Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, is one of the world’s highest-grossing and highest-paid actors.
Apparently, his movies have grossed over $10.5 billion, earning the actor $800 million in the process.
Thanks to his wealth, The Rock enjoys a lavish lifestyle and isn’t afraid to splash the cash, especially when it comes adding to his $10 million car collection.

But Dwayne Johnson is incredibly gifting, too, having previously bought a brand new apartment for a UFC fighter sleeping on a couch, and giving away his $30,000 truck to a guy who took him in when he was homeless.
Who could blame him for treating himself to a Gulfstream G650 private jet?
Dwayne Johnson is a busy man, jetting all over the world for his movie shoots and other professional commitments.
Hence the need for a private jet – and the G650 jet fits the bill perfectly.
The Rock joins the likes of Jeff Bezos, Robert Kraft, Elon Musk and Cristiano Ronaldo to own this aircraft.
In a 2014 Twitter post, Dwayne Johnson posed alongside the jet and called it the fastest in the world, however, the plane has since lost that status.

It may no longer be the fastest in the world, but it’s still fast nevertheless.
The G650 comes with two Rolls-Royce BR725 engines, and it flies at a maximum speed of mach 0.925 (1,142 km/h), having a long range cruise of Mach 0.85 (904 km/h).
Inside, it offers a lot of luxury, including up to four living areas, where you can work, dine, relax, and enjoy.
Advertised as one of the quietest planes in the industry, you can sit back and relax in handcrafted, beige leather seats, which are all positioned next to one of the 16 panoramic windows.
There are single seats available, and the divan converts to beds for more comfort.
What’s more, it can comfortably seat 19 passengers and offers q0 places to sleep, depending on the configuration of the plane.
However, the private jet doesn’t come cheap – not that that’s a problem for mega-rich Dwayne Johnson.
The Gulfstream G650 could’ve cost The Rock anywhere from $39 million (for a used one) to $65 million (brand new).
