Snoop Dogg is one of the most famous artists and fans love him for his chilled personality and great music. The West Coast rap legend was discovered in the 90s by Dr. Dre. Dogg went on to achieve global fame and has come a long way since then. The artist has managed to stay relevant for all these years and is one of the most popular artists around. Some of his songs include ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’, ‘Gin and Juice’, ‘Young Wild and Free’, and many more hit songs. Dogg is also famous for his high-profile collaboration with fellow artist Shaquille O’Neal. Both the artists had previously raised about $2.7 million for ‘The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation’. Hence, both share a great bond. [https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Snoop-Dogg-2.jpg] Snoop Dogg recently also appeared at Joe Rogan’s podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. A conversation with Dogg is always great. Rogan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joe-rogan/] and Dogg, thus, spoke about several topics, including music, alcohol, Rogan’s previous guests, and anything that interested both of them. To fans’ delight, Snoop Dogg video called Shaq during the podcast. They were not able to speak immediately because of a poor connection. That’s when Rogan joked about Shaq [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shaquille-oneal/] having a bad 5G. However, seconds later, the trio happily greeted each other. Dogg said, “I’m good, Shaq. I got my spirit right man.” Speaking to Shaq, Dogg further said, “Hey, you know I love you too. I know what this call is you just checking my spirit, making sure I’m right. That’s what big brother’s supposed to do; making sure your brother is right. You know I love you. I’m good, I’m straight, we sent mama home. My spirit is right.” “Love you too, and I’m knocking that out for you tomorrow too for the show. I’m getting the first four episodes out the way.” Rogan, too, spoke to Shaq and said, “Shaq, good to see you, friend. Take care, brother.” WHAT’S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SNOOP DOGG AND THE UFC? Having Dogg on his podcast would have surely been a great experience for Rogan. They seemed to click well and had a variety of topics to discuss. However, Rogan is not the only connection Dogg has to the UFC.

and her love for analysis. She has been following UFC since 2020 and very often
contemplates the psyche of fighters while they are in action and wonders what
kind of mental preparation goes into it. This is reflected in her copies about
the sport. Ironically, being a Nate Diaz fan, she can't watch a ton of blood
being spilt in the octagon. In her free time, she likes to write poetry or read
novels.

<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.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What businesses does Joe Rogan own?</b></h2>

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.

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.

Shaquille O'Neal

Who is Shaquille O&#8217;Neal? Before breaking rims and shattering backboards became rather routine, the NBA rarely saw a phenomenon quite like Shaquille O&#8217;Neal. During his 19-year-long career, O&#8217;Neal built a reputation around his physical dominance on the court. Standing at 7&#8217;1&#8243; tall and weighing over 300 pounds during his prime, he was notoriously unguardable. With 4 NBA championships, an MVP award, 15 All-Star selections, and over 28,000 career points, he is noted to be one of basketball&#8217;s most influential big men ever. He ventured into music, entrepreneurship, and entertainment after basketball, which only furthered his worldwide fame. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s early life Shaquille O&#8217;Neal was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Lucille O&#8217;Neal and Joe Toney. He did not know of his biological father, Joe Toney, who was imprisoned for drug possession when Shaq was very young. Lucille, his mother, then married a military drill sergeant &#8211; Phillip A. Harrison, who played a big role in Shaq&#8217;s childhood. Shaq has three siblings, Ayesha, Jamal, and Lateefah O&#8217;Neal. Ayesha battled with cancer and passed away in 2019. While O&#8217;Neal became a national sensation because of his dominance on the court, his larger-than-life personality and humor made him a popular figure around the world. When he first entered the league, Shaq was not confident with the media. However, he understood its importance and worked on his skills, which helped in ways not many could have imagined. Shaq studied business at Louisiana State University and played college basketball for the Tigers. His parents were adamant he should complete his college education before testing the league. Be that as it may, as coach Dale Brown was concerned O&#8217;Neal could end up with a career-ending injury due to the hard fouls he had been enduring in college games, he suggested O&#8217;Neal should declare for the NBA draft. After three years of college, Shaq declared for the NBA draft and theÂ Orlando Magic drafted him as the #1 pick in 1992. He got the go-ahead for this as he promised his mother that he would return to finish his degree. Shaq then kept his promise by completing his bachelor&#8217;s degree in 2000 while still playing in the NBA. As O&#8217;Neal felt disrespected when he was ignoredÂ during business meetings by his associates, he obtained an MBA degree from the University of Phoenix in 2005 to prove he has what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. His mother came to himÂ with tears of joy after his MBA and motivated him to go further. Then, in 2012, Shaq earned his doctoral degree in organizational learning and leadership, specializing in human resource development from Barry University. Shaquille O Neal&#8217;s wife and children Shaquille O&#8217;Neal has six children. In 1996, he and his ex-girlfriend Arnetta Yardbourgh welcomed their first child, Taahirah O&#8217;Neal. He then married Shaunie Henderson in 2002. Shaunie is a reality TV star and one of the executive producers of the Basketball Wives TV series. She had a son, Myles, from a previous relationship. O&#8217;Neal and Shaunie then had four children: Shareef, Amirah, Shaqir, and Me&#8217;arah. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal and Shaunie separated in 2011 after nine years of marriage. She then tied the knot with Pastor Keion Henderson in 2022. Shaq has not re-married since his divorce. Among his children, Shareef, Amirah, Shaqir, and Me&#8217;arah are following in their father&#8217;s footsteps in pursuing basketball. At 17, Me&#8217;arah is already growing at a rapid pace and has all the markings of a great player. She recently committed to play college basketball for the Florida Gators, snubbing her father&#8217;s alma mater, LSU. The four-star prospect is ranked No. 33 for the Class of 2024. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s net worth 2024 Shaquille O&#8217;Neal signed a 7-year $120 million contract when he joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996. It was one of the biggest deals at the time. Throughout his storied career, he went on to earn nearly $290 million in NBA salary and over $200 million in endorsements.

