‘Brodie the dog’ earns more than some NBA stars — Here’s his trade secret

An awesome moment that went viral was delivered by Brodie, a dog that won a dance competition during Monday night's Lakers-Knicks game in Los Angeles and is reportedly earning more than some NBA players.

The Goldendoodle Brodie made an appearance courtside at Crypto.com Arena with the intention of increasing both the dog's popularity and the value of the already profitable pet influencer.

Cliff Brush Jr, who goes as “Brodie's dad,” is the dog's proprietor. 

He claimed that Brodie gained over $1.5 million this year via social media platform revenue and brand relationships with businesses including Celsius and Viacom. 

Based on Statista, that amount exceeds the NBA minimum wage of $1.1 million for the 2023–24 season.

“Whatever he wants, he gets,’’ Brush said of the 4-year-old dog.

Even while Brodie is the primary provider, Brush is just as important since he makes the entertaining movies that are posted on the dog's social media pages, which have amassed a following of over 15 million.

His most recent visit to a professional sports event was the Lakers game.

Additionally, Brodie makes appearances at altruistic gatherings. Most recently, he did so at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida.
