The actor, businessman, and former wrestler paid $3.48 million for a house in Encino, California, for his mom, Ata. He is thought to be worth about $270 million.He has bought three homes for her over the years, two in Florida and now this one. Johnson, though, said that this one was different.Johnson, 50, wrote on Instagram, “When I was a little boy, I hated it when my mom would cry. These days, I’ll gladly take her tears of joy.” “I bought my mom a new house as a surprise.” It took my design team and I eight weeks to finish. When she walked through her front door for the first time, everything she saw was brand new and a surprise.
“Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to buy her a few homes. This one is special, though, because she’s told me over and over that she wants this to be her last home after a lifetime of traveling.” “That’s my dream,” he said. “Mom, there’s nothing better than making you happy. Welcome home.”

The Post got records that show Johnson bought the Cape Cod-style home with six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms in September. But his mom didn’t move in until not long ago.
The gated home is more than 4,400 square feet and has high-end features like a great room with French doors, a chef’s kitchen with navy cabinets, a handmade tile backsplash, and Carrera marble countertops, and a living room with a fireplace and white vaulted ceilings.
There is also a breakfast nook in the kitchen.
The main suite has a spa bathroom with two sinks and a freestanding tub, as well as direct entry to the outdoor area.
The hedge-enclosed backyard has a large lawn with several lounge areas, a built-in barbecue, citrus trees, a game area, a pool and spa, and has been called a “bona fide Los Angeles sanctuary.”
Johnson put up three videos of his mom seeing the house for the first time.
Ata, 73, can be seen walking up to the house in one video that is set to the famous song of “Over the Rainbow” by the late Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo’ole.
A sign that says “Le Samoana” hangs above the door as a nod to his mom’s Samoan roots.
In two more videos, Johnson showed people around the inside and talked about important parts of the decor.
Johnson called one room the “Smackdown Room,” and it has rock and DJ items from over the years.
In another room, her collection of old ukuleles is displayed on the wall. Johnson wrote about the photos that could also be seen in the place, “I was able to find pictures of our ancestors that she hasn’t seen since she was a child growing up in Samoa.”
