Movie star Dwayne Johnson, also known as "The Rock," is among the highest-paid actors. This is evidenced by the number of times he has topped Forbes' Rich List.

Two years ago, he earned an estimated £63m from his Netflix movie, "Red Notice," and his Under Armor Fitness clothing line, "Project Rock."

However, one thing is known about him; his inability to keep his wealth to himself. The actor has launched several charitable and philanthropic movements over the years. Even recently, he surprised disabled students with a heartfelt video as part of the P.A.C.T.S program.

In his video clip, Johnson gave a shout-out to all student organizations, including the National Honor Society.

"I also want to take a moment to shout out to all the incredible student peers, the volunteers from the student council and the National Honor Society."

He added, "And why the National Honor Society is so appropriate right now is because I, yours truly, was once never part of the National Honor Society. Because you guys are way smarter than I am."