Schwartzman Building in New York City. (Photo by Brent N. Clarke/Getty Images) With a knack for business, the 4x NBA champion has also built an empire. He owns a total of 50 brands in different industries. As of January 2024, Shaq has amassed a net worth of $400 million. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s NBA career timeline Shaquille O&#8217;Neal played in the NBA for six teams throughout his 19-year career. He took the league by storm as a rookie. In his fourth NBA season, O&#8217;Neal led the Orlando Magic to the 1995 NBA Finals. Shaq then joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996, the same year the Lakers acquired a young Kobe BryantÂ on draft day. Shaq and the Lakers struggled initially. However, the addition of head coach Phil Jackson changed everything. He then led the Lakers to a three-peat (2000-2002). Shaq won the Finals MVP award on all three occasions and also won the 2000 NBA MVP.

(Photo by Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) In 2004, O&#8217;Neal took his talents to South Beach and helped the Miami Heat win the NBA Championship in 2006. However, Shaq was no longer at his prime and suffered multiple nagging injuries. From 2007 to 11, he played for three teams and announced his retirement while playing for the Boston Celtics in 2011, when he was 39. During his career, basketball rims and backboards were not safe. Shaq has broken a whopping 19 rims with his powerful slams. In 2017, O&#8217;Neal posted a picture of a sculpture made of all 19 rims he had broken and called it &#8216;Broken Rim Tree.&#8217; Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s contracts Here&#8217;s a breakdown of Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s contracts and earnings throughout his NBA career:  Year Team Salary Career Earnings  1992-93 Orlando Magic $3,000,000 $3,000,000  1993-94 Orlando Magic $3,900,000 $3,900,000  1994-95 Orlando Magic $4,800,000 $4,800,000  1995-96 Orlando Magic $5,700,000 $5,700,000  1996-97 Los Angeles Lakers $10,714,000 $10,714,000  1997-98 Los Angeles Lakers $12,857,143 $12,857,143  1998-99 Los Angeles Lakers $9,146,341 $9,146,341  1999-00 Los Angeles Lakers $17,142,858 $17,142,858  2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers $19,285,715 $19,285,715  2001-02 Los Angeles Lakers $21,428,572 $21,428,572  2002-03 Los Angeles Lakers $23,571,429 $23,571,429  2003-04 Los Angeles Lakers $24,749,999 $24,749,999  2004-05 Los Angeles Lakers $27,696,430 $27,696,430  2005-06 Miami Heat $20,000,000 $20,000,000  2006-07 Miami Heat $20,000,000 $20,000,000  2007-08 Phoenix Suns $20,000,000 $20,000,000  2008-09 Phoenix Suns $21,000,000 $21,000,000  2009-10 Cleveland Cavaliers $20,000,000 $20,000,000  2010-11 Boston Celtics $1,352,181 $1,352,181  Approximate Earnings $286,344,668 $286,344,668   Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s endorsements and investments Shaquille O&#8217;Neal is one of the most successful former athletes turned businessman. Big Diesel owns a total of 50 brands in different industries, with over 172 restaurants and 150 car washes. Even though he has been retired for over a decade now, Shaq still endorses 30 companies. O&#8217;Neal was a part owner of a whopping 155 Five Guys Burgers restaurants. He is the proud owner of franchises such as Krispy Kreme, Papa John&#8217;s Pizza, Auntie Anne&#8217;s Pretzel, Car Wash, and 24-Hour Fitness. Additionally, he owns 9 Papa John&#8217;s Pizza restaurants. Shaq also invested in companies like Apple, PepsiCo, Google, and General Electric. His investment in Google helped him massively increaseÂ his net worth. O&#8217;Neal is also aÂ shareholder of the Authentic Brands Group which owns JCPenney and Forever 21. The group has the right to royalty of legends like Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, and Marilyn Monroe. Being the second-highest shareholder, Shaq too owns a percentage of the legends&#8217; royalties. Even though Shaq has made some very smart investments that helped him build his business empire, he has also missed out on some huge opportunities, including investing in Starbucks. He opted not toÂ invest in the chain of coffeehousesÂ because of an interesting reason. Around the court, Shaq was once a minority owner of the Sacramento Kings, but he recently sold his shares. However, he is still open to being an owner in the NBA and expressed hisÂ desire to buy stakes at his former team the Orlando Magic.

