Cardi B is one of the most influential rappers today, but getting to where she is now wasn't easy. Before earning millions of dollars from making music, she used to work as a stripper. Now that she's making hard cash, which she truly deserves, many are still wondering how much her net worth is.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the rapper has an estimated net worth of $40 million. She first started making big money out of her social media presence, using Vine and Instagram to post random videos of herself.

She became a regular cast member of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: New York" in 2015. Her success didn't stop after her smash hit "Bodak Yellow" dominated the charts and received an RIAA diamond certification.

Aside from making money off her music career, as all of her discographies are accessible through popular streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, The Things reported that Cardi B earns millions of dollars from her OnlyFans account.

The musician joined the platform in 2020 not to post racy or nude photos but to discuss topics like her career, personal struggles, surgery, and more. She's also using the app to interact with fans through Q&As.

Since Cardi B is considered an A-lister in the industry, she's using her hard-earned money to splurge on luxurious and sometimes strange items.

Cheat Sheet reported that the rapper spends thousands of dollars to "look good" and maintain her beauty for her fans' delight.

The musician, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, said her monthly bills could go up from $250,000 to $300,000 on beauty products and fashion alone.

One of the bizarre ways she used her money is during Offset's birthday. Showbiz Cheatsheet noted that the rapper gifted her husband a whopping $500,000 cash, all stacked in a refrigerator.

Since Cardi B is now a proud mom of two, she never forgets to spend money on her children. The outlet reported that the "Rumors" hitmaker loves to shower her daughter Kulture with expensive gifts.

Some of the things she's given to her daughter are a Versace changing bag and dress, a Givenchy teddy bear, and a custom recliner, which totals $7,200.

She also gave her daughter a pendant necklace designed with cartoon characters that cost a shocking $100,000.
