Dwayne The Rock Johnson is leveling up in more ways than oneand this time, its not just in the wrestling ring.
Since joining the TKO Holdings Board of Directors back in January 2024, his deal with the company has exploded in value, with his stock grants now reportedly reaching a massive $62 million.
Initially, Johnsons contract was structured with stock valued around $30 million. But thanks to a major rise in TKOs stock price, largely fueled by investor optimism surrounding a major upcoming UFC media rights deal, the value of his shares has more than doubled.
That $62 million figure doesnt even account for Johnsons additional income from television appearances, last years WrestleMania performance, or merchandise salesthis is strictly stock-based compensation tied to his board membership and public-facing role.
Johnsons spot on the Board of Directors isnt just ceremonial either. It gives him real power behind the scenes, and hes made that influence known both in business dealings and on WWE television as The Final Boss. His return to WWE storylines this past year proved he still knows how to grab the spotlight, but its clear his long-term play involves much more than in-ring moments.
The Rock has always talked about ownership, value, and building legacies. Now hes doing exactly thatboth in the boardroom and through WWE and UFCs shared parent company, TKO.