Shaquille O&#8217;Neal: Music career Shaquille O&#8217;Neal began his music career in 1993 with his debut album Shaq Diesel. Even though the critics panned the album, it was a huge hit with the fans and received platinum certification from the RIAA. He has also worked alongside King of Pop Michael Jackson as a guest rapper on 2 Bad in MJ&#8217;s 1995 album HIStory. Since 2021, O&#8217;Neal has been performing as a DJ under the name DJ DIESEL. He once revealed that he chose to pursue electronic music because it is similar to basketball. On June 7, 2023, O&#8217;Neal released his first single as DJ Diesel from his debut electronic album Gorilla Warfare, titled &#8220;Bang Your Head,&#8221; in collaboration with Hairitage.Â  Shaquille Oâ€™Nealâ€™s shoe dealÂ  In 2023, sporting brand Reebok made Shaquille Oâ€™Neal its official President of Basketball, and he now will be bringing his expertise to drive Reebokâ€™s long-term strategy. The partnership, however, dates back to Shaq&#8217;s early days in the NBA. Dating back to the mid-90s, Shaq helped launch Reebok to the grand stage in the world of basketball, attracting players like Allen Iverson, who has joined O&#8217;Neal as the Vice President of Reebok Basketball. Shaq re-calls one incident that particularly moved him in his history with Reebok. While leaving the arena one day, O&#8217;Neal was approached by a parent, who accused Shaq of overpricing his sneakers. Having been challenged by the woman to make more affordable shoes, Shaq declined his $40 million five-year contract with Reebok. He went on to collaborate with Walmart, releasing a shoe priced under $30. Shaquille Oâ€™Nealâ€™s house Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s massive houses are fit for a giant of his size. The Lakers icon&#8217;s 35,000-square-foot lakefront estate sits on 3 acres of land in a gated community outside Orlando. It has 12 bedrooms and 11 full bathrooms. The foyer features a sweeping double staircase and 35-foot ceilings. The property boasts a 6,000-square-foot indoor basketball court, a 17-plus car showroom-style garage, a home theater, and a giant Superman-themed bed. The mansion, after 26 years of ownership by the big man, was put up for sale in 2019 for a whopping $21.9 million. He had bought this estate in 1993 for a comparatively paltry $4million. On top of this, Shaq also has mansions in Dallas and Atlanta. His house in Atlanta rests on a massive 14.3-acre property, which he bought back in 2016 for $1.15 million. Shaq&#8217;s other French-style home in Dallas, purchased in 2022, was listed at $1,225,000 at the time of purchase. Â Shaquille Oâ€™Nealâ€™s rings Shaquille O&#8217;Neal is one of the most decorated players in NBA history, winning 4 championship rings over his career. He laid hands on his first title in 2000 as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, defeating the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals. He would go on to win two more consecutive championships in 2001 and 2002, forming a dominant duo with Kobe Bryant at the Lakers. Shaq, however, earned his 4th and final ring with the Miami Heat in 2006, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 4-2 in the NBA Finals. Shaquille Oâ€™Nealâ€™s car and bike collectionÂ  Shaq is a huge car enthusiast and owns over 30 vehicles, including many luxury and sports cars.

Another notable element of Shaqâ€™s collection is his Lamborghini Gallardo with a V10 engine and a top speed of over 200 mph.Â  Shaq also owns a Ford F-650 XL, a massive pickup truck that he has also customized with his Superman logo. Other cars in his collection include the Cadillac Escalade in custom colors purple and yellow. And also has a Buick Lucerne that he especially modified to fit his 7&#8217;1&#8243; frame. Apart from a myriad of cars, Shaq also possesses a custom 14-foot Orange County Chopper motorbike in black and chrome finish.Â  How to contact Shaquille O&#8217;Neal?
