Cardi B Net Worth 2026: Catalog, $70M Tour and Grow-Good Beauty

Celebrity Net Worth estimates Cardi B's net worth at $120 million (updated August 31, 2026, checked September 2026). The biggest single piece is her music catalog, which the site values at about $70 million. The rest comes from touring, endorsements, film work, business stakes and real estate.

The number rose after a strong 2025–2026: her second album, Am I the Drama?, opened at No. 1, and her first headlining arena tour grossed roughly $70 million. Celebrity Net Worth had her at $100 million before those results.

Where the money comes from

Music catalog and streaming

Cardi B has released only two studio albums, but her singles have been some of the most-streamed rap records of the past decade. Celebrity Net Worth puts the value of her recording and publishing rights at around $70 million, supported by No. 1 hits such as "Bodak Yellow," "I Like It," "WAP" and "Up." That value is an estimate; she has not sold her catalog, and no sale price exists to check it against.

Touring

The Little Miss Drama Tour, which opened February 11, 2026, in Palm Desert, California, was her first full arena headlining run. Across 35 North American shows it sold about 453,000 tickets and grossed roughly $70 million, including more than $5 million from two nights at Madison Square Garden (Celebrity Net Worth). Gross ticket sales are not take-home pay: production, crew, venues, promoters and taxes come out first, and Cardi said during rehearsals that production was running several million dollars over budget.

Live appearances

Before the tour, one-off shows were a large earner. She has said she was paid $1 million for a private set of about 35 minutes at Miami Art Basel in December 2022, per Celebrity Net Worth. Forbes estimated she earned $28 million in the 12 months to mid-2019, placing her 13th among hip-hop's top earners and making her the youngest artist on the list at 26.

Endorsements and businesses

• Fashion Nova: clothing collections starting in 2018.
• Whipshots: a vodka-infused whipped cream she co-founded with Starco Brands, on sale from 2021.
• Brand deals: campaigns with Reebok, Pepsi and MAC Cosmetics, plus a 2023 McDonald's meal with Offset.
• Grow-Good Beauty: her own hair-care company, launched in April 2026 with six products. The first run sold out in under an hour (Celebrity Net Worth).

Grow-Good matters because she owns it, rather than being paid to promote someone else's product. In a September 2026 interview she said she built it so her four children would inherit more than music royalties and a few properties (People). No revenue figures for the brand have been published.

Film and television

She appeared in Hustlers (2019) with Jennifer Lopez and in F9, and was a judge on Netflix's Rhythm + Flow. These roles added to her income but are small next to music and touring.

Recent changes (2025–2026)

The past year has been the most important financially since her debut.

• Second album. Am I the Drama? came out September 19, 2025, seven years after her first. It was projected to open near 115,000 units but posted 200,000, making her the first female rapper whose first two albums both debuted at No. 1 (AllHipHop).
• Arena tour. The roughly $70 million tour gross established her as a headliner, which raises what she can charge for festivals and future tours.
• Own business. Grow-Good Beauty launched in April 2026.
• New single. "AH HA" followed in July 2026 (Celebrity Net Worth).

Her personal finances also carry obligations. She filed for divorce from Offset in 2024, and Celebrity Net Worth reported that no final settlement figure had been made public through 2026. She has four children: three with Offset and a son with NFL receiver Stefon Diggs, born in November 2025 (People).

Assets

• Atlanta-area mansion. Cardi B and Offset bought a home of about 22,000 square feet near Atlanta in December 2019 (The Root). It was listed at $5.79 million, and the couple paid about $5.5 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. How it will be split in the divorce has not been reported.
• Music rights. The catalog valued at about $70 million.
• Business stakes. Her ownership in Grow-Good Beauty and her Whipshots partnership. Neither stake has a published value.
• Court award. A 2022 federal jury found YouTuber Tasha K liable for defaming her, and she was awarded about $4 million. After Tasha K filed for bankruptcy, a plan called for nearly $1.2 million to be paid over five years (Celebrity Net Worth).

Net worth compared

A common question is whether Cardi B is richer than Nicki Minaj. By Celebrity Net Worth's figures, she is not yet:

So on these estimates Cardi B is worth about twice as much as Diggs. The gap to Minaj has narrowed since Cardi's figure rose from $100 million to $120 million in 2026.

How this figure was reached

No net worth for a private individual is audited. Here is why published numbers for Cardi B range from $80 million to $120 million:

• Update timing. Many pages still quote $80 million, a number Cardi said was "almost" right in a March 2024 interview (Uproxx). Celebrity Net Worth raised its estimate to $70 million in mid-2024, then $100 million, then $120 million after the 2026 tour, according to its published history.
• Catalog value. More than half of the $120 million is the estimated catalog value. A catalog is only worth what a buyer would pay, and hers has never been sold.
• Tour gross versus profit. The $70 million tour figure is gross ticket revenue. Her share after costs has not been disclosed.
• Divorce. Assets from the marriage to Offset may be divided, and no settlement has been made public.
• Spending. Cardi has said she supports family and friends and has large bills, which estimates built from earnings cannot fully capture (Uproxx).

We use the Celebrity Net Worth figure because it is the most recently updated estimate from a publisher that shows its history. Treat it as an estimate within a range, not an exact number.
