Rock stans are up there as far as most delusional fanbases of all time. Article could have said $75 million and they'd be talking about merch sales. Putting Pac stans to shame.
This man heard a wrestler sit down and talk numbers and believed him
Aside from random payslips and anecdotes - this is the only real concrete information on grand scale we have for what people were making at any period of time
Go look at what Hulk/Savage/Nash/Bret/Goldberg were making and figure the top WWF guys were making less, because we know WCW deals > WWF from the same era.
For context - if The Rock made $15m a year in 2000, he'd have made just about as much as Shaq did on the Lakers that year at $17m, and would have been one of the 15 highest earning athlwtes in the world in any sport.
This guy would have then stopped doing that to make considerably less money doing movies for ten years until Fast exploded
I believe him. Rock could say he made 75M and the way his merch was selling it wouldn’t be crazy
