Dwayne Johnson is the highest paid actor of all time

The Forbes ranking of the highest-paid celebrities of the year was released Tuesday, and
Dwayne Johnson has been the highest paying actor in the last twenty years. With $ 124 million in revenue in 2018, the undisputed star of the action movie simply doubled the $ 65 million he had won in 2017 and climbed from 22nd to 5th place in a year.

Technically, he is not the best-paid actor on Forbes' list, since George Clooney precedes him in second place with $ 239 million in revenue between June 2017 and June 2018.
But, as Forbes says, Clooney rose to this position primarily through the $ 700 million sale of the Tequilla company he co-founded with Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman … and not thanks to his stamps actors like The Rock.

Dwayne Johnson praised his feat on Instagram on Tuesday. "I work extremely hard but I never anticipated (even in my wildest dreams) that I would become the highest paying actor in Forbes' history," he said.

Always Get My Audience First

"I did not graduate from Harvard, but my business philosophy and insight has been sharpened over time and through failures," continued Dwayne Johnson. My goal, when I hit the flea market for 40 dollars a game (long before the spotlight of the @wwe) is still the same as today – ALWAYS get my PUBLIC FIRST.

An unexpected success for the one who ended up with just $ 7 in his pocket after being ejected from the Canadian football league in 1995. To remember where he came from, Dwayne Johnson rightly named his company production $ 7 Bucks Productions.
