The Rock does everything big — and that includes his paydays.

Dwayne Johnson, as he's known on his financial reports, was the highest paid actor on the Forbes list of celebrity earners for 2018, and although he slipped down to number 15 on the 2019 list, he's still the highest-paid actor in the world. He came in behind the likes of Taylor Swift and Lionel Messi.

In 2018, The Rock earned an income of $124 million.

Forbes declared that Johnson's $124 million 2018 income from his movies and Ballers HBO series was the largest ever recorded for acting in the 20 years the publication has tracked celebrity earnings.

Unsurprisingly, Johnson took to Instagram to commemorate the news, echoing his typical refrain of thankfulness for his success and his commitment to hard work.

The Rock's social media presence is reportedly one of the key reasons he makes so much money for his blockbuster films, which can net him up to $25 million per role. He tacks on an extra "seven-figure social media fee" to each of his movie contracts, according to Forbes, which means that all of his tweets and Instagram videos aren't just a way to keep fans in the loop — they're an extra stream of income.

That $124 million is a huge sum, but that's just the 2018 contribution to Johnson's massive fortune.

In 2019, The Rock earned $89.4M.

Johnson got massive paydays from films like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Hobbs and Shaw, and he also gets paid from the backend.

Johnson will also star in the upcoming fifth season of Ballers, and he was the host for NBC's Titan Games.

The Rock's total net worth is an estimated $220 million.

His net worth, built up over a nearly 25-year career of wrestling and acting, is larger, estimated to total $280 million, according to TheRichest.com. Forbes, meanwhile, estimates his net worth to be "closer to $165 million."

Whatever the actual number, it's still, like the man himself exceedingly large. With a packed film schedule with movies like Jumanji 2 and even more collaborations with brands like Under Armour, that total will only get bigger. Johnson also recently announced that he purchased a stake in Voss Water, making him part owner of the brand.

Not bad for a guy who started with just seven bucks to his name.
