Celebrity Net Worth have posted that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's worth now sits at a dazzling $220 million.

That's even higher than the $200 million quoted at the turn of the year, and the website are citing Johnson's work on hit movies like Rampage and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, as well as TV shows like HBO's Ballers as main reasons for the rise.

Although The Rock's work as an on-screen star has made him Hollywood's leading man, he also earns a lot of cash from his work as a producer behind the cameras. To put the number Celebrity Net Worth have reported into perspective, WWE told during their financial report card for 2017 that they made $211.6 million in profits last year.

Johnson (one man, don't forget), has become more valuable as a commodity than WWE's entire profit margin for a calendar year all on his own. Smell what The Rock is cooking? It better be something expensive with all that money floating around.
