#40: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Some people might be surprised to see this next name on our list. Those who have mostly only seen Dwayne Johnson as an actor—bringing humor and charisma to action roles—might not be aware that he started out as a professional wrestler under the name “The Rock.”
Before that, he played college football and was a member of the University of Miami national championship team in 1991. He was able to parlay his fame and success as a wrestler into movie fame; his films have grossed more than 10.5 billion USD globally. All of that adds up to his having a very impressive net worth of 400 million USD.
