Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson boasts an impressive net worth of $800 million, with a substantial portion attributed to his 30-40% ownership stake in Teremana Tequila. Valued at an estimated $2 billion, this tequila brand has the potential to make The Rock a billionaire, surpassing his earnings from his extensive entertainment career.
