How much is The Daily Wire worth? Steven Crowder net worth explored amid $50 million contract dispute

American-Canadian media host Steven Crowder is currently feuding with the conservative news website, The Daily Wire, over a $50 million contract.

On January 17, the 35-year-old uploaded a 28-minute YouTube video, wherein he stated that conservative media giants "are no better than Big Tech" companies. Without taking any names, he captioned the video as:

“The people you thought were fighting for you have been putting quick profits and the appeasement of their tech overlords ahead of any real conservative values.”

In the video, the media personality explained how he once thought all the right-wing media were "together" against their fight with Big Tech, but added that many of the top executives "in charge of the big conservative platforms” are "verifiably in bed with them.”

“Big Tech is in bed with Big Con[servative]; a lot of it has been a big con.”

Moreover, he showed the contracts he had been offered by the rightwing media and their terms and conditions of lowering his compensation in case they were not met.

At first, one might think that Steven Crowder could be talking about Fox Media, which is also conservative, but it actually is The Daily Wire, worth about $150 million, which is trying to expand itself and plans on creating movies and media dedicated to children with a limited fanbase.

"Steven, all the time I have known him, has worked for someone else, has been paid by someone else. But that does not mean other people tell him what to say. But he is not exactly a self-made man. He was paid by PJ TV when I met him which was owned by a billionaire at the time. Then he was owned by CRTV for a number of years, which was owned by a billionaire at the time."

"He didn't necessarily have to be profitable and he doesn't know for a fact he if was or not because, as he said, all those companies did not share about what was happening with them. So Steven feels very certain that his show was profitable, but he doesn't know."
