Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor Net Worth 2024, Wife, Next Fight, and More Who is Conor McGregor? There&#8217;s barely any UFC fan who is not familiar with the name Conor McGregor. ConchÃºr AntÃ³in Mac GrÃ©agÃ³ir, an Irish MMA fighter, has become synonymous with the UFC, at least for an entire generation of fans. Deemed one of the highest-earning athletes in the world, the first-ever UFC two-division champion charted the Forbes No. 1 list in 2021 for his earnings both inside and outside the octagon. Apart from his fighting prowess, he is today a successful entrepreneur and very much a family man. So hereâ€™s a detailed peek into UFCâ€™s very own â€˜Notorious.â€™ Conor McGregorâ€™s early lifeÂ  McGregor was born in the year 1988 to Margaret and Tony McGregor in the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. McGregor&#8217;s mother is Margaret McGregor, and his father&#8217;s name is Tony McGregor. Apart from these two, the McGregor family also consists of the fighter&#8217;s two sisters. Erin McGregor is his oldest sister, while his second older sister is named Aoife McGregor. Erin McGregor has also appeared as a contestant in the noted celebrity dance reality show, &#8216;Dancing with the Stars&#8217;. She also works as a fitness model. On the other hand, Aoife McGregor prefers staying out of the spotlight and runs an excavation business with her husband Mark Elliott in Dublin. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; attended Irish language schools for his education. He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mologa, in Harold&#8217;s Cross. He also got admitted toÂ  GaelcholÃ¡iste ColÃ¡iste de hÃde in Tallaght.   McGregor grew up in a rather violent neighborhood of Crumlin in Dublin. He also played football in his youth. But at the age of 12, McGregor started taking boxing lessons at the Crumlin Boxing Club to raise his confidence and defend himself in the fights he often got into. McGregor shifted to Lucan in Dublin in the year 2006. He also took up an apprenticeship as a plumber. Also, it was in Lucan where McGregor had his meeting with the former UFC fighter, Tom Egan. This meeting opened up whole new avenues before McGregor. They also started training in MMA together. Conor McGregor&#8217;s wife and children First and foremost it needs to be mentioned that Conor McGregor isn&#8217;t married as of now. The Irishman has been in a relationship with his girlfriend-turned-fiance, Dee Devlin. McGregor first met Devlin in 2008 and the two have been together ever since. However, their relationship became public post-McGregor&#8217;s UFC rise in 2013. The Dublin native also got engaged to the love of his life in the year 2020. McGregor and Devlin also have four three kids together named, Conor Jr., Croai, Rian, and their latest addition, Mack. McGregor&#8217;s son, Conor Jr. is his eldest offspring, followed by his daughter Croai. Then followed by Rian, and the youngest is Mack, born in November 2023. Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth 2024 The 35-year-old Irishman took the UFC and the sport of MMA to a whole new level since he joined in 2013. McGregor showcased his superb in-octagon prowess to become the first-ever champ-champ of the UFC. Understandably, the UFC also didn&#8217;t limit itself financially and awarded McGregor lucrative contracts.   &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; also holds an awesome insight about how he can multiply his money with investments. He has invested in numerous businesses to date and makes some hefty amounts from there as well. As far as reports suggest, &#8216;Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth&#8217; stands at a whopping $200M by the end of the year 2024. McGregor also receives his salary per fight, like every other UFC fighter. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; earned his all-time highest base salary in his two last bouts against the famed lightweight, Dustin Poirier, which stood at a whopping $5M. The same bouts also earned him his biggest paydays. Also, McGregor&#8217;s total earnings from both bouts were exactly the same. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; pocketed an insane $5,011,000 for each of the two fights. Conor McGregorâ€™s career timeline The boy who once started boxing to defend himself from bullies today rules the world of MMA. Here are some of the highlights of his decorated career: Began showing interest in MMA (April 2006) First MMA Fight (February 2007) First Professional MMA Fight (March 2009) UFC Debut (April 2013) Fastest UFC Knockout in Championship Match (Jose Aldo, December 2015) First simultaneous UFC double champion (Eddie Alvarez, November 2016) Professional Boxing Debut (August 2017) Conor McGregor: UFC record The later part of McGregor&#8217;s career saw him pick up quite a few losses. The UFC record of arguably the most noted figure in MMA currently stands at 22-6-0. His last win was against Donald Cerrone by TKO but sadly the fighter was in recovery after two consecutive losses against Dustin Poirier, with the latter leaving him with a fractured tibia that required surgical intervention.Â    The fighter has however independently announced his comeback, but we are still awaiting an official confirmation from the promotion he is contractually bound to. And as per his own revelation to The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani, he has only two more fights left in his contract. He has further made it abundantly clear that his loyalties lie with the UFC and has denied any inclination towards free agency or otherwise.Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s next fight â€“ Who are the possible opponents for the UFC Star Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; had his last octagon outing at UFC 264. After his gruesome shinbone injury in the bout against Dustin Poirier, McGregor was sidelined for an unprecedented amount of time. There were a lot of talks about 2023 being the year of his return. Several fans had also expected the same when McGregor was elected as one of the coaches for &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217; this year. As per the ritual, the two TUF coaches, McGregor and Michael Chandler were also pitted against each other for a bout that would also mark McGregor&#8217;s return to the octagon. But with &#8216;The Irishman&#8217; failing his USADA testing pool deadline, the entire bout is currently in jeopardy. McGregor and Chandler were scheduled to compete at the last PPV of 2023. Nonetheless, now that he is back at the testing pool, it seems that 2024 is really the year.