He made over $30 million last year on just his podcast. HE still gets checks every month for News Radio since it syndicated. He has several investments in several businesses. He works for the UFC. He has Netflix specials.

Some guess he is pulling in over 100 million a year. I'm sure he and his family are going to be ok.

I figure Jamie probably makes 1 million a year...

Of all the places on the internet I visit, HN is the only place I regularly see comments like the one you’re responding to, suggesting that people with literally tens of millions of dollars are making some decision so they can “provide for their family”, as if they couldn’t do that already with a fraction of the interest they can make on their wealth.

I can’t put my finger on why it’s used so much. To frame the super rich 0.1% as merely responsible fathers and mothers?

1 million you say? I dunno... Jamie, pull that up!
