“Dude has more money than Dana White now” – Joe Rogan’s new STUNNING $250,000,000 Spotify deal has fans going crazy

The multi-faceted Joe Rogan had a variety of income streams and hobbies. Famously, he commentated for the UFC and also pursued a stand-up career. However, he made the majority of his money through his controversial podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Now, he has inked a new multiyear deal with the streaming platform Spotify, estimated to be around $250 million. As such, Rogan furthered his accumulation of net worth and enjoyed the fruits of his hard work.

Spotify’s new deal with Joe Rogan is non-exclusive, meaning his podcast remains available to stream on other platforms. Earlier, JRE streamed exclusively on Spotify. This would vastly increase the show’s popularity compared to its already huge audience. Huge distribution meant more money. As such, fans were excited about Rogan making a large amount. One fan even wrote that he had surpassed the revenue of UFC CEO Dana White. That fan hilariously commented: “This dude has more money than Dana White now.”

Joe Rogan’s deal with Spotify reiterated the strategy the streaming platform devised in 2023. It was to give up exclusive rights for a broader distribution. As such, under the new pact, Spotify would handle the distribution and ad sales while Rogan would get a guaranteed fee and a share of the advertising sales.

The JRE has a diverse guest list, from MMA stars to scientists to entrepreneurs. As such, the podcast became one of the most listened-to podcasts on Spotify. However, most of the viewership came from controversial topics discussed on the podcast. Even recently, Rogan ranted about the ‘political left,’ stirring controversy.
