No one does it better than Snoop Dogg, formerly known as Snoop Lion, when it comes to representing the West Side’s low-riding pride. The West Coast rapper, whose given name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., is from Long Beach, California, one of the original cradles of gangsta rap. Multiple chart-topping singles, over 35 million album sales worldwide, an active acting career, and other investments such as a variety of cannabis products and a youth football team named Snoop’s Steelers have helped Snoop amass a net worth of $143 million over the years. The accomplished rapper and actor has a few personal possessions, including an expensive collection of vehicles. Here are eight of Snoop Dogg’s most expensive automobiles.
Dodge Challenger SRT8
If there is one thing that celebrities are known for besides their jewelry and mansion collections, it is their car collection. At his California megamansion in Diamond Bar, Snoop Dogg has an impressive collection of vintage and sports vehicles. The celebrity’s first vehicle should not come as a surprise, given that nearly every American adores American muscle cars.
With a 6.4L Supercharged V8 HEMI engine, his Dodge SRT8 is a potent muscle car. This American classic’s engine is capable of producing 470 horsepower and 637 Newton meters of torque. It may not be as flashy as Dom’s car from Fast and the Furious, but it delivers a powerful punch! This vehicle begins at a price of $44,685 as a base price.
Tesla Model X
Next is the Doggystyle artist’s Tesla Model X, which was manufactured by the company co-founded by Elon Musk. In addition to being a high-performance SUV, the vehicle is also eco-friendly because it is one of the foremost brands in the gas-free electric-powered segment. In 2017, the Training Day actor paid $119,680 for his brand-new white Tesla Model X with 22-inch matte black Onyx rims. The Tesla Model X can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, has a range of 547 kilometers (340 miles), and a maximum power output of 670 horsepower – genuinely impressive for a fuel-free vehicle.
Rolls Royce Ghost
From Floyd Mayweather to Nikki Minaj, nearly every significant celebrity has a Rolls Royce Ghost in their collection of luxury automobiles. It is therefore not surprising that one of America’s Most Wanted’s former Deathrow inmates also has one of these elegant vehicles in his garage.
The ultraluxury sedan conceals a potent 6.6-liter Twin-Turbo V12 engine that generates 562 peak horsepower. The sleek yet monstrous beast of a car is produced in the United Kingdom and has all the accouterments of a regal vehicle. However, all this nobility comes with a hefty price tag. This exquisite automobile could have been purchased for between $312,000 and $352,000 by Snoop.
Ferrari 458 Italia
Why be a multimillionaire if you don’t have at least one Ferrari? It appears to be a mainstay in the garages of the majority of celebrities. Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber, David Beckham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ashton Kutcher, and Eddie Murphy all own this formidable Italian supercar. Snoop Dogg, the new proprietor of Death Row Records, selected the 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia as his personal speed demon.
The Italian supercar is in competition with the Porsche 911 and McLaren 650S for a good reason. Its superior performance is a result of its 4.5-liter V8 engine. Although it is a celebrity favorite that effortlessly turns heads with its elegantly sculpted design, the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is built for speed, and the steering is inspired by Formula-1. This street sweeper may have been purchased by the Doggfather for approximately $257,000, a pittance for one of the wealthiest rappers alive.
Polaris Slingshot
Not all celebrities are willing to spend a fortune on luxury automobiles costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some celebrities actually prefer to own a handful of “big boy toys” – playthings that aren’t too expensive. Introducing the Polaris Slingshot Snoop Dogg calls Batman, a three-wheeled vehicle with the force and speed of a high-performance car that weighs only 1,743 pounds and is the size of a compact car. It features a 2.4-liter inline-four engine that is capable of 173 horsepower. Snoop seems to know how to appreciate life without splurging on depreciating items, unlike other rappers who blew their fortunes on expensive cars and are now close to bankruptcy. The Polaris “Batman” Slingshot reportedly cost Snoop $27,000.
Ford Mustang GT
Certain items in life cannot be purchased with money. And one of them is a Ford Mustang GT Special Edition! The Ford Mustang is an exceptionally rare American muscle car. Funkmaster Flex was responsible for designing Snoop’s 2011 GT Mustang in 2010, according to hiphopdx.com. The components installed by Funkmaster allow the vehicle to reach 60 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds. Snoop Dogg, who continues to identify as a member of the Rolling 20s Crips, cherished the color blue. The Ford Mustang GT is essentially irreplaceable due to its rarity.
Cadillac Escalade
It is the Cadillac Escalade that musicians and celebrities frequently feature in their music videos. The Cadillac Escalade is a full-size SUV with an ultra-luxurious interior and a 6.2-liter V8 engine, which is very fast for a vehicle of its size. It is favored for its large size and sporty performance. This sport utility vehicle is a beautiful beast, as its horsepower is accompanied by 460 pounds of torque. Sadly, the Notorious B.I.G. was driving this vehicle when he was shot and killed in Los Angeles. Despite this, the Dogg spent the entire $76,200 on this vehicle. It may have been valuable.
Buick Riviera
When it comes to the customization of his vehicles, Snoop certainly knows how to go all out and produce an eye-catching result from an otherwise unremarkable automobile. It appears that Snoop already possesses an impressive collection of American muscle vehicles, such as the Mustang GT and the Escalade. Although the 1968 Buick Riviera is valued between $14,850 and $26,300, Snoop’s vehicle is anticipated to be worth a bit more due to the customizations he made, including a large painting of himself and his family on the hood. He featured this vehicle in the song “Vato” with B-Real in an effort to promote cultural harmony on the West Coast. Recently, in 2022, Snoop acquired Death Row Records, the production label he once shared with Tupac Shakur. Snoop has made some significant financial maneuvers on the side.
