Fans can’t watch the Summer Olympics and not catch a sighting of Snoop Dogg.
The Long Beach native has become a staple in Paris, where he’s been seen at many Olympic competitions, including gymnastics, beach volleyball, and water polo. He’s cheering hard for Team America, often captured while dripped out in specialty Summer Olympics gear, made by NBC.
Uncle Snoop has taken on NBC hosting duties during the sporting event—and it’s costing the network a pretty penny. But exactly how much?
It’s been speculated that Snoop Dogg is earning $500,000 per day at the Paris Olympics, according to X user @henrylmcnamara, who tweeted on Sunday, “Sat next to an NBC exec at dinner, he said Snoop gets paid $500k a day plus expenses to be here promoting Olympics. From ‘Gin and Juice’ to a few million to be a celebrity at the Olympics—what a world.”
Sports business reporter Darren Rovell seemed to be thinking close to the same thing. He quote-tweeted the original post, writing, “Sounds about right. Someone asked me how much Snoop was making.” He added, “First number that came to mind was $10 million.”
Rovell isn’t far off. With the Summer Olympics being 16 days long, at $500,000 a day, Snoop’s payday will be $8 million.
