Joe Rogan has been embroiled in numerous controversies over the past few weeks regarding his Spotify podcast, but he's earning a staggering amount of money according to anonymous sources; how much is his deal with the Sweden-based company?

According to a report published by The New York Times, as reported by Variety, the UFC commentator's deal with the streaming platform is a whopping $200 million.
