Who in Hollywood Wears Rolex – and What Do Their Watches Reveal About Them?

The brand’s signature crown has gleamed on the wrists of movie icons, capturing not just time but moments of triumph, transformation, and timeless style. The world’s top-paid actors of 2025, according to Forbes, are no exception. Their watches tell stories-of first successes, personal taste, and the quiet confidence that comes with wearing one of the finest Swiss watches ever made.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stands at the top of the Forbes list with an astounding $88 million in earnings-and his watch collection is as powerful as his on-screen presence. Once a wrestling legend, Johnson’s first taste of luxury came with a Rolex, a symbol of his rising success in the wrestling world. That very watch, however, met an unfortunate end in the ring-a casualty of his early career. Today, his collection reflects how far he’s come: a yellow gold Yacht-Master 40 ref. 16628 for when he’s feeling bold, a GMT-Master II “Root Beer” ref. 126711CHNR for everyday flair, and a diamond-set rose gold Daytona ref. 126595TBR for red-carpet moments. Johnson’s choices mirror his persona-luxurious, muscular, and effortlessly confident.

Ryan Reynolds, ever the charming leading man, ranks just below with $85 million. He’s known for his quick wit and modern sensibilities, traits that also show up in his refined taste in watches. Reynolds has long favored the Omega Speedmaster, a nod to his appreciation for precision and history. Yet even he couldn’t resist Rolex’s magnetic charm. Recently, he was seen wearing an Oyster Perpetual ref. 124300 with the “Celebration” dial-playful bubbles of color that capture Reynolds’s mix of humor and sophistication. It’s a reminder that even the most brand-loyal collector finds room for Rolex in their story.

Kevin Hart, known for his comedy and unstoppable energy, is also one of Hollywood’s most passionate watch collectors. Ranking third on Forbes, he owns an extraordinary range of watches that rival those of seasoned collectors. His Rolex lineup alone reads like a dream catalog: the white-dial Daytona ref. 116500LN, rare vintage and platinum Day-Date models with ice-blue dials, and even the dazzling Rainbow Daytona ref. 116598RBOW. Hart’s collection isn’t just about wealth-it’s about the thrill of craftsmanship and the joy of collecting pieces that reflect his personality, one sparkling dial at a time.

Jerry Seinfeld, with his sharp humor and $60 million in 2025 earnings, has long been a quiet force in the world of watch collecting. Famous for his affection for Breitling chronographs, Seinfeld also owns one of the most historically significant Rolex Daytonas ever made-the ref. 6239 once awarded to racing legend Vic Elford after his victory in the 1968 24 Hours of Daytona. True to form, Seinfeld didn’t stop there; he also purchased Elford’s winning Porsche 907 Longtail. For Seinfeld, collecting watches isn’t just about luxury-it’s about preserving stories of triumph and legacy.

Hugh Jackman, the Australian actor who earned $50 million in 2025, takes a more understated approach. His watch choices reflect a taste for refinement without flash-Montblanc, Harry Winston, and Girard-Perregaux often grace his wrist. Though not a Rolex devotee, his connection to the brand is indirect yet fitting: Jackman co-owns the Australian SailGP team Bonds Flying Roos with Ryan Reynolds, and one of their main sponsors happens to be Rolex. Even without a crown on his wrist, the brand’s influence sails alongside him.

Brad Pitt, with nearly $32 million in earnings, continues to embody cool, timeless style. Once a Breitling ambassador, Pitt’s watch box today includes pieces from Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, and Patek Philippe. Yet Rolex still plays a starring role. He has been spotted wearing a Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 116718LN and a highly coveted “Zenith” Daytona ref. 16520, both understated choices that perfectly complement his laid-back elegance. Pitt wears watches not to impress-but to express a quiet appreciation for artistry and endurance.

George Clooney, tied at $31 million, represents another kind of loyalty. The 64-year-old actor has been synonymous with Omega for years and rarely strays from the brand. Whether it’s a classic Speedmaster or a sleek Seamaster Aqua Terra, Clooney wears each piece with the same effortless grace he brings to the screen. Rolex may not feature in his collection, but his devotion to mechanical mastery is unmistakable.

Nicole Kidman, sharing Clooney’s spot and distinction as the only woman among Forbes’ top earners, reflects similar brand fidelity. As an Omega ambassador, she frequently wears the Ladymatic, De Ville Trésor, and Constellation collections-icons of feminine sophistication. Before her partnership with Omega, Kidman occasionally experimented with Panerai and even Rolex, proving her appreciation for bold, character-driven design. Her evolving collection tells a story of transformation and independence, much like her acting career.

Adam Sandler, meanwhile, brings an everyman’s sensibility to Hollywood’s watch culture. Ranked ninth, Sandler isn’t known for flashy accessories; he’s often seen wearing a sturdy Casio G-Shock. But in Uncut Gems, where he played a jeweler in New York’s Diamond District, Rolex took center stage. The film featured a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date with a red dial and diamond-studded bezel, along with a Daytona ref. 116520. It was a cinematic reminder that even if Sandler doesn’t wear Rolex off-screen, he understands its power as a symbol of desire and excess.

Will Smith-forever “The Fresh Prince,” now a veteran actor-continues to shine with a collection as diverse as his filmography. A Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. 326135 in Everose gold and a stainless steel Submariner often grace his wrist. Smith also embraces variety, wearing a Tudor Heritage Black Bay “Midnight Blue,” a nod to Rolex’s sportier sibling. His collection extends to a Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, and vintage Universal Genève Polerouter, reflecting a deep appreciation for both history and innovation.
