Joe Rogan has so far collected a huge fortune in his career, although only a small amount is due to his work in the UFC.
The comedian has been involved in the promotion at UFC 12 since 1997 and worked as a backstage interviewer before he makes his way in the comment office when Dana White took over as president in 2001.
Since then, Joe Rogan has been the voice of the UFC and he only missed one show in the last three years when Rogan took a vacation during the last fight of Dustin Poirier on UFC 318.
Rogan is back for UFC 319 and, despite the fact that, despite the fact that he is conveniently paid for his work, he hardly touches the sides of his impressive capacity.

What is Joe Rogan's ability?
Rogan has built up capital in hundreds of millions, according to sources that reported on the accumulated wealth of the comedian.
According to Celebrity, Rogan has an estimated capacity of around $ 200 million, making it one of the richest men involved in the UFC.
Only a huge minority of that total comes from his work as a UFC commentator. Rogan has been appearing at the comment office at UFC events for almost 25 years, making him one of the longest-getting men in the company.
Reports suggest that Rogan gets around $ 50,000 per UFC event, although it usually skips the Fight Night shows in recent years and, instead, only stays on the large, numbered events.
Even without exact figures, we can estimate that during this time he has earned between $ 10 million and $ 20 million and earns a huge compensation as the voice of the promotion for the most of his history, on the way countless iconic calls.
However, the majority of Rogan's assets come from other sources.
Joe Rogan's podcast earns most of his salary
Although he has made millions in comedy and in the UFC, Rogan's biggest money maker has been the unprecedented success of his podcast.
“The Joe Rogan Experience” is perhaps the largest podcast in the world, which attracts an estimated 14 million monthly listeners and becomes an influential power in the online world.
The success even saw Rogan signing a deal with Spotify worth more than $ 250 million in 2024, so that an earlier $ 200 million deal for the former host “Fear Factor” was renewed.
This is a huge money than he could ever hope to earn in the UFC, despite the million that Rogan has done in his work as a commentator for the promotion.
Without signs of delay and the increasing popularity of his podcast around the world, it would be no surprise to abandon the UFC comment office one day and to concentrate full -time on “The Joe Rogan Experience”.
