In the world of podcasting, few names are bigger than Alex Cooper. The 30-year-old media mogul is the creator and host of Call Her Daddy, the weekly comedy and advice podcast that has consistently ranked in the top two on Spotify since 2021. After the title debuted on Barstool Sports in 2018, Cooper went solo and sold the show in a $60 million deal with Spotify in June 2021, and followed that up with a massive $125 three-year deal with Sirius XM in August 2024.
Over the years, she’s featured such high-profile podcast guests as Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Gwyneth Paltrow and former vice president of the United States Kamala Harris.
That success and notoriety landed her a place on the TIME100 Next list in 2023, where comedian Chelsea Handler praised Cooper as “a force to be reckoned with,” adding: “Alex fearlessly dives into the corners of the human psyche with her razor-sharp wit and unmatched storytelling skills. She’s like Nancy Drew on steroids, minus the collared dresses.”

It also earned Cooper her own docuseries: Call Her Alex premieres on Hulu on Tuesday, June 10. The two-part documentary follows the podcast personality as she prepares for her first live tour in support of Call Her Daddy and charts her beginnings as “a self-conscious kid growing up in Pennsylvania,” to a “24-year-old woman with a sex and dating podcast, to the CEO of a media empire in just six years,” per the doc’s official logline.
Ahead of the documentary’s premiere, let’s take a look at Alex Cooper’s financial success as well as her professional background.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Alex Cooper’s current net worth is estimated at $60 million, the result of her popular podcast as well as other business ventures.
That wealth is greatly due to her multimillion-dollar media deals with Spotify—$20 million per year made her Spotify's highest earning female podcaster and the second-highest paid podcaster, behind only Joe Rogan—and later SiriusXM.

What happened to Alex Cooper’s podcast partner, Sofia Franklyn?
When the Call Her Daddy podcast first debuted on Barstool Sports in 2018, there were two hosts: Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn. The roommates-turned-coworkers helped turn the title into a bonafide hit; however, things soured between the co-hosts and their boss, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, in 2020 due to disagreements over their contract renewal.
Cooper discusses the professional and personal rift in her Hulu docuseries, Call Her Alex. "Sofia and I were making the company millions of dollars," Cooper recalled. “We absolutely deserved more money. But unfortunately, we had signed a three-year contract with Barstool Sports and they owned our IP, so Sofia and I went in together and we renegotiated our contract. Dave ended up offering us what I considered the deal of a lifetime.”
Initially, Cooper and Franklyn were receiving a contract worth $70,000; however, the new contract would give them $500,000 and ownership of Call Her Daddy after a year. “Sofia didn’t want to take the deal but I did. So I stayed,” Cooper said in Call Her Alex. “I realized the Daddy Gang was bigger than both of us. When I was going out on my own, I had to look inward and figure out where I wanted to take the show. I’ve never done a podcast where I have to talk for an hour by myself.”
Though Sofia ultimately left the Call Her Daddy podcast to launch her own title—Sofia with an F, where she similarly discusses relationships and sex and interviews celebrities—it does seem like Cooper’s financial success has her regretting that decision. “I mean, if she wants to Venmo me $30 million,” Franklyn joked during a February 2022 episode of The Morning Toast, referencing Cooper’s major $60 million deal with Spotify in 2021. “It was also hard to see something you’ve worked on for so f***king long be sold for that amount of money. I actually think if I would’ve stayed on the show and we would’ve not betrayed each other … I think we could’ve sold it for more, honestly, and that was always the goal.”
Where did Alex Cooper go to college?
For college, Alex Cooper attended Boston University on a full-tuition scholarship, where she studied film and television from 2013 to 2017. While attending the Massachusetts-based institution, Cooper played for the school’s Division I women's soccer team as a midfielder.
In her Call Her Alex docuseries, Cooper recounted her college experience at BU and especially her time playing soccer on campus. In the new Hulu doc, the media personality alleged that her former coach Nancy Feldman “fixated” on her, “wanting to know who I was dating ... making comments on my body and always wanting to be alone with me.” Though her parents reported the claims of sexual harassment to the university, Cooper alleged that BU wouldn’t conduct an investigation into her claims and did not fire Feldman, who retired from the school in 2022.
During a Q&A at the documentary’s premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, Cooper revealed why she wanted to share those harrowing personal experiences to audiences. “The minute I stepped back on that field, I felt so small,” Cooper said at the event, as reported by PEOPLE. “I just felt like I was 18 years old again, and I was in a situation with someone in a position of power who abused their power, and I felt like I wasn’t the Call Her Daddy girl. I wasn’t someone who had money and influence or whatever. I was just another woman who experienced harassment on a level that changed my life forever and took away the thing I loved the most.”
She continued: “I actually think this is just the beginning. It’s really opened my eyes to how difficult the system is, and it’s so built against us as women, and we have to fight so f***ing hard to have our voices heard, and we are denied, or we’re questioned, or you feel shame, and that started to really get in my head of, how am I about to not put this in the documentary?… I realized, holy sh**, I have so much more work to do, and I’m going to use my platform to hopefully inspire other people to come forward and tell their stories, because conversation is the only way that we’re going to actually have change and we’re going to make change.”