Â Earlier, the UFC president Dana White sounded pretty keen to make this bout happen when he talked about exempting McGregor from the USADA. McGregor&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve announcement which he deemed himself as &#8220;The Greatest Comeback in Sports History,&#8221;Â has only added to the excitement of his fans. The only update we have so far is that on June 29th, 2024, &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; will be facing Michael Chandler and at a weight neither has ventured yet- 185 Lbs. Regardless, the UFC or head honcho Dana White is yet to provide any confirmation on the ordeal, and so far, no contracts have been signed. Given the lack of sufficient confirmation, Chandler has been outspoken about getting restless, and that he is not worried about fighting at a different weight.Â But, in an unpredictable sport like MMA, we will still have to wait and watch who exactly McGregor fights next. Conor McGregorâ€™s businesses and endorsements &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; is easily among the wealthiest mixed martial artists. He has huge endorsement deals and tie-ups with Monster Energy, Reebok, Beats Electronics, Burger King, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Budweiser. Additionally, McGregor has his clothing line, August McGregor, and his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve. McGregor set foot into the spirits industry in September 2018 with his Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. Initially, McGregor launched the product in the US and Ireland only. However, the success of the product had McGregor expressing his wishes to restock in the US and Ireland. via Getty McGregor also intended to introduce his whiskey into the markets of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Canada in 2019. However, in 2021 it was reported that McGregor and his partners had sold their shares of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey to &#8216;Proximo Siprits&#8217; for a hefty $600M. READ MORE &#8211; Conor McGregor Arrest: What Case Is the UFC Star Involved In Now? Alongside all these, McGregor also owns a chain of pubs called the Black Forge Inn. They have several outlets in some of the noted cities of this world. However, McGregor&#8217;s Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin was subjected to an attack from criminals on 12 January 2022. The hooligans threw petrol bombs targeting the pub. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. McGregor also promised a cash reward to anyone identifying the criminals Conor McGregorâ€™s UFC careerÂ  McGregor made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain&#8217;s biggest promotion, The Cage Warriors. There he set up an 8 fight winning streak. In the same time frame, he became the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight double champion, the first European to do so. McGregor&#8217;s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. After defeating the famed Max Holloway in his second bout, McGregor became a household name even to the UFC audience. His further wins against Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver made sure that his demand to fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship was answered positively. But McGregor had to take on the Interim Featherweight Champion, Chad Mendes, before his title bout against the then-injured Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo. McGregor got the better of Mendes with a TKO in a neck-to-neck battle in UFC 189. He crowned himself the Interim Featherweight Champion, further justifying his Featherweight title shot. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; finally had his much-awaited Featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Most UFC fans would agree that McGregor delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the UFC that night. He knocked out the fan-favorite, Aldo, in just 13 seconds of the bout claiming his UFC Featherweight title. McGregor had his first UFC loss against the coveted Nate Diaz at UFC 196 when he decided to move up to the Welterweight division. Diaz landed a few clean strikes in the second round of the bout which made McGregor shoot for a double leg. However, the &#8216;Stockton Gangster&#8217; used his superb BJJ skills to transition it to a rear-naked choke and submitted McGregor at the 4:12 mark of the second round. But during their rematch at UFC 202, McGregor avenged his defeat. Post that, he also earned the lightweight belt by defeating then-champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. But McGregor couldn&#8217;t defend his Featherweight title successfully even once as he was stripped of it on 26 November 2016. The UFC authorities blamed it on his inactivity and announced that he had vacated the title himself. However, McGregor&#8217;s associates said that he was stripped. Conor McGregor&#8217;s Fight Against Floyd Mayweather Jr. McGregor&#8217;s fame in the UFC had him venturing out into other avenues as well. In June 2017, a boxing bout between McGregor and the coveted undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, was announced. The bout was expected to be the most cost-involved boxing matchup at that time. The earnings of Mayweather from the bout stood at a whopping $280M while &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; also earned a lump sum amount of $130M. via Getty However, McGregor didn&#8217;t quite have the outcome of his choice, as he was knocked out by Mayweather in the tenth round of the bout. But this bout earned him a lot of respect from the boxing community. Conor McGregorâ€™s Graphic Injury at UFC 264 Conor McGregor in his third fight against rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, had an immensely toxic buildup to the fight. One reason for the toxicity between the two is an unpaid charity pledge, which McGregor promised in their second fight at UFC 257.