Snoop Dogg Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Snoop Dogg’s net worth?

A net worth of $160 million belongs to Snoop Dogg, a multifaceted individual from the West Coast who has established himself as a rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, media figure, entrepreneur, and actor. Early career controversies did not deter Snoop from becoming a cherished icon in pop culture, recognized for his relaxed demeanor, unique vocal delivery, and significant cultural impact. His enduring presence in the music industry and his talent for remaining relevant over decades have solidified his legacy as a hip-hop icon.

In the early 1990s, Snoop Dogg, initially known as Snoop Doggy Dogg, made his entrance into music after catching the attention of Dr. Dre. He gained notable exposure through his significant appearance on Dre’s 1992 debut solo project, “The Chronic.” This exposure was a catalyst for Snoop’s own first album, “Doggystyle,” released in 1993, which achieved tremendous success, ultimately selling over 20 million copies globally. His trademark laid-back vocal style coupled with inventive lyrics positioned him as a prominent figure within the nascent G-funk genre. Throughout the ensuing decades of the 1990s and 2000s, Snoop consistently produced hit singles and successful albums, collaborating with a wide range of artists across different music styles, amplifying his versatility and reach.

In addition to his musical career, Snoop has diversified his interests into various fields. He has made appearances in numerous films and television shows, either as himself or in acting parts. He even hosted a cooking show alongside Martha Stewart, which showcased his magnetic personality and broad appeal.

Moreover, Snoop has engaged in several business initiatives, such as launching cannabis-related products, entering the esports sector, and taking on various endorsements. He has authored a cookbook, introduced a wine label, and developed a children’s program. Snoop has undergone multiple reinventions throughout his career, exploring different musical genres including reggae (under the name Snoop Lion) and gospel. With multiple Grammy nominations and over 35 million albums sold worldwide, Snoop’s impact is notable.

2024 Paris Olympics Earnings

At the 2024 Olympics, Snoop unexpectedly became a standout star after NBC enlisted him and Martha Stewart to attend the games for commentary and interviews. Snoop, in particular, won over American viewers on various NBC platforms during the event. Reports later confirmed that NBC compensated Snoop (and likely Martha as well) $500,000 daily for his Olympic contributions, in addition to covering expenses. The overall duration of the Olympics is close to 20 days, including travel components. If Snoop was indeed remunerated $500,000 for each of those days, that totals to $10 million for just a few weeks of work.

Early Life

Born on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, Snoop Dogg carries the birth name Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. One might presume that his father was Cordozar Calvin Broadus Sr., but that is not accurate. Instead, Snoop’s biological father was Vernell Varnado. Vernell and his mother, Beverly, separated when Snoop was merely three months old. Later, Beverly wed a man named Cordozar Calvin Broadus, which led to baby Snoop being legally named Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. His original name during infancy or the months prior to his mother’s remarriage remains uncertain.

The young boy, Cordozar, earned the nickname Snoopy because of his fondness for…

the Peanuts cartoon character. Singing and playing piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church marked the beginning of Snoop’s musical journey at a young age. In sixth grade, he ventured into rapping.

Calvin, as a child, sold candy, delivered newspapers, and bagged groceries to support his family. His mother worked hard to keep him involved in the choir and football, steering him away from gang life and street activities; however, during his teenage years, he gravitated towards the latter. He joined the Rollin’ 20s Crips gang from Long Beach’s Eastside. Shortly after high school graduation, he faced an arrest for cocaine possession. Over the next three years, frequent stints in jail or prison consumed his life.

Music Career

With cousins Nate Dogg and Lil’ 1/2 Dead, as well as friend Warren G, Snoop recorded homemade tapes, operating under the name 213, inspired by Long Beach’s area code at the time. One of Snoop’s early solo freestyles, “Hold On,” found its way onto a mixtape that ultimately landed in Dr. Dre’s hands. Dre, impressed by Snoop’s talent, invited him to audition and connected him with NWA affiliate The D.O.C., who guided him on structuring his lyrics, verses, hooks, and choruses.

Dr. Dre produced Snoop’s debut album, Doggystyle, which was released in 1993 through Death Row Records. It made an impressive debut at number one on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. The album featured notable singles such as “What’s My Name?” and “Gin & Juice.” In 1996, Snoop released his follow-up album, Doggfather, which also debuted at number one on both Billboard charts. Transitioning from Death Row, he signed with No Limit Records for his next three albums, releasing 1998’s Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told, 1999’s No Limit Top Dogg, and 2000’s Tha Last Meal. In 2002, he made a deal with Priority/Capitol/EMI Records, leading to the release of Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss. He joined Geffen Records in 2004, resulting in the release of R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta: The Masterpiece, That Blue Carpet Treatment, Ego Trippin, Malice ‘n Wonderland, and Doggumentary.

After a trip to Jamaica in 2012, Snoop declared his conversion to Rastafarianism, adopting the name Snoop Lion. He released a reggae album titled Reincarnated along with a documentary of the same name chronicling his Jamaican experience.

In 2015, he reverted to the name Snoop Dogg and released Bush. In 2018, he proclaimed his status as a born-again Christian and put out his first gospel album, Bible of Love. He launched his seventeenth…

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

Beyond his musical pursuits, Snoop has ventured into directing several adult films using aliases (Michael J. Corleone and Snoop Scorsese) and has made appearances on television as well as in movies, both in real-life roles and fictional characters. He has hosted various TV shows, including Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood, Dogg After Dark, WrestleMania, and Snoop and Martha’s Potluck Dinner Party. Additionally, Snoop boasts numerous commercial endorsements, representing brands such as Boost Mobile, Chrysler 200, Orbit Gum, and St. Ides; he has also introduced his own line of malt liquor, Snoop Dogg’s footlong hot dogs, the Snoop Dogg Board Company, along with several clothing lines. In 2020, he collaborated with the 19 Crimes brand to launch a wine called “Snoop Cali Red.” However, as of May 2023, the wine sales were below expectations and struggling.

In 2019, Snoop established his own esports league named the “Gangsta Gaming League.” He became a member of FaZe Clan’s Board of Directors in March 2022 but stepped down from the position in March of the following year.

In 2023, Snoop joined an investment consortium led by businessman Neko Sparks, aiming to acquire the Ottawa Senators from the National Hockey League.

Death Row Records

In February 2022, it was revealed that Snoop Dogg had attained the brand name rights associated with Death Row Records. The brand was acquired from Blackstone, a private equity firm, which still retains ownership of the label’s master recordings and music royalties. With the acquisition of the brand name, Snoop gained the rights to merchandise distribution and music release under Death Row Records.

Casa Verde Capital

Snoop is widely recognized as the most famous marijuana enthusiast globally, with cannabis being a significant part of his persona for many years. In 2015, he launched an investment firm known as Casa Verde Capital to oversee his investments in the cannabis sector. In August 2015, Casa Verde joined a group of investors that successfully raised $10 million for Eaze, a delivery service for marijuana that markets itself as the “Uber for weed.”

In September 2015, Casa Verde debuted merryjane.com, presented as “the encyclopedia of weed.”

Personal Life

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

Among Snoop’s first cousins are renowned R&B artists Brandy and Ray J, as well as WWE star Sasha Banks.

During a 2006 interview, Snoop claimed that he had worked as a professional pimp in 2003 and 2004, stating, “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 said about his layups. He mentioned that, following advice from some pimps he had known, he ultimately chose to leave pimping behind and dedicate more time to his family.
