UFC Icon and veteran voice of the octagon, Joe Rogan, is known to say exactly what is on his mind. He hosts one of the biggest podcast shows in the world, that has featured a long list of famous personalities from all corners of the world. In the latest episode of the MMA Show #124 featuring mixed martial artist, Khalil Rountree Jr. During the podcast, Rogan even touched upon the topic of crypto-currency. Rogan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joe-rogan/] drew a comparison between the nascent days of the internet and how it came into power. He claimed that bitcoin is also facing a similar backlash, as a recent clip of Warren Buffett, Ceo of Berkshire Hathaway made rounds on the internet. Also Read: Meet Joe Rogan’s Multi-Talented Step Daughter Kayja Rose [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-meet-joe-rogans-multi-talented-step-daughter-kayja-rose/] Rogan said,” I think of bitcoin the same way I think of the early internet, they didn’t see it coming, and now it’s a viable form of currency-you can actually buy things with it.” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Joerogan-2.png] ELON MUSK SEEMED TO AGREE WITH JOE ROGAN AS HE FIRED BACK AT WARREN BUFFETT A viral clip of Buffett recently came across the billionaire businessman Elon Musk. The SpaceX founder backs the new digital currency system, and he lent his support to Dogecoin. This currency merely started as a joke, but it has now found its place in the ecosystem. Buffett believes [https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2022/05/01/elon-musk-mocks-legendary-investor-warren-buffetts-attack-on-bitcoin-as-the-price-slides-and-signals-further-dogecoin-support/] an intangible asset, like Bitcoin, isn’t something that can ever win his trust. In a statement, he even stated that he would not be interested in purchasing all the Bitcoins, even for a low price of $25. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/ufc-mma-news-ufc-274-date-time-venue-tickets-and-livestream/] He said, “if you told me you own all of the bitcoin in the world and you offered it to me for $25. I wouldn’t take it because what would I do with it?” he added. “I’d have to sell it back to you one way or another. It isn’t going to do anything.” To this, Musk offered a rather simple response, almost mocking the business magnate for expressing his views. It is unsure what the fate of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is going to be, but the digital system has been growing in popularity for quite some time. What side of the debate do you fall under?

<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."Â </em>The 56-year-old initially rose to fame as a stand-up comedian, with a comedy career spanning over two decades.Â  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,Â <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 wifeÂ <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.Â <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.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-2432110118 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-2432110118 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210208130429/GettyImages-1130878148.jpg" /></div>

</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.

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>

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>Who is Khalil Rountree Jr.?</h2>
Khalil Rountree Jr.'s journey into mixed martial arts began not with dreams of championship belts, but as a path to self-improvement. Currently ranked at no. 8 in the light-heavyweight division, he got his start in the UFC through â€˜The Ultimate Fighter: Team Joanna vs Team Claudiaâ€™ in 2016. While he managed to make a statement in the first round against Muhammed DeReese via a knockout, he lost his next matchup against Cory Hendricks.

However, fortune smiled when Hendricks withdrew due to injury, giving Khalil a second chance. In the semifinals, he knocked out Josh Stansbury to book his spot in the finale. Making his debut under the bright lights of The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale, Rountree lost to Andrew Sanchez by unanimous decision, marking a difficult start to his UFC career. Despite the setback, Rountree refused to be counted out and has since established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the 205 lbs. division!
<h2>Khalil Rountree Jr.'s Early Life</h2>
Khalil Rountree Jr was born in Los Angeles, California on February 26, 1990. His early life was marked by tragedy as when he was just two years old, Rountree lost his father who was fatally shot. Roderick Rountree, his father, worked as the road manager for the iconic R&amp;B and pop band, â€˜Boyz II Menâ€™ and lost his life in May 1992. This devastating event could have easily set a different course for the young â€˜Warhorseâ€™, but it was only the beginning of his story.

At the age of 20, Rountree found himself tipping the scales at more than 300 pounds. Like many others, he sought to lose weight and get in shape, but he chose an unconventional route. His decision?
