Almost Broke in His Youth, Top WWE Star’s Unselfish Gesture Will Make Dwayne Johnson Proud: “Most Beautiful Satisfactions in Life”

Dwayne Johnson last appeared in WWE in 2019. When he left his blooming pro-wrestling career in the early 2000s for greener pastures in Hollywood, most of the current WWE roster were either kids or just in their early teens. Yet, Johnson continues to influence many modern-day wrestlers. Recently, a 39-year-old WWE superstar took a leaf out of The Great One’s book to accomplish an achievement.

His accomplishment is likely to make the 51-year-old WWE icon happy, as their stories have a similar trajectory.

LWO member gifts his mother a house

Last month, Dwayne Johnson appeared on The Pivot Podcast and regaled the hosts with stories from his past. During the chat, he spoke about the time his family faced a financial crisis and he said that was his moment of realization when he understood he could not be broke.

We are all familiar with Johnson’s seven-dollar story. Well, not just him, LWO member Santos Escobar too has a similar tale. According to Escobar, he was once left with “1 dollar and five cents”. From being almost broke, the WWE superstar has had quite a turnaround.

Recently, he announced the purchase of a house for his mother on social media. Escobar termed it “one of the most beautiful satisfactions in life”. He said he was “beyond grateful” for the achievement.

Not very long ago, Johnson had a similar story to share. Let’s find out.

From eviction to multiple houses, Dwayne Johnson turns the tables

The Rock is worth $800 million currently. However, he wasn’t always rich. In fact, during his youth, the 51-year-old was left with just seven bucks in his purse. Far worse, he was privy to his family getting evicted due to the failure of rent payments in his childhood. When he earned enough fame in pro wrestling, The People’s Champ made the jump to Hollywood and within a few years, the checks got thicker.

The wrestler-turned-actor made up for his childhood woes by gifting his mother and father their respective houses. In 2016, Johnson gifted his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rocky Johnson, a house. It was a Christmas present from the third-generation WWE superstar.

Ata Johnson, his mother, received houses as gifts in 2018 and 2022. His gifts, however, aren’t limited to real estate. We often see Johnson splurging on various items for his mother and close ones.
