Joe Budden Makes $1 Million Per Month From His Podcast

Joe Budden has revealed that he makes $1 million per month from his self-titled podcast and that's just from Patreon.
In a new profile of Budden for The New York Times, it was reported that the podcaster's network of shows is set to bring in $20 million in revenue by the end of 2025.


It was also confirmed by Patreon that Budden is the highest earning star on the platform, bringing in around $1 million per month from roughly 12,000 paying subscribers.
Budden's podcast also earns money from YouTube, other podcast platforms, sponsorship and merchandise.
Budden did not reveal what he and his co-hosts get paid out of the generated revenue nor what the podcast's overheads are.
The retired rapper recently accidentally revealed how much his podcast was making through Patreon.


In a post on Instagram Stories, Budden appeared to be trying to brag about how many views his videos were getting, however he failed to properly block out the part which detailed the podcast's income.



The slightly blurry post reveals that the podcast has brought in a shade over $900,000 on a monthly basis.
Budden previously claimed that he was making serious money from podcasting.
Last year, the Hip Hop personality claimed that he's made around $4 million from podcasting over the last decade, which would average $400,000 per year.


The conversation was sparked by a question from special guest Doe Boy, who asked Budden: "How much you think you done made off this since you started podcasting?"
After his co-hosts laughed at the audacious enquiry, the former Slaughterhouse MC replied: "Altogether in the whole 10 years? About $4 mil."
Budden's answer also sparked hilarity, with his fellow hosts unconvinced by the figure. Even Budden himself began to laugh, betraying his sarcasm.
"Yeah, I think about $4 mil," he continued with a smirk. "Early on we were doing it for free. Then we hit a little lick, Spotify. Then n-ggas left, the building crumbled a little bit. My friends came to save the day. Probably about three and a half to four a half mil."


Despite being accused of "lying" by those in the room, the "Pump It Up" rapper insisted that he was serious before claiming that his gross profit (before taxes) was closer to $7 million.
