Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Is Expected To Become A Billionaire From His Tequila Brand Valued At Around $3.5 Billion

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could be the next billionaire in the alcohol industry, largely because of the success of his Teremana Tequila brand, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Launched in March 2020, Teremana has experienced rapid growth, selling 300,000 cases in its first year. It’s on track to sell 600,000 cases annually.

The potential value of Teremana Tequila is significant when compared to George Clooney’s tequila brand, which sold for $1 billion with a run rate of 170,000 cases per year. Using this comparison, Teremana could be valued at approximately $3.5 billion. 

The Rock’s ownership stake in Teremana is not publicly known. With several partners, including co-founders and a collaboration with the Lopez family of Jalisco, Mexico, for production and Jägermeister’s parent company for global distribution, The Rock’s share is unclear.

Assuming The Rock holds a 30% equity stake and the brand’s value is indeed $3.5 billion, his stake could be worth around $1.05 billion. This amount would surpass the earnings from alcohol brands owned by Sammy Hagar, Conor McGregor, and George Clooney combined. It would also exceed The Rock’s earnings from his film and endorsement career. It’s important to note that these figures are speculative and not based on confirmed sales or official valuations.

The Rock’s massive social media following, including 568 million followers across Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok and YouTube, adds considerable value to his brand. This following could make Teremana an attractive acquisition for major companies in the beverage industry.
