After experiencing homelessness in his youth, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has built an impressive real estate portfolio, cementing his status as one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors and a savvy property investor.
With a net worth reportedly over $800 million, Johnson owns and has rented several high-value properties across the United States and abroad, each reflecting his unique blend of luxury, practicality, and interest in historicity.
Virginia Horse Farm
One of the “Black Adam” actor’s favorite properties is Mana Ranch, a 37-acre Virginia horse farm situated in the Charlottesville suburb of Gordonsville. His social media posts show the property — which he bought in 2016 — is home to two horses, a bull, a custom-built gym, and a giant pond that he loves to go fishing on.
Florida Was Once Home for The Rock
In Florida, Johnson owned a mansion in the equestrian-friendly Southwest Ranches community. Purchased in 2012 for $3.45 million from former Miami Dolphins player Vernon Carey, the 13,153-square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion boasts five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and resort-like amenities, including a pool, spa, and a dedicated cottage for his trainer. The muscle-mighty star sold the property in 2013 but left his mark by upgrading it with a gym to fit his fitness regimen.
California Called The Rock
“The Mummy” lead’s real estate ventures extended to California, where he previously owned a Hidden Hills mansion, an exclusive area favored by high-net-worth individuals for its security and scenic views. The 9,120-square-foot residence featured six bedrooms, a movie theater, and a gym, providing a luxurious residence close to Los Angeles’s entertainment hubs.
He sold this property in 2012 for $4.9 million, further illustrating his calculated property investments in prime locations.
Atlanta Manor
In 2019, Johnson expanded his portfolio with a 46-acre horse farm in the Atlanta suburb of Powder Springs, Georgia. Purchased for $9.5 million, the property includes an eight-bedroom, French Country-style manor with a 12-stall barn, a riding arena, and a saltwater pool. Spanning 14,791 square feet, the home features high-end finishes such as walnut hardwood floors and wood-beamed ceilings. Although Johnson sold the farm a year later, this acquisition highlighted his affinity for expansive, nature-rich estates.
More Homes, Homes, Homes
One of Johnson’s most recent high-profile purchases is a $27.8 million mansion in the exclusive Beverly Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Known for its privacy and celebrity residents (like Denzel and Pauletta Washington), the community is a top-tier real estate market, with properties rarely available for public listing.
This 3.67-acre estate, once owned by musician Alex Van Halen, includes a 17,630-square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion with six bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, a music studio, and a gym. The estate also has a baseball diamond and a pool, aligning well with Johnson’s family-oriented lifestyle.
In addition to personal properties, Johnson bought a Cape Cod-style home in Encino, California, for $3.48 million, for his mother. This 4,400-square-foot home includes six bedrooms, a pool, and various lounge areas, designed with both traditional and modern elements. The property represents Johnson’s dedication to family, a recurring theme in his investments, according to Architectural Digest.
On the rental front, the “Jumanji” actor’s has taken advantage of luxurious properties while working on major film projects.
According to Rethinking the Future, he rented an expansive waterfront property on Australia’s Gold Coast while filming “San Andreas,” a Balinese-inspired home with six bedrooms and multiple pools, capturing the region’s tropical essence.
In Hawaii, he leases for his vacation a $24.95 million Kailua estate during his time on the island, featuring an 8,400-square-foot villa, a guesthouse, and direct beach access, blending comfort with Hawaii’s natural beauty, Realtor reports.
As a result of leasing the property in the state that he and his family grew up in when he was young, he has attempted to make an impact with Oprah Winfrey creating the “People’s Fund of Maui” relief fund for people affected by the devastating wildfires of 2023. However, he and his media maven pal received backlash after people questioned why it was a crowdfunding source and why the pair did not donate more than the $10 million they initially donated.
With properties in Virginia, Georgia, Florida, California, and a history of elite rentals worldwide, Dwayne Johnson has curated a real estate portfolio that reflects both his personal values and his business acumen. Each acquisition or rental has provided not only luxury but also a strategic investment in highly desirable locations, showcasing Johnson’s sophisticated approach to real estate.
