5 Things You Didn't Know About The Rock

#1. He started from Rock Bottom

Rocky Maivia was a tribute to both his father and grandfather.

The Rock was not always the millionaire that he is today. The general public perception is that The Rock must have always had a lot of money because he came from such a popular wrestler family. But it could not be further from the truth.

In fact, at point of time he was broke and struggling to make ends meet. One of his most popular tales is the seven dollars story. After returning home after his failed CFL stint, The Rock had only seven dollars left in his pocket.

It is truly inspirational how he has managed to completely turn his life around and is a self-made millionaire today. But as we all know, The Rock loves his roots and as a result he has named his production company: Seven Bucks Production.
