Snoop Dogg, a.k.a. Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has been a prolific figure in pop culture since he began his rap career in the 1990s. The performer’s stoner personality and iconic rhetoric have been idolized by many. Snoop is still recording music to this day, but he also has many other ventures that have led to success.
Snoop has become a successful businessman by using his reputation & lifestyle to his advantage. Some of his business moves may be unconventional, but Snoop currently has a net worth of almost $135 million, so something he’s doing must be working. Take a look at some of the craziest ways Snoop Dogg has become successful.
Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle
Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle is an adult film that released in 2001 and produced by Hustler. It features the music of Snoop Dogg along with the X-rated scenes. The porn flick was very successful and led to other X-rated films hosted by figures from the hip-hop industry.
Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle even won an AVN award for the top-selling skin flick of 2001. It’s almost unheard-of for celebrities to enter the adult film industry, but Snoop is not one to adhere to conventional behavior.
Snoop Dogg Board Company
Snoop may not strike you as somebody living the Skateboards Life, but he started his own skateboarding company called Snoop Dogg Board Company. The businessman cofounded the company with his brother Bing Worthington, Jr. in 2005, and they offer a complete line of skating products, including long & short skateboards, accessories, and backpacks.
They also provide Skateboards for beginners, which means anyone who wants to become a skateboarder should go visit Uncle Snoop’s store in Oceanside, California.
Gangsta Gaming League
E-sports are a booming industry at the moment. Fans buy out arenas to watch teams compete in games such as League of Legends or Overwatch. Snoop has shown to be a gamer himself, so it would only make sense for him to get involved in the industry. In 2019, Snoop created the Gangsta Gaming League to become involved in the e-sports scene.
Of course, players in the Gangsta Gaming League are allowed to smoke cannabis before, during, and after gaming competitions.
Merry Jane

Casa Verde enables Snoop to use his brand to help potential startup businesses in the cannabis industry succeed.
Snoop Dogg Slippers
Snoop started his brand of slippers with options like slides with cannabis leaves, slippers with a dog or lion logo, or slippers shaped like the Snoop Dogg logo. Call it cheesy, but Snoop Dogg Slippers’ design is pretty dang fly if you ask us.
