Alex Cooper’s rise from a 2018 podcast launch to multi-platform megadeals has turned her into a media powerhouse. By June 2026, she’s 31, with a reported net worth ranging from $22 million to $60 million, alongside major earnings estimates and blockbuster cont
For years. Alexandra “Alex” Cooper built her audience the same way she built her brand: by showing up with jokes. candor. and a sense that the listener was part of the conversation. Now, the “Daddy gang” energy has turned into something bigger than a podcast. It’s a business empire—one powered by high-stakes deals and rapid growth.
As of June 2026, Alex is 31 years old. She was born on August 21, 1994.
Her financial climb is steep, too. Alex’s net worth is estimated to range between $22 million and $60 million, with figures reported by multiple outlets, including Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth. Forbes estimated that in June 2025 she had $32 million in earnings.
That momentum appears tied to the contracts that kept stacking up. After her previous three-year $60 million stint with Spotify, Sirius XM bought “Call Her Daddy” for a $125 million multi-year contract. That deal didn’t just extend the show—it cemented Cooper’s move from host to dealmaker on a scale most podcasters never reach.
Cooper’s wealth didn’t land all at once. It started with a launch in 2018. when she and her New York City roommate. Sofia Franklyn. created the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. The show initially gained attention for sexual advice and jokes. Within just a month. the podcast was acquired by Barstool Sports. and Cooper and Franklyn were offered a base salary of about $70. 000 per year.
After “Call Her Daddy” became one of Barstool’s most successful podcasts, Cooper renegotiated her salary with Dave Portnoy. He offered her a $500,000 salary to stay with Barstool. Sofia left the platform.
Then came the shift that expanded the reach of Cooper’s platform even further. In 2021, Alex left Barstool for Spotify, signing a $60 million deal with the streaming provider. When she and Sofia went their separate ways. Cooper’s strategy leaned into celebrity momentum—she made the second guest of the show a celebrity guest. helping the podcast become one of the most successful among both male and female podcasters.
Three years after joining Spotify, she signed a $125 million multi-year contract with Sirius XM.
Between the deals, Cooper continued building the story of her life and work for viewers. In 2025, she released her docuseries, “Call Her Alex,” where she offers a candid glimpse into her background, daily work life, her college experiences, and how she became a podcast host.
The sequence—acquisition, renegotiation, a major streaming deal, and then another leap with Sirius XM—maps a career that kept turning into something bigger each time the stakes rose.
