John Cena has been a household name for years now — and he’s got the net worth to prove it.
After getting his start in the WWE, Cena made the difficult leap to mainstream Hollywood fame.
And after nearly three decades in the public eye, the charismatic star has built up quite an impressive financial portfolio.
What is John Cena’s net worth?
According to the website Celebrity Net Worth, Cena is worth approximately $80 million.
Not bad for a guy who started out as a wrestler during a time when that sector of the entertainment world was not taken seriously by the mainstream.
Of course, for all of his abilities in the ring, Cena’s continued earning power stems mainly from his acting talent on screen.
Like the Rock and Dave Bautista, Cena has achieved what once looked to be impossible:
He made the leap from wrestling stardom to success in Hollywood.
Thanks to roles in action projects like Bumblebee and comedies like Vacation Friends and last year’s Ricky Stanicky, Cena has become one of the film industry’s most in-demand talents.
He continues to pop up in unexpected places, such as when he made a memorable guest appearance on the Emmy-winning FX series The Bear.
What’s more impressive than Cena’s earnings is the fact that he’s developed genuine acting chops.
He might not be as popular a leading man as the Rock, but his comedic skills have made him the kind of character actor whom Hollywood just can’t get enough of.
A vast and varied resume
Cena continues to seek out a wide array of professional experiences.
In addition to his endorsements of everything from Hefty garbage bags to Fruity Pebbles (a sly reference to his in-ring feud with the Rock), he’s active in projects that appeal to wrestling fans and gamers.
WWE founder Vince McMahon memorably referred to Cena as “wrestling’s Babe Ruth,” crediting him as the figure who brought the sport a new level of mainstream visibility.
Cena’s charisma has introduced him to fans who may have previously had zero interest in the world of wrestling.
And his effortless comedic skills have made it clear that he’ll continue to be a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.
At the moment, we don’t know what’s up next for John Cena. But you can be sure that the man who coined the “you can’t see me” catchphrase is not planning to disappear anytime soon.
