WWE Superstar and Hollywood actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has broken into the Top 25 of Forbes Most Powerful Celebrities list. His Forbes.com profile mentions Dwayne as a "former wrestler" but cites that his wealth comes his film-making career, including 2013 hits Fast & Furious 6 and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
The Rock beats out several high profile names on the list, including Tom Cruise and Pain & Gain co-star Mark Wahlberg, Will Smith and WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump. The list of stars beating out Johnson is even more exclusive, including Marvel and Sherlock Holmes star Robert Downey, Jr., tennis icon Roger Federer and of course, Oprah Winfrey.
Started my career wrestling in flea markets for $40 bucks a night (fun;). To #25 on @Forbes Top 100. #EmbraceTheGrind http://t.co/vrc20DNXCt
