USA is thrilled
Snoop Dogg collects mega fee as an Olympic fan
Rapper Snoop Dogg is THE big fan of the Paris Olympics! Whether riding, swimming or playing beach volleyball - the 52-year-old American always causes a stir. However, he is also handsomely remunerated for this.
Because officially, Snoop Dogg is working in Paris for the US broadcaster NBC. Ten years ago, NBC secured the rights until 2032 - for an incredible 7.75 billion dollars. And Snoop Dogg is also cashing in big time.
13.7 million euros
According to a tweet by insider Henry McNamara, the rapper is set to receive 500,000 dollars - around 450,000 euros - per Olympic day. That would be almost eight million euros for 16 days in Paris. What's more, there is also said to be a fixed fee.
The "Bild" newspaper reports that an NBC employee has told it that Snoop Dogg will earn a total of around 13.7 million euros during the Olympics.
Sensational ratings
What does he do for this? Snoop Dogg sits alongside commentator Mike Tirico during the broadcasts and makes funny comments. He is also on the road as a reporter, having Olympic giant Michael Phelps explain swimming techniques, for example. And that obviously goes down really well with the audience!
Because in contrast to the games in Tokyo, NBC's Olympic ratings have risen by 79 percent. On average, 34 million viewers are now tuning in.
