Early Life

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. was born on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California. He grew up in the city's east side and began singing and playing piano at Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church as a child. By sixth grade he had developed a passion for rap, recording homemade tapes with his cousins Nate Dogg and Lil' 1/2 Dead and his friend Warren G.

He attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School, where he met his future wife Shante Taylor. One of the demo tapes recorded with Warren G found its way to Dr. Dre, who featured the young rapper on his 1992 single "Deep Cover" and then on the landmark album The Chronic. Snoop's laid-back flow on "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" made him an overnight star before he had even released an album of his own.

Music Career

Snoop's debut album Doggystyle (1993), released on Death Row Records, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and became a West Coast hip-hop classic with hits like "Gin and Juice" and "What's My Name?". Over the following decades he released more than 20 studio albums, including Tha Doggfather, No Limit Top Dogg, R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta), and Doggumentary.

His long list of hits includes "Drop It Like It's Hot," "Beautiful," "The Next Episode" with Dr. Dre, "California Gurls" with Katy Perry, and "Young, Wild & Free" with Wiz Khalifa. He has collaborated with Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Pharrell Williams, and Justin Bieber, among many others, and holds 17 Grammy nominations plus a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In a full-circle moment, Snoop acquired Death Row Records in 2022 — the same label that released his debut album. He has since built out the label's publishing arm and launched a Death Row Records cannabis brand, reconnecting the catalog with the culture it helped create.

The pace has barely slowed. In 2024 he reunited with Dr. Dre for Missionary, their first full-length album together since Doggystyle, followed by Iz It a Crime? in 2025. April 2026 brought 10 Til' Midnight, his twenty-second solo studio album — fourteen tracks on Death Row Records and Gamma with production from Swizz Beatz, Pharrell Williams, Nottz, Rick Rock, Soopafly and Erick Sermon, and guests including Trinidad James, Peezy and October London. That July he teamed with Kurupt and DJ Battlecat on the single "Me N The Boyz," and he guested on records by BigXthaPlug ("6IXER PARTY") and Juicy J and Project Pat ("To Be Real Witcha"). His catalog passed 20.5 billion Spotify streams in August 2026, and he toured the US from August to December 2026 — San Jose, Glendale, Highland Park, Welch, Spokane and Everett — with select dates under the Mount Westmore banner alongside Ice Cube, E-40 and Too Short.

Beyond music, Snoop became one of pop culture's most beloved television personalities. His unlikely friendship and cooking-show partnership with Martha Stewart, which began in 2008, grew into the long-running Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party. In 2024, NBC hired him as a special correspondent for the Paris Olympics, where his joyful coverage of events like dressage made him a breakout star of the Games — he carried the Olympic torch and performed at the closing ceremony, winning two Sports Emmy Awards for the coverage. NBC brought him back for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in 2026, and he has also served as a coach on The Voice. His Olympic role kept growing: in December 2025 the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee named him the first honorary coach of Team USA for the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Games, where he returned to NBC's coverage with Mike Tirico, carried the flame through Gallarate, Italy, and revived "Snoop's Greatest Hits." His dressage segment with Martha Stewart contributed to two Sports Emmys for his Paris 2024 coverage. In September 2026 he hosted the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, and that December he performed in the NFL's Christmas halftime show alongside Lainey Wilson.

Business Ventures and Sports Ownership

In July 2025 Snoop became a co-owner and investor in Swansea City AFC of England's Championship, joining Luka Modrić in the American-led ownership group. He helped launch the club's 2025-26 home kit — a playful dig at Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds — saying the club's story struck a chord: "This is a proud, working-class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me." Beyond football, his portfolio spans the 19 Crimes wine partnership, Indoggo gin, the "Gin & Juice" canned-cocktail line and Still G.I.N. with Dr. Dre, endorsement and equity deals with Solo Stove, Walmart and Skechers, and Broadus Foods, the cereal brand launched with Master P. His 2022 purchase of Death Row Records from MNRK Music Group — financial terms were never officially disclosed, and the deal excluded Dr. Dre's and Tupac Shakur's recording rights — remains the centerpiece.

Wife and Family

Snoop Dogg married his high school sweetheart, Shante Broadus (née Taylor), in June 1997. The two met as teenagers at Long Beach Polytechnic High School and even went to prom together before Snoop became famous. They celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary in 2026.

The marriage has had its challenges — Snoop filed for divorce in 2004, but the couple reconciled and renewed their vows in January 2008. He has credited Shante with teaching him patience and the importance of family, telling People that she helped him understand "what family is" and make time for it.

Snoop and Shante share three children: sons Corde (born 1994) and Cordell (born 1997), and daughter Cori (born 1999). His fourth child, son Julian Corrie Broadus (born 1998), is from his relationship with Laurie Holmond. The family lives in Diamond Bar, California.

Net Worth

Snoop Dogg's net worth is estimated at approximately $160 million as of 2026, according to Celebrity Net Worth and corroborating outlets. That figure is widely described as conservative, since it does not fully account for privately held assets.

His wealth comes from many streams. Music royalties from more than 20 studio albums and decades of streaming provide a steady base, while touring commands six-figure fees per show. He owns Death Row Records, acquired in 2022. He co-founded Casa Verde Capital, a cannabis-focused venture capital firm managing hundreds of millions in assets, and launched his own Leafs by Snoop cannabis brand plus Death Row Records Cannabis. His brand partnerships span dozens of campaigns, and his media work — from The Voice to the Olympics — has become a major income source. Reported tech investments include early-stage stakes in Reddit, Robinhood, and Klarna.

As with all celebrity net worth figures, the $160 million is an estimate based on public information, not an audited financial statement.
