2024 Paris Olympics Earnings

Accidentally becoming the highlight of the 2024 Olympics, Snoop, along with Martha Stewart, was contracted by NBC to attend the games, providing commentary and interviews. Snoop, in particular, gained immense popularity among American viewers on NBC’s various platforms. It was later disclosed that NBC compensated Snoop (and likely Martha as well) $500,000 per day for his Olympic involvement, in addition to covering expenses. The Olympics span approximately 20 days, including travel. Therefore, if Snoop receives $500,000 for each of those 20 days, his earnings could total $10 million for just under three weeks of work.

Early Life

Born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, Snoop Dogg has an intriguing backstory. Although one might assume that his birth father is Cordozar Calvin Broadus Sr., the truth is that Snoop’s biological father was named Vernell Varnado. When Snoop was only three months old, Vernell separated from his mother, Beverly. Subsequently, Beverly remarried a man named Cordozar Calvin Broadus, and at that point, baby Snoop was given the legal name Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., after his step-father. The details regarding what his parents called him at birth or during the early months prior to his mother’s remarriage remain unclear.

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

the character from Peanuts, Snoop began his journey at a young age by singing and playing the piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church. It was in sixth grade that he took the plunge into rapping.

Calvin, as a young boy, helped his family make ends meet by selling candy, delivering newspapers, and bagging groceries. Although his mother tried her best to steer him towards choir singing and football instead of gang banging and street life, he ultimately found himself involved in the latter during his teenage years. He became a member of the Rollin’ 20s Crips gang from Long Beach’s Eastside. Following his high school graduation, he was arrested due to possession of cocaine, leading to a tumultuous three years characterized by frequent jail and prison sentences.

Casa Verde Capital

Regarded as the most renowned pot enthusiast globally, marijuana has been integral to Snoop’s identity for many years. In 2015, he founded Casa Verde Capital, an investment firm focused on his ventures within the cannabis sector. In August of the same year, Casa Verde participated in a collective that raised $10 million for Eaze, a marijuana delivery service that promotes itself as the “Uber for weed.”
