After securing the top spot in the entertainment industry, celebrities try to expand their business empires in order to become more wealthy. Many celebrities like to start their own Tequila brand. You will be surprised to know that a lot of celebrities have hopped on the Tequila bandwagon including Nick Jonas, Rita Ora, Adam Levine, and Kendall Jenner.
Recently, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson openly humiliated fellow actor Geroge Clooney’s tequila brand, Casamigos. The Rock’s tequila brand, Teremana Tequila, reportedly sold a whopping 1 million cases in the last 12 months. The numbers are quite high and put Clooney’s brand to shame.
Dwayne Johnson dissed George Clooney’s tequila brand
Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s tequila brand, Teremana Tequila, has been making big profits for the actor. The Rock recently posted the statistics on his Instagram. He wrote,
“The context below ⬇️ of our @teremana sales & growth 📈 compared to Casamigos is pretty staggering / Thank you all so much – my Mana Ohana- for trusting and enjoying our tequila. / We have so much work ahead of us here in the US + globally as we internationalize our tequila brand.”
Teremana reportedly sold a whopping 1 million cases over the past 12 months. He compared his company’s statistics to Casamigos, a tequila brand founded by George Clooney.
Is George Clooney the owner of Casamigos?
Technically, George Clooney is no longer the owner of Casamigos as the company was sold to Diageo, a beverage company, in 2017 for $1 billion, and around that time, Casamigos only sold 170,000 cases annually when it was sold.
George Clooney founded the Casamigos brand with his friend Rande Gerber and property developer Mike Meldman in 2013. The trio set out on a journey to create a spirit that was smooth and hangover-free. Casamigos only produce tequila from hand-selected Blue Weber Agaves in the Jalisco region making it very special.
What is Dwayne Johnson’s Teremana Tequila’s valuation?
The stats don’t lie. It’s easy to estimate that Dwayne Johnson’s tequila brand is worth a lot of money just by its annual sales. Based on the reports, Johnson’s Tequila brand is worth $3.5 billion, in which Johnson reportedly owns a 30% stake.
Dwayne Johnson’s net worth is estimated to be around $800 million and if he sold his stake like George Clooney did, the actor will easily become a billionaire. Apart from this, he earns a lot of money from his movies, brand endorsements, and real estate investments.
