The world of fitness [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fitness/] and entertainment are closely connected, both often intermingle and are not separate from each other. While the singers and rappers spend hours and hours performing on stage, their fitness becomes a chief element of the test. Unless one is quite fluid with thorough fitness, they wouldn’t be able to pull off a smooth performance at their own concerts. The 36-year-old Rap master, Wiz Khalifa, is primarily known for his music. The avid skateboarder, who extensively practices his skills in his free time, had been trending. However, after his injury from skating, his lifestyle has changed slightly. WIZ KHALIFA AND HIS NEW SPORTS INDULGENCE In a video by Men’s Health, Wiz Khalifa talks about the various other sports he has been opting for after years of extensive Skateboarding. After he got an injury from it, he did not entirely give up. Instead, like Joe Rogan, he explored the world of Martial Arts. He deliberately talks about how the old sport is not serving him much anymore, and this new venture feels more effective for him. He pronounced, “My main thing is Mixed Martial Arts, you know.” Furthermore, he lists down all the MMA branches that interest him to no end. According to him, it ranges a lot. He noted down, “Wrestling, Jiu Jutsu, Taekwondo, Muay Thai”. Moreover, he mentioned, “Those are the sports that I’m into now”.

WIZ KHALIFA’S SKATEBOARD JOURNEY In the video, Khalifa shared various aspects of his career and its journey. When he is asked, “What’s the most challenging move you still want to master on your skateboard?” Wiz gave an unexpected reply. He stated that he is done challenging himself as he is already 36. Now he just plans to master his moves. He uttered, “I don’t have any business you know, flipping it, twirling it, hitting it”.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>

Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan: Net Worth 2024, JRE Podcast, Wife, and Spotify Deal</b></h2>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Joe Rogan?</b></h2>
We know Joe Rogan as a man with many talents - <em>"stand up comic, mixed martial arts fanatic, psychedelic adventurer, host of the joe rogan experience podcast." </em>The 56-year-old initially rose to fame as a stand-up comedian, with a comedy career spanning over two decades.  A staple for American television, Rogan has done it all, from hosting popular TV shows to becoming the voice of UFC, and now hosts a million-dollar podcast.

His passion for MMA sprung from practicing the sport since he was 13 years old, and by age 19, he secured the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship. Now he retains significant power in the sport's biggest promotion and has been an integral part of UFC fights, be it in the arena or through The JRE: Fight Companion, outside. So here's a detailed peek at the color commentator's life and achievements.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's</b> e<b>arly life</b></h2>
Joe Rogan was born and brought up in Newark, New Jersey. He was raised in a family with Irish and Italian roots and went to Newton South High School in Massachusetts. He did not pursue higher education and dropped out of the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

The MMA analyst got his start in martial arts as a way to gain self-confidence and learn how to defend himself. Joe Rogan began karate at the age of 14, then taekwondo a year later. He won the lightweight division of the US Open Taekwondo Championship when he was 19 years old, and he later won the full-contact state title in Massachusetts and went on to attain the Grand championship, beating both the middle and heavyweight title holders.

Over the years, Joe Rogan has learned several martial arts, including Taekwondo, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu, and practices yoga and lifts weights to complement his training. He is a black belt under Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, a style of no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and a black belt in gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Jean Jacques Machado.

Rogan's mother is Susan Lembo. His father, Joseph Rogan, was a police officer in Newark and also an amateur boxer. However, his parents divorced when he was young, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-joe-rogan-once-made-an-outrageous-confession-about-his-parents-when-their-mother-is-experiencing-violence-from-the-father/" target="_self" rel="noopener">and his father left the family</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's wife and kids</b></h2>
Joe Rogan's wife <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-what-does-joe-rogans-wife-jessica-ditzel-do-for-a-living-is-she-the-producer-of-the-simpsons-jessica-schimmel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jessica Ditzel is a multi-talented individual</a>. In 2010, she worked as a model for M Model Management before transitioning to Rent-A-Car as an assistant manager. She has had positions as an account executive for California-based Robert Half Technology and a product analyst for Volvo Motorsports.

</div>
Joe Rogan and Ditzel met in 2001 at a bar in Los Angeles where Ditzel was working as a cocktail waitress. Rogan became a regular customer, frequently visiting the bar until they started seeing each other shortly after. The couple dated for eight years before getting married in 2009.

