WWE superstar John Cena is also another success story, raking in millions after initially starting it all in the wrestling ring. The 46-year-old became prominent like other former wrestlers before him and is one of the top names in the TV and movie industry.
Given his journey, the Doctor of Thuganomics now carries a net worth of $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Considering his busy schedule and endorsements, those figures are expected to escalate moving forward.
Where it all started
Cena entered the WWE scene in early 2000, taking on unusual roles. He started with his trash-talking ways and also showed that he can rap.

That set the stage for Mr. P, who immediately became a fan favorite. His first WWE title was the United States Championship in 2004. However, his first WWE championship came in 2007, defeating John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) at WrestleMania 21.
Cena's run flourished from there. However, the 46-year-old needed to slowly shy away from the WWE when plans to enter the entertainment scene crept in. Like Dwayne Johnson, his schedule slowly racked up - forcing him to make sporadic appearances.
Shifting to Showbiz
Cena's first film was "The Marine" in 2006. Its first week reeled in $7 million, although more money flowed in the coming weeks. It grossed $18.7 million, and DVD versions further padded its revenue generation to $30 million, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
With so much money coming in from acting, endorsements, and wrestling, it is no surprise that John Cena has wisely invested these in different things.
John Cena's endorsements
Being a popular figure, Cena ended up hooking with different brands as an endorser. That list includes Capri Sun, Fruity Pebbles, Gillette, Gold's Gym, and Hefty.
Aside from these, he also endorsed an energy drink called YJ Stinger, Subway, the 58th annual Daytona 500, and Honda.
Cena's real estate investment
Cena owns a property in Land O' Lakes, Tampa, Florida. Measuring about 10,692 square feet, he bought it in 2005 for $525,000. The value of the lot is now reportedly $4 million.
Aside from this, the WWE icon also has a mansion in the Mission Hills area in San Diego. A glimpse of the property was shared by Nikkie and Brie Bella on their YouTube channel.
John Cena's rides
If there is one thing that Cena loves to collect, it would be cars. The 46-year-old reportedly owns over 20 vehicles, ranging from vintage cars to the latest ones in the market.
That list includes a 1969 COPO Chevrolet Camaro, a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, a 2006 Rolls Royce Phantom, and a 2017 Ford GT, among others.
Cena's Philanthropic efforts
With so much wealth, John Cena knows that sharing is caring. He is known to be the person who grants the most wishes in the Make-A-Wish Foundation, having over 650 wishes to his credit, according to NPR.org.
Cena has been involved in other causes, including a $1 million donation he gave to Black Lives Matter as part of the #MatchAMillion campaign.
The t-shirts he wears are part of his drive to back campaigns against bullying and health-related causes.
In general, there is no question that John Cena has come a long way and has not forgotten to give back. Looking ahead, Cena's net worth is likely to jump further - especially at the rate he is doing films and TV shows.
