What is Snoop Dogg’s net worth?

With a net worth of $160 million, Snoop Dogg is a multifaceted artist from the West Coast. He is known for being a rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, media figure, entrepreneur, and actor. Despite facing controversies in the early stages of his career, he has emerged as a beloved icon in pop culture, recognized for his relaxed demeanor, unique vocal style, and significant cultural impact. His sustained presence in the music industry and his ability to remain relevant over decades have solidified his legacy as a hip-hop legend.

Initially gaining recognition as Snoop Doggy Dogg in the early 1990s, Snoop’s talent was discovered by Dr. Dre. He gained prominence as a featured artist on Dre’s debut solo album, “The Chronic,” released in 1992. This opportunity paved the way for Snoop’s debut album, “Doggystyle,” which launched in 1993 and achieved massive success, selling over 20 million copies globally. His unique laid-back vocal delivery and inventive lyrics positioned him as a key player in the G-funk genre’s rise during the 1990s and 2000s, where he continued to release successful projects and collaborate across various musical styles, enhancing his appeal.

In addition to his music career, Snoop has ventured into a broad spectrum of projects. He has acted in multiple films and television series, both in guest appearances and roles. He also hosted various television programs, notably a cooking show alongside Martha Stewart that showcased his engaging personality and mainstream appeal.

Snoop’s business pursuits encompass cannabis products, esports, and endorsements. He has authored a cookbook, established a wine brand, and even produced a children’s show. Throughout his career, Snoop has continuously reinvented his artistic identity, delving into diverse musical genres such as reggae (under the name Snoop Lion) and gospel, earning multiple Grammy nominations and selling over 35 million albums worldwide.

2024 Paris Olympics Earnings

Snoop unexpectedly became a highlight of the 2024 Olympics after NBC enlisted him and Martha Stewart to provide commentary and conduct interviews during the games. Snoop particularly resonated with American audiences tuning in on NBC’s various platforms. Reports later disclosed that NBC compensated Snoop (and likely Martha as well) $500,000 per day for their Olympic contributions, in addition to coverage of expenses. Since the Olympics span around 20 days including travel, Snoop’s earnings total an impressive $10 million for less than three weeks of work.

Early Life

Born on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, Snoop Dogg is named Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. It is a common misconception that his biological father was Cordozar Calvin Broadus Sr., but his actual father was Vernell Varnado. Vernell and Beverly, Snoop’s mother, separated when he was just three months old. Eventually, Beverly married a man named Cordozar Calvin Broadus, leading to baby Snoop being legally named Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. It remains uncertain what names his parents used for him at birth or during the early months before her remarriage.

As a child, he was affectionately dubbed Snoopy, a nickname inspired by his love for…

the character from the Peanuts cartoon. Snoop started singing and playing the piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church when he was just a child. It was in sixth grade that he began his journey into rap.

Calvin, as a child, helped his family by selling candy, delivering newspapers, and bagging groceries. Although his mother tried hard to keep him focused on singing in the choir and playing football instead of falling into gang life, he started engaging in the latter during his teenage years. He became a member of the Rollin’ 20s Crips gang in the Eastside area of Long Beach. Shortly after graduating high school, he was arrested for cocaine possession. This led to frequent stints in jail and prison over the next three years.

Music Career

Snoop, alongside his cousins Nate Dogg, Lil’ 1/2 Dead, and friend Warren G, recorded homemade tapes under the name 213, inspired by the Long Beach area code of that time. One of Snoop’s early solo freestyle tracks, “Hold On,” made its way onto a mixtape that reached Dr. Dre. Impressed with Snoop’s talent, Dr. Dre invited him to audition and connected him with NWA affiliate The D.O.C., who helped him learn how to structure lyrics and craft verses, hooks, and choruses.

