Initially entering the music landscape as Snoop Doggy Dogg in the early 1990s, Snoop caught the attention of Dr. Dre. He played a key role in Dre’s debut solo album “The Chronic” released in 1992.

2024 Paris Olympics Earnings

Snoop unexpectedly emerged as a standout at the 2024 Olympics when NBC enlisted him and Martha Stewart to cover the event and conduct interviews. Particularly, Snoop resonated well with American viewers across NBC’s platforms. It was later disclosed that NBC compensated Snoop (and likely Martha too) $500,000 daily for his contributions to the Olympic coverage, along with expenses. The Olympic Games span about 20 days, including travel. Therefore, if Snoop earns $500,000 for each of those 20 days, that would total $10 million for just under three weeks of work.

Early Life

Snoop Dogg was born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California. You might think that his birth father was Cordozar Calvin Broadus Sr., but that’s not the case. Snoop’s biological father was Vernell Varnado. When Snoop was just three months old, Vernell and his mother, Beverly, parted ways. Following this, Beverly married a man named Cordozar Calvin Broadus, which led to baby Snoop being legally named Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. after his step-father. The details surrounding what his parents called him at birth or during the months before his mother remarried remain unclear.

The young Cordozar earned the nickname Snoopy, thanks to his deep affection for…

From the Peanuts cartoon universe, Snoop Dogg is a notable figure. In his early childhood, he started performing by singing and playing the piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church, and he ventured into rapping during sixth grade.

Growing up, Calvin helped his family financially by selling candy, delivering newspapers, and bagging groceries. Although his mother tried to guide him towards singing in the choir and playing football instead of engaging in gang activities and street life, he fell into the latter lifestyle during his teenage years. He became affiliated with the Rollin’ 20s Crips gang from Long Beach’s Eastside. Shortly after completing high school, he was arrested for cocaine possession, leading to a tumultuous three years filled with frequent incarcerations.

Music Career

With cousins Nate Dogg and Lil’ 1/2 Dead, alongside friend Warren G, Snoop recorded homemade tapes, dubbing themselves 213 after Long Beach’s area code. An early freestyle track titled “Hold On” found its way to Dr. Dre, who, impressed by Snoop’s talent, invited him for an audition and introduced him to The D.O.C. of NWA, who taught him the art of lyric structuring and verse composition.

Released in 1993 under Death Row Records, Snoop’s debut album Doggystyle was produced by Dr. Dre, making a strong entrance at number one on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. It featured several hit singles, such as “What’s My Name?” and “Gin & Juice.” Following this success, Snoop’s next album, Doggfather, launched in 1996, also secured the number one spot on both Billboard charts. Transitioning from Death Row, Snoop collaborated with No Limit Records for his subsequent three albums: 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 and released Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss, later partnering with Geffen Records in 2004 to release a series of albums including R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta: The Masterpiece), That Blue Carpet Treatment, Ego Trippin, Malice ‘n Wonderland, and Doggumentary.

Throughout his career, Snoop Dogg has hosted a variety of TV shows, including Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood, Dogg After Dark, WrestleMania, and Snoop and Martha’s Potluck Dinner Party. Additionally, he holds various commercial endorsements from brands such as Boost Mobile, Chrysler 200, Orbit Gum, and St. Ides. Snoop has even created a line of products, including his own malt liquor, Snoop Dogg’s footlong hot dogs, and the Snoop Dogg Board Company, as well as multiple clothing lines. In 2020, he partnered with the 19 Crimes brand to release a wine called “Snoop Cali Red.” However, as of May 2023, the wine has experienced sales difficulties and has not met expectations.

In 2019, he established the “Gangsta Gaming League,” his own esports league. Then, in March 2022, Snoop became a member of FaZe Clan’s Board of Directors, though he stepped down from this role in March the following year.

Death Row Records

This acquisition was made from the private equity firm Blackstone, which still retains ownership of the label’s master recordings and music royalties. With the brand rights, Snoop gained the ability to sell merchandise and distribute music under Death Row Records.

Casa Verde Capital

Widely recognized as one of the most prominent cannabis enthusiasts globally, marijuana has played a significant role in Snoop’s identity for many years. In 2015, he founded Casa Verde Capital, an investment firm focused on managing his cannabis industry investments. By August 2015, Casa Verde participated in a consortium of investors that raised a total of $10 million for Eaze, an on-demand app for marijuana delivery, which markets itself as the “Uber for weed.”

The launch of merryjane.com by Casa Verde took place in September 2015; it promotes itself as “the encyclopedia of weed.”

Personal Life

On June 12, 1997, Snoop entered into marriage with his high school sweetheart, Shante Taylor. However, in May 2004, divorce proceedings were initiated, but they reconciled and renewed their vows in January 2008. Together, they have three children: sons Corde (born 1994) and Cordell (born 1997), and daughter Cori (born 1999). Additionally, Snoop has a son, 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 partner, Jessica Kyzer. Tragically, Corde’s second son passed away just ten days after birth in September 2019.
