Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the world’s highest-paid actor, according to Forbes magazine. In the list that ranks all of the highest-paid celebrities, the 44-year-old actor came in the 19th place with $64.5 million. The list, however, was topped by singer Taylor Swift with $170 million.
The Central Intelligence actor responded to the news with a post on Instagram, saying, “‘The wolf is always scratching at the door’ was the first thing I said when I found out that I was officially the world’s highest-paid actor. Well, actually the first thing I said was ‘Aw shit!’, then I said the wolf part. Receiving news like this will always serve as my anchoring reminder to continue to work even harder. I not only want to embrace the grind, but take the grind to new levels.”
He also shared some invaluable lessons with his followers, he said, “Greatness is never achieved alone. Surround yourself with hungry, brilliant individuals who not only buy into your philosophy, but who are all willing to work just as hard as you. I was evicted at 14 and completely broke by 23. Every day I wake up as if that eviction notice is right around the corner waiting for me.” The Rock has several projects on the horizon such as Baywatch, Jumanji and Doc Savage.
