Joe Budden’s podcasting career has been quite lucrative.
In the newest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the host sat down with Doe Boy, who did a little bit of pocket-watching.
"How much [money] you think you done made off this since you started this podcasting?" Doe asked Budden at the 2:54:35 mark.
"Altogether in the whole 10 years?" Joe responded. "About $4 [million]."
His estimate led to uproarious laughter from his co-hosts, who all seemed to say his claim was bogus.
"I think about 4 mill. Early on, we was doing it for free,” Budden continued. “Then, we hit a little lick, Spotify. Then, n***as left, the building crumbled a little bit. My friends came, saved the day. Probably about three-and-a-half to four-and-a-half million."
Doe Boy said that was “bap.”
“I’m serious. Why y’all think I’m lying?” Budden asked.
Everyone then asked for his “gross” income, to which he responded $7 million. “Then after taxes, about four, four-and-a-half.”
According to XXL, Budden started podcasting in 2015, launching the I’ll Name This Podcast Later alongside Rory Farrell and Marisa Mendez. When Mendez left a year later, Jamil “Mal” Clay joined. In 2018, Budden inked a deal with Spotify that ended in 2020. In 2021, Budden parted ways with Farrell and Clay, which is when they launched their own podcast, New Rory & Mal, and Budden continued on with his podcast, though alongside new co-hosts.
