Making his debut as Snoop Doggy Dogg in the early ’90s, Snoop was discovered by Dr. Dre and featured prominently on Dre’s 1992 solo album, “The Chronic.” This opportunity paved the way for Snoop’s first solo album, “Doggystyle,” which was released in 1993.

2024 Paris Olympics Earnings

During the 2024 Olympics, Snoop became an unexpected highlight after NBC engaged him and Martha Stewart to cover the games through commentary and interviews. His presence, in particular, resonated with American viewers tuning in on NBC’s platforms. It was later disclosed that NBC compensated Snoop (and likely Martha too) $500,000 per day for his contributions at the Olympics, in addition to covering expenses. The event spans approximately 20 days, including travel. Therefore, for each of those 20 days, if Snoop is receiving $500,000, that would amount to a total of $10 million for just under three weeks of work.
