When was the last time your net worth doubled in a year? Never mind. EXACTLY THE SAME. Cardi B, on the other hand, is over here with a net worth that is outpacing my credit card bill. So, how did she come up with such a large sum of money in such a short amount of time? Prepare to be moved and/or inspired by what you’re about to learn.

Cardi B has been living lavishly for a long time, thanks to her early music (she’s been releasing singles since 2015) and her stripper business – her net worth was rumored to be $400K in 2016. But that was before “Bodak Yellow,” the first song from Cardi’s platinum-certified album Invasion of Privacy, turned her life upside down (to reference the Fresh Prince).

Cardi B’s net worth was updated to $1.5 million on February 9, 2017, following the success of “Bodak Yellow.” They upped it AGAIN to $4 million only seven months later (in September 2017). Damn.

Cardi B joined Love & Hip Hop: New York in Season 6 (prior to “Bodak Yellow”), and while her salary hasn’t been disclosed, there are unconfirmed reports from tabloids (so, take this with a grain of salt!) that the Love & Hip Hop *Atlanta* supporting cast members earn anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. So Cardi must have made a good living as well!

Cardi earns tens of thousands of dollars per concert, which may or may not surprise you. For example, she earned $70,000 a day while performing at Coachella! She genuinely seemed to believe this wasn’t a lot of money, telling Sirius XM’s Hip Hop Nation, “This isn’t a lot of money.” “I have to put so much money into my stage set — my own money — that I have to send a check to Wells Fargo. Nearly $300,000.”

Her current net worth is $4 million dollars! However, given how quickly her career has progressed and the fact that she is sure to receive additional celebrity endorsements in 2018 (she already signed a contract with Steve Madden last year), expect Celebrity Net Worth to have to update Cardi’s page as soon as possible. They’re all busy because of her!
