Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
Garcia, the ex-wife of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is now his part-time neighbor in the horse country of Virginia’s Orange County. Although the couple divorced in 2008 and both are remarried to different partners, Garcia still is the movie star’s global strategic adviser and co-owns Seven Bucks Productions, their film and television production company.
She also started GSTQ, a lifestyle and fashion brand, in 2021, and steers a portfolio of other brands in business, entertainment and food.
In 2023, a corporate entity tied to Garcia acquired Tivoli, a 120-year-old mansion and horse facility on 181 acres in Somerset. It’s next door to Johnson’s property, which he operates as a working horse farm.
Garcia has producer credits on numerous TV and movie projects involving Johnson, including “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” “Ballers” and an upcoming live action version of “Moana.” In March, she became a co-owner of the United Football League, a spring pro football league created from the merger of the XFL — which she and Johnson co-owned — and the United States Football League.
Reared in New Jersey by Cuban immigrant parents, Garcia graduated from the University of Miami’s business school.
