Snoop Dogg Net Worth (Money & Salary)

Snoop Dogg’s net worth – What is it?

West Coast rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, media personality, entrepreneur, and actor Snoop Dogg has a net worth of $160 million.

Coming into the music scene in the early 1990s, he was discovered by Dr. Dre and prominently featured on Dre’s solo debut album, “The Chronic.” This exposure paved the way for Snoop Dogg’s debut album, “Doggystyle,” which was released in 1993 and achieved quadruple platinum status. His unique laid-back vocal style and imaginative lyrics established him as a key figure in the emerging G-funk genre.

Throughout the years, Snoop has created numerous hit singles and albums spanning various genres aside from rap, including reggae and gospel. His career has expanded into television and film, with roles in projects like “Starsky & Hutch” and hosting duties for shows like “Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party” (featuring Martha Stewart). Alongside his entertainment career, Snoop Dogg is recognized for his ventures in the cannabis industry.

Snoop Dogg’s Early Life

Birthed as Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, Snoop Dogg’s origin story reveals interesting details. His birth father wasn’t Cordozar Calvin Broadus Sr.; instead, it was Vernell Varnado, who split from Snoop’s mother, Beverly, when Snoop was just three months old. After Beverly married Cordozar Calvin Broadus, the baby legally carried the name Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. following his step-father. The exact name Snoop was called before that period remains undocumented.

Young Cordozar, affectionately nicknamed Snoopy for his love of the Peanuts character, began singing and playing piano at Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church.

In sixth grade, his foray into rapping began.

Calvin engaged in activities like selling candy, delivering newspapers, and bagging groceries during childhood to support his family financially. Despite his mother’s efforts to direct him towards singing in the choir and playing football rather than engaging in gang activities, Snoop started down that path during his teenage years. A member of the Rollin’ 20s Crips gang from Long Beach’s Eastside area, he faced legal troubles for cocaine possession shortly after high school graduation, leading to frequent stints in jail or prison over the next three years.

Snoop Dogg’s Music Journey

Snoop, alongside cousins Nate Dogg and Lil’ 1/2 Dead and friend Warren G, recorded homemade tapes under the moniker 213, named after Long Beach’s area code at that time. One of Snoop’s preliminary solo freestyle tracks, “Hold On,” found its way onto a mixtape that impressed Dr. Dre, leading to an audition and an introduction to NWA affiliate The D.O.C., who mentored him in lyric structuring.

His debut album, “Doggystyle,” produced by Dr. Dre and released in 1993 under Death Row Records, secured the top spot on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Featuring hits like “What’s My Name?” and “Gin & Juice,” the album catapulted Snoop’s career. Subsequent albums like “Doggfather” and his No Limit Records phase further solidified his musical legacy. His shifts to different record labels like Priority/Capitol/EMI Records and Geffen Records led to the release of more albums, showcasing his versatility.

Besides music, Snoop’s involvement in coaching youth football, high school football, and roles in various television shows and movies reflect his multifaceted career. His foray into other industries through commercial endorsements, including his own products like Snoop Cali Red wine, Snoop Dogg’s footlong hot dogs, Snoop Dogg Board Company, and clothing lines, exemplify his entrepreneurial spirit and creative endeavors.

Personal Life

Since June 12, 1997, Snoop has been married to Shante Taylor, his high school sweetheart. They initially filed for divorce in May 2004 but later renewed their wedding vows in January 2008. They share three children: Corde (1994) and Cordell (1997), their sons, and Cori (1999), their daughter. Additionally, Snoop has a son named Julian Corrie Broadus (1998) from his relationship with Laurie Holmond. His grandson was born in 2015 from his son Corde and girlfriend Jessica Kyzer, who tragically lost their second son in September 2019, just ten days after birth.

Notably, Snoop is first cousins with R&B artists Brandy and Ray J, as well as professional wrestler Sasha Banks.

Throughout his career, Snoop has been known for his affinity for cannabis, which has become a defining aspect of his public persona.

In a 2006 interview, Snoop mentioned that he worked as a professional pimp during 2003 and 2004, describing it as a natural fit and enjoyable experience. Yet, following advice from fellow pimps, he decided to leave that lifestyle behind to prioritize spending time with his family.

Furthermore, Snoop actively engages with the community, teaming up with city officials to distribute Thanksgiving turkeys to those in need in Inglewood, California, an event where he gave away 3000 turkeys in 2016.