Â  Leading up to their fight at UFC 264, both McGregor and Poirier had one win over each other, and their fight at UFC 264 was supposed to be the tiebreaker. Ironically enough, this didnâ€™t seem to be the case, as the fight ended prematurely, with McGregor snapping his leg near the end of the very first round.Â  This led to Dustin Poirier Being termed the winner of the fight via Doctorâ€™s Stoppage. The injury has kept him out of action for over two years. However, the Irishman is finally aiming for a return in 2024. Despite the injury, McGregor has kept himself busy focusing on his outside of fighting.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s major achievements and awards Interim UFC Featherweight Championship against Chad Mendes at UFC 189, 2015 UFC Featherweight Championship against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 UFC Lightweight Championship against Eddie Alvarez via TKO, UFC 205, 2016 Fight of the Night (Two times) vs. Nate Diaz (x2) First Irish-born UFC champion Third Multi-Divisional Champion in UFC History (Featherweight, Lightweight) First simultaneous multi-divisional champion in UFC history (Featherweight, Lightweight) Fastest win in a UFC Championship fight (13 seconds) vs. JosÃ© Aldo Conor McGregor&#8217;s charity works Leaving aside the controversies, McGregor has done a lot of charity work for his community. He donated $1 million to first responders following the success of his whiskey brand. Moreover, McGregor also gave away 50,000 to help the homeless people of Ireland. In May 2020, McGregor donated 1.3 million worth of PPE to Irish hospitals to fight the battle against Coronavirus. Additionally, McGregor has inspired several fans including a disabled man to turn their lives around. In April 2021, McGregor donated $500,000 to The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana. The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana is involved in the growth and care of children from vulnerable houses and communities. Conor McGregorâ€™s shoe deal Mystic Mac teamed up with Reebok as a new addition to their brand campaign for their Zig Kinetica sneaker in 2020. The fighter also appeared in a commercial entering a room laden with toys here and there, eventually morphing into one of them by harnessing the power of the shoes and defeating the rogue toys. The tagline appears- â€˜sport the unexpected.â€™Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s house The UFC fighter, a family man, owns several houses, all worthy of a king. One is of course in his homeland, wherein he spent two million Euros for the lush The Paddocks near Straffan. The property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and even a games room. Apart from that it faces River Liffey and even has a horse riding establishment.Â  He also owns a luxe property in Marbella, which is his holiday abode that came at a price of nearly 1.3 million Euros. A modern house that has been customized to the fighterâ€™s needs, it also offers picturesque views of the Mediterranean, only a doorstep away from the La Resina Golf Course. And of course, how can â€˜The Notoriousâ€™ skip the Sin City! The Mac Mansion sits only minutes away from the Vegas Strip, with seven bedrooms, a 50ft luxury pool, as well as its very own golf course.Â  And to nobodyâ€™s surprise, all his properties have customized gyms, and spas, that make sure McGregor can train anywhere he is.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s knockouts Hereâ€™s a list of McGregorâ€™s knockouts, starting from his latest win-Â  Against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, 2020 Against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, 2016 Against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 Against Chad Mendes, UFC 189, 2015 Against Dennis Siver, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Silver, 2015 Against Dustin Poirier, UFC 178, 2014 Against Diego Brandao, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao, 2014 Against Marcus Brimage, UFC on FUEL TV: Mousasi vs Latifi, 2014 How to contact Conor McGregor?

<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>.

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.

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

Joe Rogan: Net Worth 2024, JRE Podcast, Wife, and Spotify Deal Who is Joe Rogan? We know Joe Rogan as a man with many talents &#8211; &#8220;stand up comic, mixed martial arts fanatic, psychedelic adventurer, host of the joe rogan experience podcast.&#8221;Â 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&#8217;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&#8217;s a detailed peek at the color commentator&#8217;s life and achievements. Joe Rogan&#8217;s early life 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&#8217;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&#8217;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 and his father left the family. Joe Rogan&#8217;s wife and kids Joe Rogan&#8217;s wifeÂ Jessica Ditzel is a multi-talented individual. 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.  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 Joe Rogan is also the step-father to Ditzel&#8217;s firstborn daughter, Kayja Rose Connor, whom he legally adopted in 2009 from her former relationship with the late singer Keven &#8216;Dino&#8217; Conner. Joe Rogan net worth 2024 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&#8217;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.  via Getty 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 &#8216;Onnit&#8217;, 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, &#8216;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8217;. 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&#8217;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. Joe Rogan&#8217;s professional career and highlights Joe Rogan has had a multifaceted career in entertainment, starting with his acting career in the 1990s. He played Frank Valente in &#8216;Hardball&#8217; in 1994 and later Joe Garrelli in &#8216;NewsRadio&#8217; from 1995 to 1999.
