Let’s take a loot at the money that he raked in from his last few releases. His latest release, Jumanji: The Next Level earned him a paycheck of $23.5 million. In addition, Forbes reports that a backend deal entitles him to 15 percent of the profit pool.
That amounts to a skyrocketing figure considering that the film had a worldwide collection of $962.1 million!
Before that, Dwayne earned $20 million from Fast and Furious Presents: Hobb and Shaw.
He had a rare debacle with Baywatch. Apart from the film being a box office flop, Dwayne himself earned a meager $9 million from his acting stint in the movie. However, he also executively produced the movie which figured into his overall figure.
The upcoming projects of Johnson are also going to be big paydays for him.
His upcoming Netflix heist thriller Red Notice will earn him another $22 million. In addition, TMZ reports that his project Jungle Cruise alongside Emily Brunt will earn him another $22 million.
Diversifying movie incomes
His movie incomes are not restricted to a standard pay check now. For instance, his $22 million deal for Red Notice includes $21 million as base pay and the additional $1 million for his social media outreach.
