FOX Business’s Stuart Varney about Joe Rogan announcing that he is moving to Texas to escape the headaches of big cities.
Joe Rogan didn’t have to drink donkey juice, sleep in a snake-filled coffin or walk a tightrope 10,000 feet above the air to seal the deal.
The former “Fear Factor” host, UFC commentator and podcast creator sold his property in Bell Canyon, California, for $ 3.45 million – $ 250,000 more than he was asking for.
The change comes after Rogan, 53, said goodbye to Los Angeles and hello to Texas last year.

He left behind two properties with guard gates in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, after wanting more space and “freedom”.
He bought one of the Bell Canyon properties – the one he is currently unloading – for $ 2.3 million in 2003, during his time as the host of the “Fear Factor”. The superstar podcaster initially put the house on the market in October for $ 3.2 million. The house was sold on Friday, five months later.
Occupying a huge area of 7,573 square feet, the house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
