Snoop Dogg's staggering earnings compared to athletes participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics unveiled
Rapper and entertainer Snoop Dogg made headlines at the recent Paris Olympics with his high-profile role as an NBC sports correspondent and commentator.
Snoop Dogg, known for his successful career in music and previous experience in sports commentary, was not at the Olympics for entertainment purposes alone. According to reports, he earned an estimated $10 million for his involvement, with daily earnings of approximately $500,000 during his nearly three-week stint at the Games [1][2]. This figure is considerably more than the $38,000 won by a US gold medalist athlete.
NBC hired Snoop Dogg for his unique perspective and charismatic style, which was evident in his broadcasting skills at hockey and baseball games that went viral. His content during the Olympics was primarily shared on his personal TikTok page, where he amassed millions of views. Snoop Dogg also tagged the official NBC Olympics & Paralympics page in his posts.
In addition to his role as a commentator, Snoop Dogg performed at the closing ceremony of the Olympics. He is now officially the face of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
It's worth noting that Snoop Dogg's professional career as a 'professional blunt roller' received a pay rise due to inflation. However, his earnings from the Olympics far surpass this amount [1].
In a past incident, Snoop Dogg revealed that Dionne Warwick 'out-gangstered' him over misogynistic lyrics, showing that he is not afraid to speak out against inappropriate content [4].
Snoop Dogg's TikTok FYP consists mainly of footage from the Paris Olympics, and he has even ventured into the food industry with the creation of cannabis-infused onion rings [5].
With his impressive earnings from the Olympics and his continued success in various ventures, Snoop Dogg is making a significant amount of money from his stint at the Games, potentially earning up to eight million dollars [6].
