Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Homes: Here’s Where One of the Highest Paid Actors Ever Owns Property

On four separate occasions in the last decade, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has held the title of the year’s highest paid actor. Just last year, Forbes estimated the star’s net worth at a whopping $800 million. Johnson’s income isn’t coming just from movies and television, however. The very bankable star has also made millions off the big screen with business ventures like his award-winning tequila, Teremana, and his lucrative deal with Under Armour.

The California native, whose family eventually moved to Hawaii only to be evicted from their home when he was 14 years old, has spent a significant amount of money on real estate. The hulking six-foot-five former college football player is an animal lover and has bought and sold farms and ranches filled with a range of animals (especially horses, which seem to be his favorite) in California, Florida, Georgia, and Virginia. Below, we take a look at some of the Rock’s most well-known properties.

Mana Ranch

If mere words aren’t enough to convince anyone how big of an animal lover The Rock is, then his sprawling farm set on the outskirts of Charlottesville, Virginia, should. According to the Washington Post, the former pro-wrestler has owned the property for well over a decade. The estate, which Johnson calls Mana Ranch, is a protected Civil War land, and he’s been giving fans little teasers of the bucolic spread for years through social media. He’s tweeted a picture of him posing with two of his horses and a video of his 1500-pound baby brahma bull. And, instead of settling for a simple fish tank inside of his home, the Moana actor has a giant pond where he raises “aggressive killer” bass on the property. “I feed them like kings with live bait and train them to be extra aggressive killers,” Johnson once posted to Instagram about the fish. In 2019, the Black Adam star added a fully-equipped gym in a barn-like structure to the property and fortified it with an iron door. And while the busy actor uses the estate to “reset,” he allows Olympic equestrian Will Coleman to train thoroughbred horses there.

A manor in an equestrian-centered town

In February of 2012, the XFL co-owner bought a 13,153-square-foot home in exclusive Southwest Ranches, a posh enclave 35 minutes north of Miami that’s popular with celebs like Gisele Bündchen and Rick Ross. The Jumanji actor paid former Miami Dolphins lineman Vernon Carey $3.4 million for the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom digs. Southwest Ranches is known for its exceptional equestrian facilities and regular equestrian events amongst residents, so it’s no surprise that Johnson was attracted to the luxe community. The high-ceiling home featured a 14-seat theater, a wood-paneled library, and a resort-style pool and spa. Johnson reportedly spent $1 million in renovations, including adding a gym and a cottage for his trainer to stay in, before selling the property in 2013.

Hidden Hills mansion

It’s unclear when The Rock bought a 9,120-square-foot mansion in California’s Hidden Hills, but he sold it in 2012 for $4.9 million. The façade of the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom dwelling featured both Mediterranean and neoclassical elements. Inside, a massive foyer with an intricate chandelier greeted guests at the front door. Major highlights included a primary bedroom with a sleek, black fireplace and room enough for lounging; a movie theater; a chef’s kitchen with stainless-steel appliances; and a custom home gym. The home boasted views of the Hollywood Hills, a kitchen equipped with a barbecue grill, and an infinity pool and spa perched on a cliff’s edge.

Palatial European digs

In 2018, when The Rock was filming the Fast and Furious spin-off Hobbs and Shaw across the pond in London, the actor rented a palatial dwelling in the upscale neighborhood of Richmond in South West London. On the three-acre property sat a grand neoclassical dwelling with five living rooms, staff quarters, indoor and outdoor pools, and a tennis court, all beside a lake. There was enough room on the estate for The Rock to set up the fully equipped mobile gym he called Iron Paradise. Johnson also entertained a visitor while there: a horse called Rusty who Russell Crowe rode in Gladiator and Robin Hood.

Ranch in Georgia

The country-life aficionado dropped $9.5 million (reportedly in cash) on another farm in 2019, this time in a pastoral Georgia town called Powder Springs, located 45 minutes outside of Atlanta. The 46-acre horse farm came with a 12-stall barn and riding arena, a 150-year-old farmhouse that was used as a caretaker’s cottage, and a 14,791-square-foot main house. Built in 2002, the eight-bedroom, six-bathroom main house resembled a French country manor and featured a partial stone façade, walnut hardwood floors throughout the interiors, wood beam ceilings, stone fireplaces, and a marble bathroom. The home also included a wood-paneled library with stained glass and a custom wine cellar. Surrounding the manse were a freeform salt-water pool with a cabana and a large pond. The father of three put it up for sale at $7.5 million—$1.5 million less than what he paid—after only about a year of ownership, though it does not seem that the place sold, and it is no longer on the market.

Beverly Hills family home

In 2021, The Rock reportedly shelled out over $27.8 million for the largest estate in North Beverly Park. The 3.67-acre property in the celebrity-packed community (Sofia Vergara and Denzel Washington live there), considered to be one of Hollywood’s most exclusive residential pockets, happens to have a star-studded pedigree. Johnson paid Stranger Things actor Paul Reiser for the Mediterranean-style home which was built in 1993 by drummer Alex Van Halen of legendary rock band Van Halen. Six bedrooms and 12 bathrooms are spread across a main house and a 2,500-square-foot guesthouse, totaling almost 17,630 square feet of living space. The amenities on the estate rival any luxury resort with a full-size tennis court, a baseball diamond, an elevator, movie theater, a music studio built by Van Halen, indoor and outdoor pools, an olive-tree-lined driveway leading to a motor court, and a fully equipped gym (would it be a Dwayne Johnson house if there were no gym?). Johnson, his wife, and children currently use this as their main residence.
