Chelsea Handler would like to see the receipts.
The comedian, 51, took to Instagram to express her disbelief (and disappointment) about Joe Rogan earning the top slot on Forbes' "highest paid podcasters" list on July 30. According to Forbes, Rogan earned about $82 million between June 2025 and June 2026.
"WHO IS PAYING JOE ROGAN 82 million?" Handler asked dubiously.
Launched in 2009, "The Joe Rogan Experience" has become one of the most popular podcasts in the country, averaging about 11 million listeners and downloads per episode. It is Spotify's top global podcast and the No. 1 podcast on Apple Podcasts.
