Snoop Dogg Net Worth
Snoop Dogg is a rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, media figure, business owner, and actor from the West Coast. He is worth $160 million. A big part of that value comes from his huge song library. However, Snoop Dogg is a smart businessman who knows that spreading out his assets is the best way to not only leave a legacy but also get rich.
It was 2023, and Snoop joined an investment group run by businessman Neko Sparks to try to buy the NHL’s Ottawa Senators. He is also the face of a number of brands, such as Boost Mobile, Chrysler 200, Orbit Gum, and St. Ides. Snoop Dog’s name is also on malt liquor, Snoop Dogg’s footlong hot dogs, the Snoop Dogg Board Company, and several clothing lines. As of May 2023, the wine wasn’t selling well and wasn’t meeting forecasts.
Snoop Early Years
Stringer Calvin Broadus Jr. was born on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California. He is known as Snoop Dogg. You might think that Cordozar Calvin Broadus Sr. was his real father. It’s not really like that. The name of Snoop’s real father was Vernell Varnado. When Snoop was three months old, Vernell and his mother Beverly broke up. After that, Beverly married a man named Cordozar Calvin Broadus at some point.
Because Cordozar loved the Peanuts character so much as a child, he was called Snoopy. Snoop started singing and playing the piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church when he was very young. His first rap was in sixth grade. Calvin sold candy, delivered newspapers, and bagged food as a child to help his family make ends meet.
Even though his mother tried very hard to keep him in the choir and playing football instead of gang-banging and running the streets, he started doing those things when he was a teenager. He was a part of the Eastside Long Beach gang Rollin’ 20s Crips. Not long after he graduated from high school, he was caught for having cocaine on him. For the next three years, was in and out of jail or prison a lot.
Controversies
That’s easy to see why Snoop Dogg is one of the most famous hip-hop artists. Snoop has had a huge impact on society over the course of his more than 25-year career. His personal life, on the other hand, has been full of trouble. Though this happened, Snoop still started his music career in 1992 when Dr. Dre found a demo tape that Snoop gave to Dre at a show. As time went on, Snoop stopped making gangster rap and started making music that encouraged peace, love, and unity.
This is still clear in his work today. Many of Snoop’s songs still talk about drugs or drinking, even though he doesn’t rap about the same things he used to. This has made some fans disagree about what message he is trying to send.
