He was raised in a Jewish household in Long Island with two siblings, a brother, and a sister.
Rubin attained his bachelor’s degree in political science from Binghamton University. Instead of pursuing a political career, he opted for an attempt in comedy.

The very next year, he scored an internship at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Rubin continued his comedy career in 2000 when he began performing at the Manhattan-based comedy club Comedy Cellar.
During this time, he performed regularly and made many connections with other comedians.
Rubin collaborated with other Comedy Cellar comedians in 2000 to form The Anti Show, a parody American news program.
Rubin’s association with comedy clubs inspired larger career moves throughout the subsequent few years.
He was the founder of two New York City based comedy clubs, Joe Franklin’s Comedy Club and The Comedy Company in Times Square.
His stand-up career continued at these comedy clubs until 2007.

Rubin had his first taste in a long stint of podcasts in the late 2000s.
He was the host of Hot Gay Comics, which was short lasted, and The Ben and Dave Show in 2007. The success of this LGBT-centered podcast led to it being turned into a TV series.
In 2009, after The Ben and Dave Show was suddenly taken off the air, he and Ben Harvey chose to continue the themes of the show through their new podcast, The Six Pack.
By May 2009, The Six Pack was iTunes’ number one LGBT podcast.

In early 2013, Rubin started his solo show, The Rubin Report.
The Rubin Report was initially published by The Young Turks.
During this time, Rubin appeared as a host and commentator in many of their other shows.
This was until Rubin began to disagree with the network in 2015, triggering his departure from The Young Turks’ network.
From 2015 onwards, The Rubin Report had a stint on RYOT and was later migrated to Ora TV until Rubin decided to work independently on YouTube in June 2016.
The Rubin Report hit a milestone in May 2019 when the YouTube channel reached 200 million views, and it subsequently became available on Blaze TV.
It was in this same year that Rubin surpassed one million subscribers, winning him a Gold Creator Award on his channel from YouTube.
The Rubin Report continues to delve into controversial and thought-provoking topics of religion, atheism, foreign policy, and the role of governments.
He has had numerous high-profile guests speak on The Ruben Report, including Ben Shapiro, Larry King, Jordan Peterson, Bob Saget, John McCain, Sam Harris, and the list goes on.

Net Worth 2024
People are curious as to what David Rubin’s net worth is.
Here are the details:
He has now become well-established through multiple sources of income.
Rubin has earned most of his money through advertising revenue on his YouTube channel and through the sales of his book.
Until 2019, he had a Patreon connected to his YouTube channel, allowing his fans to make financial contributions to his channel.
The Rubin Report has 502 million total views.–about $1.5 million in revenue. The Social Blade estimates that its monthly earnings could range anywhere from $1.4K to $22.4K per month, based on the number of views for that month. The channel’s revenue will continue to grow as long as Rubin continues to provide quality content.
The exact sales numbers of ‘Don’t Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason’ are unknown, but since its release in April 2020, it has accrued over 3,900 reviews on Amazon. In total, Rubin’s books on Amazon have over 4,300 ratings — this means an estimated 215,000 to 430,000 copies sold.
Multiplying this by the $13.99 Kindle price gives an estimated partial revenue of $46,167.
It can be safely assumed that a minuscule percentage of readers leave a review, so the actual revenue would be many multiples higher than this figure.
In late 2020, Rubin and his husband, David Janet, sold their Sherman Oaks home for $1.75 million and relocated to a $5.2 million, 6500 square feet mansion in Encino, Los Angeles.
Their new home boasts six bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. In December 2021, Rubin sold his Encino mansion for $5.8 million.
Therefore, Dave Rubin has an estimated net worth of $15 million.
