The comedian's been pretty vocal about heading out to Texas after having enough of the coronavirus-inflicted lockdowns currently being implemented in California. Due to such, per Austonia, Joe acquired a $14 million luxury lake house on Lake Austin that is being billed as one of the biggest transactions in the area's history. Some outlets even quoted the home's price at closer to $28 million due to the fact that Texas is a non-disclosure state, meaning even appraisers can't get accurate pricing.

The podcasting phenom accepted a $100 million licensing deal with Spotify to relocate to Austin and host his namesake show there, and his acquisition of the massive estate proves he's there to stay. According to the publication, Joe's new digs boast 11,000 square feet of space with access to the lake on the property, a solarium, a recently added saltwater swimming pool, and a huge circular driveway with detached garages. 

His move isn't shocking when you consider that Austin has been named the fastest-growing large city in America according to this Rice|Kinder Institute of Urban Research study, highlighting new startups and housing developments in the area.

While many people are maligning the changes in the area, especially the cost of living, it comes with the territory whenever a location receives a surge of growth as substantive as Austin, and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down, either.

Joe Rogan's podcast initially started in a studio he had created in his California home but then he transitioned to taping sessions at the Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena (also known as Deathsquad Studios) on Nov. 24, 2011.

A year later, on Nov. 27, 2012, all of his podcasts took place in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.
