One of the highest-paid actors in the world, Dwayne Johnson, did not always enjoy his riches. During his early life, he had to struggle a lot and did not belong to the privileged class. Even during his early years as an athlete, he did not witness such high payments.

However, with time, Johnson transformed his career into a dream-like one.
