The highest-paid actor in Hollywood, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is ditching his multimillion-dollar equestrian estate on the outskirts of Atlanta and is poised to take a sizeable loss in the deal.
The former wrestler turned actor and tequila tycoon has put his expansive home on the market for $9.7 million (US$7.5 million), a price tag that’s roughly $1.95 million less than the star paid for the place just over a year ago.

A Georgia-based company linked to Johnson’s business managers in Los Angeles purchased the 46-acre property for a little over $11.7 million (US$9 million) in October 2019, according to Page Six.
A French Provincial-style mega-mansion sits at the heart of the sprawling estate, and is loaded with “exquisite” details, according to the listing.