Doggystyle, Snoop’s debut album, produced by Dr. Dre, hit the shelves in 1993 under Death Row Records. The album soared to number one on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. It featured hit singles like “What’s My Name?” and “Gin & Juice.” Released in 1996, Snoop’s second album, Doggfather, also debuted at number one on both Billboard charts. After that, he shifted from Death Row and signed with No Limit Records for his next three albums, which included 1998’s Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told, 1999’s No Limit Top Dogg, and 2000’s Tha Last Meal. Following this period, he signed with Priority/Capitol/EMI Records in 2002, launching Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss. In 2004, he signed with Geffen Records, releasing a series of albums including R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta: The Masterpiece), That Blue Carpet Treatment, Ego Trippin, Malice ‘n Wonderland, and Doggumentary.

Following a visit to Jamaica in 2012, Snoop declared his conversion to Rastafarianism and adopted the name Snoop Lion. He released a reggae album titled Reincarnated, along with a documentary sharing the same name that detailed his Jamaican experiences.

In 2015, Snoop reverted to his original name, Snoop Dogg, and released an album called Bush. Then, in 2018, he announced his rebirth as a Christian and launched his first gospel album, Bible of Love. He came out with his seventeenth…

In 2019, Snoop released his solo album titled “I Wanna Thank Me.”

He has hosted multiple television shows such as Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood, Dogg After Dark, WrestleMania, and Snoop and Martha’s Potluck Dinner Party. Additionally, Snoop has secured several commercial endorsements including Boost Mobile, Chrysler 200, Orbit Gum, and St. Ides; he also promotes his own malt liquor, Snoop Dogg’s footlong hot dogs, the Snoop Dogg Board Company, along with various clothing lines. In 2020, he introduced a wine release branded as “Snoop Cali Red” in collaboration with the 19 Crimes brand. However, by May 2023, the wine struggled with sales and did not meet expectations.

In 2019, Snoop established his esports league known as the “Gangsta Gaming League.” By March 2022, he became part of FaZe Clan as a member of their Board of Directors, although he resigned from that position in March of the following year.

In 2023, he became involved with an investment group led by businessman Neko Sparks, aiming to purchase the Ottawa Senators from the National Hockey League.

Death Row Records

In February 2022, it was revealed that Snoop Dogg had acquired the brand rights to Death Row Records. He purchased the brand from the private equity firm Blackstone, which still retains ownership of the label’s master recordings and music royalties. With the brand name, Snoop secured the right to distribute merchandise and release music under the Death Row Records imprint.

Casa Verde Capital

Snoop is widely regarded as the most prominent cannabis enthusiast globally. Marijuana has been integral to his identity for decades. In 2015, he founded Casa Verde Capital, an investment company focused on the cannabis sector. In August 2015, Casa Verde participated in a consortium of investors that raised $10 million for Eaze, an app-based marijuana delivery service that refers to itself as the “Uber for weed.”

Moreover, in September 2015, Casa Verde launched merryjane.com, which describes itself as “the encyclopedia of weed.”

Personal Life

On June 12, 1997, Snoop wed his high school sweetheart, Shante Taylor. They filed for divorce in May 2004 but later reconciled and renewed their vows in January 2008. Together, they have three children: sons Corde (born in 1994) and Cordell (born in 1997), and daughter Cori (born in 1999). Additionally, Snoop has a son named Julian Corrie Broadus (born in 1998) from a previous relationship with Laurie Holmond. He became a grandfather in 2015 when Corde had a son with his girlfriend, Jessica Kyzer. Tragically, Corde’s second son passed away shortly after birth in September 2019.

Snoop is related to R&B artists Brandy and Ray J, as well as professional wrestler Sasha Banks.

In a 2006 interview, Snoop mentioned that between 2003 and 2004, he had worked as a professional pimp, claiming, “That shit was my natural calling, and once I got involved with it, it became fun. It was like shootin’…

“I was makin’ ’em every time,” he recalled when talking about layups. Eventually, under the guidance of some pimps he was acquainted with, he decided to leave the pimping lifestyle to dedicate more time to his family.
