Johnny Depp's net worth comes in in the form of "cash break" negotiations where he gets a % of the profits of all the films he does. He could buy and sell the Rock many times over.

  The Rock when he was a getbigger.

His wrestling persona is one of my favourites.

For anyone that believes just 'anybody' can act, I urge you to go watch Knock Knock with Keano Reeves. Hands down the most horrendous acting I have ever witnessed.

If you don't fancy wasting your life watching, check out YouTube for knock knock worst acting. *shudders*


Guess you haven't seen Tommy Wiseau in "The Room" then Waller?

should be clarified that he PROBABLY makes the most money and ONLY for this past year, NOT that he's the highest paid actor.. he makes big dough, because he works so much doing anything and everything he can.. good or bad, no difference..not because he makes 1 movie a year and salary only, NOT because of how much he makes TOTALLY... guys like depp, smith, downey make bigger bucks and TRUE superstars who've been around forever, like for example tom cruise make HUGE bucks because they take a gross of the profits as well as a salary... cruise routinely can and does over the years make 50 million or more for his blockbusters when it's all said and done..

he johnson that is STILL can NOT carry a movie by himself that is NOT franchise or NOT action.. he's hot right now, but 5, 10, 15 years from now? he'll be long replaced....

as it is, he's certainly NOT the MOST  or even among the most FAMOUS actors in the world, there are parts of this world where people wouldn't know him if he walked down the street and/or if they were told the name "dwayne johnson"...

this claim is akin to the world's most beautiful people cover person every year by people mag.. p.r. and agents working big time overtime to get paid by their client...

readers have to "read between the lines" with such claims....

I watched a documetary on him yesturday, I expected to see the rags to riches and come from nothing shit but from what i saw i never got the opinion things were tough for him. He was at all the wrestling matches as a kid watching his old man wrestle, then he went on to play football and decided wrestling his passion. So he told his dad and he said he'd train him. Then he called up Pat patterson for a meet and he was so impressed with him he called up vince and told him he's got potential. So Vince contacted him and the rest is history, family connections gave him easy stepping stones.

The Rock is kinda annoying now.  All I ever see is him trying to show how hard he works out.  Or him buying someone a gift and trying to get a standing ovation for it. Do nice shit and keep it to yourself.  All this bragging, so lame.

How can he be making more than Pacino, Deniro, Day Lewis, Hanks, and other A-list stars,  etc.

There is no way. He sucks as an actor.  :-\ :-\ :-\

You have to think it's his popularity, though.

The thing is with the rock he or his agent has been clever enough to shoe horn him into big franchises like the fast and furious. His solo movies don't do that well like snitch, Hercules,  san andreas etc but he adds something to the ensemble films or as a co-lead. Not like back in the day when people would turn out to see a movie led by arnold, sly, cruise, Willis etc. It's a different ball game today, as an individual star, a solo draw he's not in any of the guys league I mentioned.

Actually San Andreas made almost $500 mil and they are making a part 2. Anyone watching Ballers, it's pretty good.

The Rock should be "rocking" The Room II - a remake is in order.

Must have been early figures I saw then, really doesn't need a sequel though.

They should re-boot Conan with The Rock, by Crom!

Thundarr The Barbarian would also amuse.

The rock might be highly paid, but Marcel "the cock" Bergsma is also highly paid from acting in some underground Dutch cinéma vérité movies.
