Joe Rogan is a man who can afford to live his life king-size. The color commentator often spends his earnings to reward himself with certain luxuries. The UFC commentator’s career has helped him gather a massive net worth of over $120 million, thanks to his Spotify podcast. His success has ensured a good life for him and his family. However, this was not the case for him in his childhood and early days.
Rogan’s past narrative has constantly dwelled in the middle of severe adversities and harsh trials. His initial foray into the realm of combat sports commenced through the discipline of kickboxing, but he was compelled to withdraw prematurely due to a series of health conditions. Additionally, his childhood years were steeped in harsh conditions.

Rogan stated that his childhood was pretty rough. He added, “I’m the worst person to give that advice because I knew. Because of my childhood and the way I grew up – very unstable, divorced parents, stepdad moved to a new place all the time – I was terrified of rigidity. I was terrified of a job. I really felt like a loser because I felt like all those people could keep their jobs. Why? Why do I hate them so much? “
Rogan emphasized that his childhood was embroiled with struggles with him coping with his parent’s divorce and him moving to different places every time due to his stepdad’s work. He stated that this was the prime reason for his reluctance to get a job.