The couple has three daughters, Kayja Rose Connor, Lola Rogan, and Rosy Rogan. <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-is-joe-rogans-wife-jessica-ditzels-firstborn-the-daughter-of-famous-singer-dino/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joe Rogan is also the step-father to Ditzel's firstborn daughter</a>, Kayja Rose Connor, whom he legally adopted in 2009 from her former relationship with the late singer Keven 'Dino' Conner.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan net worth 2024</b></h2>
Over the years, Joe Rogan has tried his hand in various fields, which has led him to become a fan-favorite UFC commentator. He secured a multi-million deal with Spotify for his podcast, and as of January 2024, he holds a net worth of about $200 million.

Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience has become one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with millions of listeners and subscribers.

His connection with the UFC dates back to 1997 when he did his first 12 events for free. But over 25 years later, he continues to commentate for the promotion and is paid well for it. It is estimated that he earns around $50,000 per event.

</figcaption></figure>
His comedy career also bloomed over the years. Prior to the pandemic, Joe Rogan performed at approximately 4 venues per month, with an average theater capacity of 15,000 seats and an average ticket price of $60. With an estimated capacity of 80%, the calculation would show 4 venues x 15,000 seats x $60/ticket x 80% capacity x 50% cut x 12 months = $17.3 million per year. Additionally, he has released 6 comedy specials, some of which can be found on Netflix, and is estimated to have earned approximately $5 million for his Netflix special.

Joe Rogan is a co-owner of the health and wellness company 'Onnit', which provides supplements, food, and unique fitness equipment. In 2017, Onnit generated around $28 million in annual revenue, and today it is estimated to be close to $50 million per year.

Rogan receives income from multiple sources through his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'. He is paid by Spotify, podcast sponsors, and YouTube. The podcast is estimated to have around 200 million downloads per month, which calculates to 200 million downloads per year / 1000 CPM x $20 x 12 months = $48 million per year from podcast sponsors. He is estimated to have 130 million views on YouTube, and with YouTube's CPM, 130 million views per month / 1000 RPM x $4 = $520,000 per month from YouTube Adsense.

Hence, the UFC commentator has an estimated yearly revenue of $110,520,000 from various sources such as UFC commentating ($2 million), comedy shows ($23 million), Onnit ($2 million), Spotify ($30 million), podcast sponsors ($48 million), and YouTube Adsense ($6.2 million).

And with the renewal of his podcast deal with Spotify for a whopping $250 million, it looks like the numbers are going to change for good. He further no longer has the exclusivity clause, which gives him access to other platforms such as YouTube, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts, meaning he would be generating more revenue from them.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's professional career and highlights</b></h2>
Joe Rogan has had a multifaceted career in entertainment, starting with his acting career in the 1990s. He played Frank Valente in 'Hardball' in 1994 and later Joe Garrelli in 'NewsRadio' from 1995 to 1999. He also had guest appearances on several TV shows such as 'Good Morning Miami', 'Just Shoot Me' and 'Silicon Valley'.

Besides acting, Rogan began his stand-up career in 1988 at the Boston-area Stitches comic club and went on to make a name for himself in the comedy world. He appeared on TV shows such as 'Fear Factor', 'The Man Show', 'MADtv', and 'Game Show in My Head'- an American reality talent show.

Rogan's commentary career in the UFC began in 1997 and he has since become a well-known interviewer and color commentator for the sport. He hosted 'Fear Factor' in 2001, and 'Late Friday' from 2001 to 2002. In 2009, he launched his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience', which has become one of the most popular podcasts.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What businesses does Joe Rogan own?</b></h2>
Joe Rogan is best known for his work as a commentator for the UFC, his podcast 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' and his stand-up comedy career. Despite being primarily known for his entertainment work, he also has several business ventures.

One of his most significant business ventures is his partnership with the health and wellness company 'Onnit'. He is an advocate for their products and often mentions them on his podcast.

Apart from this, in collaboration with Higher Primate, who are also sponsors to his famous podcast, Rogan sells exclusive merch that surely doesn't hurt his increasing bank.

Rogan also created 'Mothership,' a safe space for comics around the world. This comedy club is nestled in Austin, Texas and it endorses free speech and anti-cancel culture. Rogan made it abundantly clear, as he jokingly stated, <em>"You can't fire me from my own club!"</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's assets and car collection</b></h2>
The podcaster is known for his extravagant spending habits. He owns a luxurious $14.4 million house in Texas, which boasts a spacious and modern design. Besides that, he also owns a multi-million dollar 14,000-square-foot studio in a warehouse, where he shoots his podcasts.
