In early 2016, he teamed up with Under Armour for a global sponsorship, which also allows him to help create a line of footwear and other apparel.


Johnson has been running 7 Bucks Productions with his ex-wife Dany Garcia since 2012. Through it, they've produced "Ballers" and Johnson's upcoming "Baywatch" movie.

He named his production company 7 Bucks for a reason. After flying from Canada to Miami after his football career ended, he emptied his pockets and found just $7.00.

The 44-year-old has a very particular and demanding diet. Sometimes he has massive "carb up" nights.


He especially loves pancakes.


He also famously loves cod.

In 2015, he revealed his diet to Muscle & Fitness and FiveThirtyEight counted it all up and found that Johnson consumes 821 pounds of cod in a year. Given that cod goes for about $1.75 per pound, that means he was spending about $1,400 per year on fish.

To stay in tip top shape, Johnson works with several personal trainers. One of them is Aaron Williamson, who has also worked with J.K. Simmons and Jai Courtney. His programs range from $100-$250 per month.

He can almost always be spotted in the gym, even on a rare day off.


When he's not in the gym, the man loves to wear a suit. He's got a wide collection that comes in an array of colors. In January, he wore a crushed-velvet suit to the Golden Globes.

Johnson is almost always on the go and working. During his travels he stays in luxury, like in this posh place on Central Park West in New York City while doing press for "Central Intelligence."


He gets from place to place in a fancy Gulfstream G650. He can often be seen bringing his family along for rides. It's unclear whether Johnson owns or rents it, but one of these planes can cost up to $65 million.

He calls it "the fastest private jet in the world." 

As a kid, Johnson always dreamed of owning a Rolex. The first one he ever bought, while still a wrestler, cost $35,000.

With high-profile movies on the horizon like the big screen adaptation of "Baywatch," Disney's animated "Moana," another "Fast and Furious" movie, and a "Jumanji" sequel, it looks like The Rock will have plenty of more spending money for years to come.
