Cardi B is the First Female Rapper in 19 Years to Top the Charts, she's signed a multi million
dollar deal with Atlantic records and celebrated by buying herself a bright orange Bentley
worth a whopping $240,000.
But Cardi B doesn't really need the new whip with her being chauffeured all over the world
in Cadillacs while staying at the worlds most luxurious of hotels.
She's splurged on some other ridiculous purchases including a $100,000 time piece, she buys
a new pair of red bottom Louboutins every couple of weeks ($2000 - $5000) and has also
spent some serious cash on a few other things...
At the time of this recording Cardi B's net worth is an estimated $5 Million dollars which
is astonishing because just a few months ago her net worth was pegged at $600K.
Which wasn't even that far off what the internet assumes my net worth is – so now ya know.
I'll still make my own The Rich Life video when this channel hit's 2 Million subscribers.
So the question with Cardi B still remains, how did he do it & where is all this money
coming from?
Well it didn't happen overnight with Cardi B growing up extremely poor in the Bronx.
I'm gonna walk you through her financial come up, where the money is coming from and what
she spends it on, here for you on The RICH Life, my name is Michael McCrudden & I got
a questions for you guys?
What was Cardi B's mom's reaction when she found out her daughter was stripping?
What did she do to Cardi?
The answer will be at the end of this video, now let's roll that intro.
Cardi B was born Belcalis Almanzar, on October 11, 1992, to a Trinidadian mother and Dominican
father.
The eldest of two daughters born to immigrant parents she had little money growing up.
Her dad worked as a taxi driver and her mother a cashier.
She was raised in the Highbridge neighborhood located in the South Bronx section of New
York City.
Cardi B was a bloods gang banger at 16.
She graduated high school and enrolled in college while working at a grocery store known
as Amish Market where she was making around $300 a week.
When she got fired, her boss told her that she was a good looking girl with a good bod
and told her to get a job as a stripper.
She was 19 years old with no money and in an abusive relationship.
She stated in an interview “I was practically homeless.
A lot of people think dancers don’t struggle.
We struggle a lot,”
This is the part of the story that leads us to Cardi B's first major investment in herself,
her boobs and her butt.
She started out at a club known as New York Doll's and she quickly realized that if she
enhanced her image she could make more profit.
I googled her bra size which first off, made me feel ridiculous and make me ask what I
am doing with my life.
Then I was shocked with the most popular result – 34F.
She didn't hold back.
The average cost of Breast Augmentation surgery in New York is $8000, I have no idea if you
pay more if they are bigger – let's just move on.
& now this video is totally gonna get demonitized.
Eventually Cardi B found out that there was more money to be made in the Hood Clubs but
when she showed up there she felt that she didn't have a big enough booty.
When asked by Charlamagne if her ass was real she said this:
“Na, you know I got me a couple shots, a couple basements, you know what I'm SHAYING?
Na, I got some shots out here.
In basements.”
I got no idea what basment butt shots would of set her back but she did later state that
she nearly died from the procedure and that the Jamaican woman who injected her with silicone
is now in prison.
Let's move on – cause at this point Cardi B was making money.
She was getting gifts from admirers including her first pair of Louboutins worth $800.
Prior to that he most expensive pair of shoes were $300 pair of Jeffrey Campbells.
If you follow Cardi on Instagram then you know another big expense of her is her nails.
She get's this work done at Nails on 7th Which must cost something feirce.
With Cardi having completed her full Glo Out transformation she had also started posting
to social media.
Let's take a look at some of her earlier videos.
She started off 2015 with 1/2 a Million Followers on Instagram and went from traveling as a
stripper to traveling as a social media star hustling to promote club appearances in cities
like Houston and Kansas City.
Television was quick to take notice and cast Cardi B as a supporting member of season 6.
She quickly won both the producers and the audience over and by season 7 was the breakthrough
star.
While on the show Cardi B invested in some dental surgery.
Cardi flipped the bill getting the best of the best work done with Dr. Catrise Austin
the New York City Smile Makeover Expert.
I have no idea what kind of earnings Cardi B took home for her work on Love & Hip Hop
but it appears it wasn't enough cause she walked away from the show after season 7.
She decided to set her sights on music in 2016 plus she was clocking in more views off
her instagram than she was off television.
She dropped her first mixtape in 2016 and worked
alongside Shaggy & Popcaan while touring.
She came out with her second mixtape in January of 2017 and signed her first recording contract
with Atlantic records.
On June 16, 2017, Atlantic Records released Cardi B’s commercial debut single, titled
“Bodak Yellow”.
On September 25, 2017, “Bodak Yellow” reached #1 on the Billboard charts and following
this they dropped on her contract estimated to be worth $5 Million dollars.
Okay, we have finally gotten to the part of what's she's spent her fortune on.
Her biggest purchase thus far has been her orange Bentley Bentayga S.U.V.
With what she calls Peanut Butter Interior.
The car is worth a quarter million dollars easily although Cardi bought it before she
actually learned to drive or got her licence.
She's picked up some custom Chains including this Power Puff Girl piece But there's more.
She's even dropped a 100K on a watch.
Now let's take a look at her watch collection.
Now some people might be speculating that a lot of Cardi B's clothing and jewels come
from her boyfriend Offset, when asked he had this to say.
That's right, you heard it from him - Cardi can afford to buy her own.
That doesn't mean the couple doesn't like to celebrate together.
The two have been spotted together partying at Strip Clubs throwing around stacks of cash
making it rain.
Cardi B wants Bodak Yellow to become a strip club anthem and to do so, I suppose it makes
sense that she's showing face at her old stomping grounds.
Cardi B is always on the move, but when she touches down in New York city these days she
can afford to stay at the exlusive Four Seasons New York or the Soho House which costs over
$1000 per night.
Don't ask her to stay at the Hilton though, she's boycotting them after she got kicked
out over allegations that she was smoking weed.
Also feel free to go through her Instagram to check out all her designer threads.
Cardi B has officially become America's Sweetheart.
She's sexy, she's funny, she's talented and she did it all on her own.
I gotta imagine her mom feels a little bad having pushed her down the stair when Cardi
first told her she was a stripper.
In the end it seems it all worked out.
