According to CNN, Snoop Dogg, 53 years old, is reportedly set to perform at one of Donald Trump’s inauguration events. He will join a lineup of famous performers, including Kid Rock, Village People, Billy Ray Cyrus, Nelly, Carrie Underwood, Gavin DeGraw, Jason Aldean, and others.
Snoop’s career spans early 1990s rap hits, a widely discussed friendship with Martha Stewart, and business ventures including Indoggo Gin, Death Row Records, Broadus Foods, and Snoopadelic Films. He has collaborated with well-known companies such as Corona, Grubhub, and Petco, and in 2022 acquired the rights to the Death Row Records brand, which released his debut album Doggystyle in 1993.
In a 2023 interview with Distractify, the rap mogul shared two words that he keeps in mind when approaching any business project. «It's the same word, but spelled differently», - he told the publication. «That word is funds. The business has to be interesting to make a lot of money».
Regarding his controversial image, Snoop says that any company he collaborates with is well aware of what they are getting into. «The companies that work with me know how I operate. They know the extra things I do», - he said in an interview with The New York Times in July 2021. «They know what I do in the hip-hop world and in the business world. They have to accept all of that when dealing with Snoop Dogg. That’s how I built my brand, so when you get Snoop Dogg, you get all of that. Just which version did you pay for? Did you pay for the kid-friendly, G-rated version like in 'The Addams Family' movie? Or did you pay for the R-rated version of Snoop Dogg that adults like? Which version did you pay for?»

Hailing from Long Beach, California, he was discovered by Dr. Dre when the hip-hop mogul stumbled upon one of Snoop’s songs on a mixtape. He auditioned and released his first album, Doggystyle, produced by Dr. Dre, in 1993. By 1996, he also released Doggfather, which debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. After his second album, he moved between labels, releasing albums under No Limit Records, Geffen Records, and Priority/Capitol/EMI Records.
He created the «Gangsta Gaming League», - a esports league, founded an investment company Casa Verde Capital, even starred in adult films under the playful aliases Snoop Scorsese and Michael J Corleone. He hosted TV shows (Martha's Potluck Dinner Party and Wrestlemania, among others) and had commercial deals (Orbit Gum, Chrysler 200, and more).
He has beer, several clothing and fashion lines, owns Snoop Dogg’s footlong hot dogs, Snoop Dogg Board Company, and a wine called «Snoop Cali Red» from 19 Crimes.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the rapper’s net worth of Gin & Juice is an impressive $ 160 million. The site reports that for his performances with longtime friend Stewart at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, he earned a whopping $ 500,000 a day from NBC, plus expenses.
It is unclear how much of Snoop’s huge empire comes from music specifically. However, according to the RIAA, the rapper’s «Nuthin but a G thang» has sold over 13.5 million certified album copies over his long career. Celebrity Net Worth reports that from 2007 to 2023, he earned between $ 8 million and $ 17 million a year. However, for a billion streams on Spotify, he earned only about $ 45,000
