One of the most heartwarming moments in Tamina’s life came in 2022 when The Rock gifted her a fully furnished house, a generous gesture that gained significant attention. This sparked a broader discussion about wrestler salaries, especially regarding female performers, and the financial struggles that many of them face despite their fame and hard work. While some questioned why The Rock would buy a house for someone who is already established in the industry, many praised his thoughtful gesture of sharing his wealth with his family.
