, tied the knot in a private ceremony in Miami on July 3—the same day they marked their sixth anniversary. Photos posted to their Instagram Stories showed them showing off matching diamond wedding bands. Watson wore a sleek custom suit with gold embroidery on his sleeve reading '07.03.25,' while Anais was in an elegant lace gown with mesh and floral detailing. A star-studded love story becomes marriage The wedding, held on the heels of Anais's recent Sports Illustrated Swim Week appearance, came just months after their engagement was announced in a March joint post. Known for her multi-hyphen career as a musician, cookbook author, and SI Swim Search finalist, Anais wore a radiant emerald-cut diamond ring valued at 2.5 million dollars. She later updated her Instagram name to 'Jilly Anais Watson,' confirming the marriage publicly. Rather than a traditional bridal party, the couple kept it private: Watson's brother served as Best Man while Anais's brother stood by her as Man of Honor. She revealed earlier to Sports Illustrated that her father walked her down the aisle and that she avoided the typical bridal stress. 'I am the furthest thing from a bridezilla,' Anais said, crediting Watson with planning the honeymoon solo. Celebration during football uncertainty The marriage arrives during a challenging chapter in Watson's football career. The Browns quarterback is still recovering from a second Achilles surgery after re-injuring it in January 2025. Having missed most of the 2024 season, he's likely out for most, if not all, of 2025. Meanwhile, Cleveland's quarterback room has grown crowded with the additions of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. But off the field, Watson's new chapter with Anais is off to a shining start.

ECW Legend Defends CM Punk's Alleged Hypocrisy Over Performing at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia
Image via WWE: CM Punk CM Punk is perhaps the most outspoken and controversial star in WWE history. Examples of this quality are well-documented with his 2011 'Pipebomb' promo and rants outside the ring about various issues, ranging from the independent circuit and backstage stories. However, one major rant came in 2020 when Punk lambasted The Miz online in relation to the WWE star performing in Saudi Arabia for cash despite the country's alleged history of human rights violations. But in 2025, Punk wrestled John Cena at Night of Champions in the Arab nation. This wasn't free of controversy. On the NOC kick-off show, Punk was targeted by a WWE fan in the crowd about his comments, after which Punk publicly apologized for his rant from years ago. And naturally, this has attracted many naysayers calling Punk a hypocrite owing to his persona of being outspoken but still apologising after reaping the benefits of performing in Saudi Arabia. However, Rob Van Dam has stepped in to defend the former WWE Champion. Rob Van Dam Feels Differently About CM Punk's Change of Heart Taking to his '1 of a Kind' podcast, the former ECW World Champion said, "I don't consider it hypocrisy unless it was done at the same time. People can grow. Their perspective can change. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Viaja al Caribe 2025 en crucero todo incluido Cruceros | Anuncios de Búsqueda Más información Undo If he said something 5 years ago, and then now he feels different about it. That's not what a hypocrite is. We all grow, feel different.' The WWE Hall of Famer further added, 'Let's say you're a kid in school and you think this kid's a jerk, and then you start talking to him, and then you find out he's really cool, and he becomes your friend. Are you a hypocrite? No. You just have more information now than you had before, and so your view has changed." This reflection from Van Dam speaks highly about Punk's transformation since returning to the WWE at Survivor Series 2023. The former WWE Champion is no longer the guy with an extremely edgy attitude and is now firmly established as the locker room leader. Moreover, he even main-evented his first-ever WrestleMania this year against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Apart from this, Punk's change of heart even received appreciation from WWE CCO Triple H, who was happy with Punk's newfound perspective.

Former WWE Star Has No Hard Feelings for Ex-wife Over Extramarital Affair With Brock Lesnar
Image via Instagram Brock Lesnar is undoubtedly the most accomplished combat sports athlete of all time. His achievements include the 2000 NCAA D1 Wrestling title, WWE Championship on 10 different occasions, and being a former UFC Heavyweight Champion. Moreover, his personal life is also flourishing as he has been married to former WWE star Sable since 2006. However, their relationship started on a rather unceremonious note. For the unversed, Sable cheated on her ex-husband and WWE star, Marc Mero, in 2003 before getting with Lesnar. The former Intercontinental title holder was married to Sable for 10 years between 1994 and 2004 and even worked together on television. And the 64-year-old recently opened up about his ex-wife's betrayal and the situation leading to it. Marc Mero Forgives Sable Despite Suffering Betrayal at the Hands of His Ex-Wife Mero has recently written a new book titled 'Badd to Good'. In an interview on Wrestling Life with Ben Veal, the former WWE star revealed that he has no anger in his heart for Sable and that he has forgiven the former Women's Champion. 'Forgiveness is so important in life because, like I said, if you don't forgive someone, it's a cancer that eventually destroys you. People ask me all the time, 'How do you know when you've forgiven someone?' and for me it was easy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo It was like when someone mentioned her name, I didn't get angry anymore, and I wish her absolutely the best. I mean, we share a daughter together." Marc Mero Speaks Out on Sable and Brock Lesnar The former WWE star reflected on his time with his ex-star and added, 'There's so many great memories that we shared together, but also there was a lot of heartache, and writing about that brings back those memories and those feelings of hurt and pain and things that you went through, but I just use it as fuel to help other people go through things that they may be going through in their life. But, like I said, no animosity, no bitterness, no resentment, and especially total forgiveness. " For the unversed, Sable and Mero both left the WWE after backstage issues with Vince McMahon at the end of 1999. However, the former Women's Champion returned to the promotion in 2003, and during this stint, she got into an affair with Lesnar, who was new to the company and was reigning as the WWE Champion on the SmackDown brand. This is when Mero discovered Sable's affair with 'The Beast Incarnate' through her voicemail. This led to their divorce in 2004, and two years later, Sable and Lesnar got married. Since retiring from wrestling in 2006, Mero has become a motivational speaker and is also the founder of the Champion of Choices non-profit organization.
