11. Online advertising is a money-making MACHINE!

While it is probably the most popular personal podcast in existence, Joe Rogan totally goes his own way, purposely eschewing money-making aspects of his miniature US Mint for various reasons...mainly content control. It still manages to pull in a very nice $30,000,000 a year.

I used to work for a horrible person for a while, and his business needed online advertising to survive. I can't imagine what his annual costs were for that, but I know for a fact that he had to top up his prepaid account (the only way they will run your ads) twice in one day, for $750 each time.

That was with Google Ads, and you can just imagine how many advertisers use their service, and how many were a bigger operation than his little semi-scam.
