Spotify Contract for Joe Rogan Worth Over $200 Million
According to the New York Times, Rogan was paid over $200 million to go exclusive with Spotify. It was a big commitment from Spotify to Rogan and Rogan to Spotify. With how popular Apple Podcasts is as a podcast app, it was a big commitment for Rogan to only post his podcast on Spotify, even taking his full episodes off of YouTube.
Spotify made their big play for Rogan, according to the Times, because he is such a big-time name and draws that he gives them enough juice to really compete with other stream giants like Apple and Google. The exclusive rights run through 2023, reportedly.
Joe Rogan Makes More Than $75,000 Per Episode
If that $200 million is accurate, that has Rogan making over $75,000 per episode of his podcast. It should be noted that his podcast sits atop the charts in 93 different markets all over the world. Each episode averages reportedly 11 million listeners each episode. When you put that into context the per-episode figure does not jump off the page as much as it may have originally.
Yeah I saw that- I never heard he got $200 mill. A,ways heard or read it was “just” 100 mill. Not much info on whether it is per year or per the contract
I did run across a site that said “per episode” was “around $100,000” so maybe it is per year? I don’t know for sure.
if he’s got 11 Million listeners daily
CNN, MSNBC and FOX (pre Tucker firing) average a combined viewership of under 4 Million.
So Joe Rogan has nearly 3 times the audience daily that FNC, CNN and MSNBC have nightly combined.
