On his Twitter, Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford Mustang, shared a video message from none other than Dwayne Johnson. Apparently, he revealed that The Rock had just decided to buy a new Ford truck. In the message, Johnson thanked the rugged and sweaty hands that work hard in making luxurious trucks, like the one behind him.

In the message, Johnson also mentions that he bought a Raptor R, which is one of the vintage truck generations in the company’s history and costs $107,000. Shaking hands with the CEO, Johnson also didn’t fail to mention that The Brahma Bull only drives Ford trucks. But Ford trucks aren’t inexpensive and neither is the maintenance costs of these trucks.

With such big donations and purchases, one always wonders how Dwayne Johnson makes all of this money. Compared to his fellow actors, his net worth is way much higher, so what’s the reason behind it?

The Rock has always had a hand in entrepreneurship

Going from having only seven bucks in his pocket to being the main event of many WrestleMania shows, Johnson was always going to be a rich man. But the path of becoming a businessman is a story that Johnson values even more than the money that he makes. Investing in many ideas is the way that The Rock has built an empire around him.

From Teremana Tequila to the Zoa energy drink, there are only a few industries that Johnson has not tried entering. His involvement with the XFL is also another aspect of his business skills to turn rotten apples into golden eggs. His deals with UFC, working on exclusive shoes, also show that he is also moving up the ladder when it comes to partnerships and business deals.
