The Rock’s wow-worthy WWE earnings and expenses revealed by TKO
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is one of the most well-known people in the world. He became famous as one of the biggest stars in WWE and later landed leading roles in hit Hollywood movies.
At 53 years old, he’s the ninth highest-paid actor ever at the box office, making $11.44 billion from big movies like Fast and Furious, Jumanji, and Moana, according to Business Insider.
But he actually started his career with WWE and has made a lot of money from that too. Recently, TKO released their yearly report, which shows what Johnson will earn in 2025 and details about his $30 million stock award.
Interestingly, he was the only TKO board member who didn’t attend at least 75% of the meetings in 2025. This was likely because of his busy schedule with many other projects. The report said, “Our Board met five times,” and “every director attended at least 75% of meetings except Mr. Johnson, who missed some due to prior business commitments.”
Fans might be surprised by how much Johnson earned. In 2025, he made $900,000 in royalties from a merchandising deal he signed when he joined the board in January 2024, according to F4W/WON. He also got $600,000 to cover travel costs related to his services under the Johnson Services Agreement.
Plus, his company, Seven Bucks Productions, earned under $120,000 for working on a potential non-scripted project. All these amounts combined put his earnings well into the seven-figure range, which is great on top of what he makes from his movies.
