Earnings from the 2024 Paris Olympics

During the 2024 Olympics, Snoop unintentionally emerged as a standout star after NBC enlisted him and Martha Stewart to provide commentary and interviews for the games. His popularity soared among American viewers engaging with the Olympics on NBC’s various platforms. Reports indicated that NBC compensated Snoop (and likely Martha) $500,000 each day for their services, plus additional expenses. The Olympics span around 20 days, including travel, meaning Snoop could potentially earn $10 million for just under three weeks of work at a rate of $500,000 per day.

Background and Early Life

Born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, Snoop Dogg’s birth father was not Cordozar Calvin Broadus Sr. as many might assume, but rather Vernell Varnado. When Snoop was just three months old, Vernell and his mother, Beverly, separated. Eventually, Beverly married a man named Cordozar Calvin Broadus, leading to Snoop being legally named Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. after his stepfather. The details surrounding what he was called at birth or in the months preceding his mother’s remarriage remain unclear.

As a child, young Cordozar was affectionately nicknamed Snoopy, owing to his love for…

The character from Peanuts is a cartoon figure known as Snoop. He started singing and playing the piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church during his early childhood. By sixth grade, he had begun his rapping journey.

To assist his family financially, Calvin engaged in various jobs like selling candy, delivering newspapers, and bagging groceries when he was young. Even with his mother’s attempts to steer him towards choir singing and football, away from gang activity and street life, he unfortunately pursued the latter as a teenager. He became part of the Rollin’ 20s Crips gang in Long Beach’s Eastside area. Shortly after finishing high school, he was arrested for cocaine possession, leading to a tumultuous three years filled with frequent jail and prison stays.

Music Career

Snoop, along with his cousins Nate Dogg and Lil’ 1/2 Dead, as well as his friend Warren G, created homemade tapes under the name 213, referring to the Long Beach area code of that time. Among his early solo freestyle tracks, “Hold On” featured on a mixtape that caught the attention of Dr. Dre. Impressed, Dre invited Snoop to audition and connected him with NWA affiliate The D.O.C., who educated him on structuring lyrics and constructing verses, hooks, and choruses.

Doggystyle, Snoop’s inaugural album, was produced by Dr. Dre and released by Death Row Records in 1993. It topped both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts upon release. Several hit singles emerged from the album, such as “What’s My Name?” and “Gin & Juice.” Following that, he released Doggfather in 1996, which also debuted at number one on both charts. Snoop departed from Death Row for his next three albums, signing with No Limit Records, 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. In 2002, he signed with Priority/Capitol/EMI Records, releasing Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss, and then joined Geffen Records in 2004, producing albums like R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta: The Masterpiece), That Blue Carpet Treatment, Ego Trippin, Malice ‘n Wonderland, and Doggumentary.

After visiting Jamaica in 2012, Snoop declared his conversion to Rastafarianism, adopting the name Snoop Lion. He produced a reggae album titled Reincarnated, along with a documentary of the same name detailing his experiences in Jamaica.

Returning to his Snoop Dogg persona in 2015, he released Bush. In 2018, he proclaimed himself a born-again Christian and came out with his first gospel album, Bible of Love. He continued his musical journey with the release of his seventeenth album.

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

Beyond his music career, Snoop has taken the helm in directing various adult films using pseudonyms like Michael J. Corleone and Snoop Scorsese. He has also made appearances on television and in movies, both portraying himself and taking on fictional characters. Among his endeavors, Snoop Dogg has hosted several television programs such as Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood, Dogg After Dark, WrestleMania, and Snoop and Martha’s Potluck Dinner Party. Additionally, he has secured numerous commercial endorsements with brands like Boost Mobile, Chrysler 200, Orbit Gum, and St. Ides, while also having his own line of malt liquor, Snoop Dogg’s footlong hot dogs, the Snoop Dogg Board Company, along with several clothing brands. In 2020, he launched a wine labeled “Snoop Cali Red” in collaboration with the 19 Crimes brand. However, as of May 2023, the wine faced challenges in sales and was not meeting expectations.

Snoop established his own esports league, the “Gangsta Gaming League,” in 2019. In March 2022, he joined FaZe Clan as a member of their Board of Directors, but stepped down from the position the following year in March.

In 2023, Snoop became part of an investment group, led by businessman Neko Sparks, attempting to purchase the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League.

Death Row Records

It was revealed in February 2022 that Snoop Dogg had secured the brand name rights for Death Row Records. He acquired these rights from Blackstone, a private equity firm that still retains ownership of the label’s master recordings and music royalties. By obtaining the brand name, Snoop gained the ability to sell merchandise and release music under the Death Row Records label.

Casa Verde Capital

Snoop is widely recognized as one of the most prominent cannabis enthusiasts globally, and marijuana has significantly shaped his persona over the years. In 2015, he founded Casa Verde Capital, an investment firm focused on the cannabis sector. That same August, Casa Verde was part of a consortium that raised $10 million for Eaze, an on-demand marijuana delivery service that brands itself as the “Uber for weed.”

In September 2015, Casa Verde introduced merryjane.com, which promotes itself as “the encyclopedia of weed.”

Personal Life

Snoop married his high school sweetheart, Shante Taylor, on June 12, 1997. The couple filed for divorce in May 2004 but later reconciled and renewed their wedding vows in January 2008. Together, they have 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 relationship with Laurie Holmond. He became a grandfather in 2015 when Corde welcomed a son with his partner, Jessica Kyzer. Tragically, Corde’s second son passed away just ten days after his birth in September 2019.

Snoop’s first cousins include well-known R&B artists Brandy and Ray J, as well as professional wrestler Sasha Banks.
