Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan can be considered as one of the most popular celebrities in recent times. Most of this popularity came after his podcast,’ The Joe Rogan Experience’ got global recognition. The New Jersey native first started off as a commentator in UFC and is currently a huge part of the promotion.

It’s weird for fight fans to not hear Rogan’s voice on a pay-per-view event. Rogan is an expert in his job and his commentary made people interested in wrestling in MMA when it was called boring. UFC president Dana White has revealed that Rogan is much more than a commentator and has done a lot for UFC.

Rogan’s reputation skyrocketed when he started his podcast on YouTube. Rogan asked guests from different fields to come to his show and have a candid conversation about almost anything. It instantly got public attention and was frequently watched. In 2020, popular streaming platform Spotify announced a partnership deal with Rogan and JRE was exclusively streamed on Spotify.

Rogan has obviously earned a lot of money from UFC but that comes nowhere near his revenues from his podcasts. The JRE is currently the biggest podcast in the world with billions of views. Fans are absolutely crazy about it and always wait for the next episode to be released. When Spotify bought the streaming rights of JRE they reportedly paid Rogan $100 million.

Recently in Feb, 2022 Spotify renewed the contract with JRE. According to some reports the platform paid Rogan a whopping 200 million which is double of the previous contract. This new deal with Spotify is a multi year contract. It seems like Spotify knows what the audience needs and how to make it.
