#9 The Rock
Trending
We’re used to seeing The Rock wearing $500 shirts and being the most electrifying man in sports and entertainment, but it hasn’t always been that way for the ‘Great One’.
When he was 15 years old, a young Dwayne Johnson was living with his mother in a small studio apartment in Hawaii. They came home one day to discover an eviction notice on their door as they were unable to pay their $180 a week rent.
The Rock vowed that he would make something of himself so he could provide for his mother, but his first plan did not work out the way he had hoped. After failing to become a professional football player and being cut from his team, Rocky recalls flying home to his father, jobless and with just seven dollars to his name.
It’s fair to say that his career as a professional wrestler worked out fairly well for The Rock and he is now one of the wealthiest entertainers on the planet.
