CARDI B REVEALS EYE-WATERING INCOME & MONTHLY SPENDING: 'I'M AN EXPENSIVE B-TCH'

Cardi B has lifted the lid on her personal finances, revealing how much she gets paid per show as well as the staggering amount of money she spends each month on living costs.
Speaking on X Spaces on Wednesday (November 27), the Bronx bombshell began by explaining how her relationship with money was shaped by growing up around drug dealers, who blew all of their illicit earnings instead of making smart investments.
However, watching them did give Cardi a "hustler mentality" which has powered her to fame and fortune.
"Every four months, I get a big fat check off of all the songs that I've dropped," she said. "Um hmmm. Everybody that was involved with the album, we all get a nice check. So I still get paid from my music alone.
"Music is my biggest revenue. I get paid $1.5 million to do shows in America. And it depends on the venue, because if the venue's big, I gotta get $2 million. If I'm going out of the state, I'm getting $2.5 [million]. If people are giving me money to promote something, I'm gonna take the money."
The "WAP" hitmaker then turned her attention to her eye-watering outgoings, saying: "There are bills and something to be paid every single fucking day. Even if I don't step out of the house, there are bills to pay."
Cardi proceeded to list off some of her many expenditures, including a cleaning service at her home, 24-hour security, a round-the-clock car service, a nanny who is paid $3,500 (presumably per week) to look after her 6-year-old daughter Kulture and another nanny who charges $700 per day to look after her two-month-old baby.
The mother-of-three also employs a full-time house manager and spends upwards of $5,000 on hair and makeup and at least $8,000 on outfits "just so I can step out the house.
Cardi further revealed that she recently spent $50,000 on Christmas decorations alone and splurged $2 million on herself in October - including almost $300,000 on jewelry from Elliot Eliantte - "because I'm divorced, I'm single and shopping makes me feel good."
The 32-year-old doesn't just spend money on herself or her home, though; she said she also financially supports friends and family, including coughing up $30,000 to bail a friend out of jail and retain a lawyer for them. She also said she's currently looking to hire an attorney for another friend.
"But you know what? Those are my friends. I love them. I love to help out, all the time," she said, before adding: "I'm an expensive bitch!"
Cardi B previously addressed her financial health in an interview with Complex earlier this year, in which she was quizzed about her reported $80 million net worth.
In her bashful response, Bardi didn't reveal a specific digit but confirmed that the figure wasn't far off.
"Uh, Jesus Christ," she said. "I made a lot of money! I feel like I almost passed almost $80 million. Like, I make a lot of money. I make a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of money."
