Forbes magazine recently released its list of the "Highest-Paid Podcasters of 2026." To promote the article, the magazine shared a teaser on Instagram listing the top 20 and their estimated earnings.

Topping the list was conspiracy theory and medical misinformation promoting comedian turned UFC broadcaster and podcaster Joe Rogan at $82 million for his The Joe Rogan Experience.

Rogan premiered his podcast in 2009, which got him in early on the manosphere movement. It was later embraced by much of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's ardent fans as Rogan frequently parrots a lot of the same conspiracy theories and misinformation.

That MAGA devotion wavers depending on if Rogan has embraced or criticized Trump, but consistent critics of Rogan cite him as a major promoter and enabler of the POTUS and his regime.

You can see the Forbes Instagram post about the top 20 podcast earners list here:

Rogan's fellow comedian Chelsea Handler took to the comments to express her feelings on the top spot, writing:

"WHO IS PAYING JOE ROGAN 82 million?"
"Give that to our vets, or our children!!! 82 million to be completely uninformed and say 'whoopsie doodle,' every time he’s wrong, which is FREQUENT?"

According to Forbes, just ten years ago the podcasting industry as a whole generated less than $100 million annually. As of 2026, it's a $9 billion business.

Since Rogan's podcast's premiere, it's remained in or near the top spot in popularity. By the mid-2010s, The Joe Rogan Experience regularly pulled tens of millions of monthly downloads.

In 2020, Rogan signed his first deal with Spotify, which required him to make his podcast a platform exclusive. In 2024, he signed a new deal with Spotify for an estimated $250 million.

It included new terms that allowed the video version of Rogan's show to return to other platforms, like YouTube.

Video Of Trump Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Is All Kinds Of Awkward After Media Ban Backfires Spectacularly

President Donald Trump's decision to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House prompted a network boycott in solidarity and a ribbon cutting ceremony on the White House's South Lawn came with completely indecipherable audio because the press pool has decided to stop filming daily events.

Footage from a Monday ribbon cutting ceremony revealed that the sounds of the Marine One chopper just yards away drowned out Trump's remarks. The far-right network Newsmax was on the scene, and even they had to admit that Trump's attack against the free press seemed to be “backfiring just a little bit.”

House Republicans Get Hit With Epic Reminder After Tweet Warning About Communists Building Walls

After the official House Republicans X account tweeted a warning that "every communist country eventually builds a wall," critics were quick to point out the party's general hypocrisy.

President Donald Trump has long advocated for the United States to construct a border wall, making it a cornerstone of his immigration policy back in 2016. Since then, Republicans have continued to defend the wall as necessary for reasons of national security.

Mike Pence Reveals Trump's Telling Response After Pence Offered His Prayers Following Jan. 6 Rift

Vice President Mike Pence told the audience during his appearance at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C. that President Donald Trump rejected his offer of "praying" for him following their public rift in the aftermath of the January 6 insurrection.

Pence has long appeared to play both sides, on one hand condemning Trump for pushing the "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was fraudulent, while on the other accusing Democrats of not advocating for election integrity. But he has been out of Trump's good graces for years now since his decision to certify Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.
