The Shocking Truth About Whether Joe Rogan Or Howard Stern Reportedly Is Richer

For many years, Howard Stern has been the king of radio since fans are fascinated by his celebrity friends and the fact that he has been so offensive that he’s been beaten up. More recently, Joe Rogan has become the king of podcasts, even though he once had stand-up gigs that were so bad they were horrifying. Even though Howard once defended Joe, they have become rivals, with fans wondering which one has more listeners.

Most people know Howard is one of the richest radio hosts and Joe is so wealthy that fans want to know how much he pays his staff. However, most of those same fans have no idea if Joe is richer than Howard, or vice versa.

Howard Stern Reportedly Is Richer Than Joe Rogan

Over the last several years, Joe Rogan and Howard Stern have become competitive figures in the minds of many observers. For example, many observers will recognize that Joe and Howard are both outspoken about their views. Since Joe and Howard rarely seem to see eye-to-eye, many observers see the arguments they make as being competitive.

On top of that, Howard’s radio show and Joe’s podcast are similar products that compete for listeners. Since both men make a lot of money from their shows, it makes sense that a lot of observers want to know whether Joe or Howard is worth more money.

As of January 2025, public reports state that Howard Stern is worth more money than Joe Rogan is.

Given that Joe arguably has more of an impact on society than Howard does these days, that may surprise some observers. After all, people cared a lot more about Joe interviewing Donald Trump than they did about Howard Stern interviewing Kamala Harris and that is just one example of how Joe is more impactful.

Despite how relevant in pop culture Joe currently is, the truth remains that Howard is richer, according to reports. As interesting as that is, it is even more fascinating to know how much more money Howard reportedly has than Joe.

As a result of how fascinating the lifestyles of many celebrities seem to be, many people want to know how rich their favorite celebrity is. The truth is that many outlets that report on famous people’s net worth don’t seem to have accurate information. As a result, it makes perfect sense to take a lot of celebrity net worth reports with a huge grain of salt.

That said, there are some more reputable sources that have reported on how wealthy Joe Rogan and Howard Stern are. While these reports are still estimates, they give viewers a more credible idea of the kind of money a celebrity is believed to be worth. One of those reports reveals how much money Joe Rogan is believed to be worth.

In May 2024, MSN published an article that labeled Joe Rogan as the world’s richest podcaster. That article also stated that many sources claimed that Joe Rogan was worth $200 million at that time.

Assuming that report about Joe’s net worth was roughly accurate at that time, the podcaster’s net worth would likely have gone up somewhat since then. That said, many people who follow Joe’s career may be confused about how he could be worth only $200 million.

Howard Stern Went On A Rant After Being Called ‘Predictable’

Howard Stern’s shocking rant about a celebrity who said he’d “gone Hollywood” and was “so predictable” was extremely brutal.

During Joe’s career, he starred in the TV shows NewsRadio and Fear Factor. Joe has also spent many years working as a comedian and made a deal with Netflix to air his comedy specials. Of course, Joe also began commentating for the UFC in 1997, and he has remained in that role ever since.

During interviews, the CEO and president of the UFC, Dana White, has spoken about how much Joe Rogan was paid when he first began commentating for the company. As Dana can be seen saying in a YouTube video, Joe initially began commentating for the UFC for free.

Based on those things alone, Joe Rogan should have made enough money to enjoy an incredible lifestyle. However, another aspect of Joe’s career may just be the most financially rewarding of all.

In February 2022, Variety reported that Joe signed a $200 million deal to make Spotify the home of “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Two years later in February 2024, The Wall Street Journal reported that Joe signed a new $250 million deal with Spotify for his popular podcast.

Based on all of Joe’s success, it may seem shocking that it was reported that he was worth $200 million. However, reports about Joe’s net woth make a lot more sense after considering the situation more closely for several factors.

First off, when Joe signed those deals, that didn’t mean that he got all the money Spotify paid. Instead, Joe’s Spotify deals had to be used to pay for the expenses that are involved in recording and releasing “The Joe Rogan Experience.” On top of that, even if all the money from Spotify went directly to Joe, that ignores the fact that he would also have to pay taxes on his income.

Finally, it has to be noted that, as is the case with everybody, Joe’s net worth would be lowered due to the fact that he spends some of the money he makes.

Yahoo! Finance’s stated that there had been rumors that Howard could potentially sell his home. While that hasn’t happened in the years since the report was published, it is revealing to see what Yahoo! Finance said about the potential of a sale.

According to Yahoo! Finance’s report at that time, they believed that Howard selling his home could make his net worth approach the $800 million range. While it is important to state that was a very rough estimate and there is no indication Howard is actually going to sell his home, that does speak to his financial potential.

Putting aside the conjecture about Howard’s house, the fact remains that Yahoo! Finance reported that his net worth was estimated to be $650 million. That means that Howard’s net worth was more than three times as much as Joe’s estimated $200 million net worth. No matter how accurate those figures are, or aren’t, there is another fact to consider.

As of January 2025, Howard Stern is 71 years old and Joe Rogan is 57 years old. Based on that fact alone, it seems very likely that Joe will continue to work longer than Howard will. On top of that, it seems like Joe’s career is a lot more on the ascent that Howard’s is. With those factors in mind, it seems like Joe has a lot of potential to possibly surpass Howard’s net worth in the future.
