Nicki Minaj Reacts to Cardi B's Billionaire Life

KL MEDIA

Transcript

00:00Cardi B's real estate moves have reached levels that even Nicki Minaj finds shocking.

00:04We're talking a $5.8 million Atlanta chateau, with chandeliers worth $60,000,

00:10a $5.85 million New Jersey estate with a $1 million renovation,

00:14and a $1.5 million Dominican villa with two pools.

00:18Here's what the multi-million dollar mansions of Cardi B really look like.

00:22The Atlanta Mega Mansion

00:24Cardi B's net worth in 2025 is estimated between $80 million and $101 million,

00:30a figure that represents far more than just numbers in a bank account.

00:34It represents validation, security, and the ability to provide a lifestyle for herself and her family

00:39that stands in stark contrast to where she came from.

00:42And perhaps nowhere is this transformation more visible than in her real estate portfolio,

00:48which has become a symbol of her meteoric rise in the entertainment industry.

00:52Let's start with the crown jewel of her collection,

00:55the property that truly announced to the world that Cardi B had arrived.

00:58In December 2019, Cardi B and her then-husband Offset

01:02purchased a palatial estate in Atlanta's upscale Buckhead neighborhood for approximately $5.8 million.

01:08But calling this place just a house would be like calling the Mona Lisa just a painting.

01:12This is a monument to success, a testament to what's possible when raw talent meets relentless ambition.

01:18Spanning an absolutely mind-boggling 22,000 square feet

01:21and sitting on nearly two acres of meticulously landscaped property,

01:25this mansion represents everything that luxury real estate should be.

01:28The estate features five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and four half-bathrooms,

01:33but those numbers barely scratch the surface of what this property offers.

01:37When you walk through the front doors of this magnificent estate,

01:40you're immediately struck by the architectural inspiration,

01:44a neoclassical French chateau design that wouldn't look out of place in the countryside outside Paris.

01:49Picture this, soaring ceilings that seem to reach toward the heavens,

01:53marble floors that gleam under the light of custom chandeliers,

01:56Corinthian pillars that frame sweeping staircases worthy of a Hollywood movie set.

02:01The exterior features symmetrical design with arched windows and intricate cornices

02:05that evoke the grandeur of Versailles, while the interior spaces flow from one stunning room

02:10to another with an elegance that speaks to both wealth and taste.

02:13But what truly sets this mansion apart from your typical celebrity home

02:17are the amenities that cater to every possible desire and interest.

02:21Let's talk about the wine cellar first,

02:23because this isn't some modest collection of bottles tucked away in a corner.

02:26This is a temperature-controlled sanctuary designed to hold between 1,800 and 2,000 bottles of wine,

02:32a space where any sommelier would feel right at home,

02:35and where Cardi can store vintages worth thousands of dollars each.

02:39Then there's something you definitely don't see in every mansion,

02:42an indoor gun range custom-built to cater to Offset's interests.

02:45This isn't just a conversation piece,

02:47it's a fully functional facility that reflects the couple's approach to security and recreation.

02:52The home theatre offers another level of luxury,

02:54providing a private cinema experience where the family can watch movies in comfort

02:58that rivals any high-end theatre in Manhattan or Los Angeles.

03:01Fitness enthusiasts take note.

03:04The property includes a full gym where Cardi can maintain her famously fit physique

03:08without ever having to leave the comfort of her home

03:10or deal with the hassle of gym memberships and public facilities.

03:14And speaking of comfort,

03:15the primary suite alone could serve as a luxury apartment in most cities,

03:19featuring dual bathrooms and walk-in closets that Cardi herself has described as boutique-like,

03:24essentially personal shopping experiences within her own bedroom.

03:28But wait, because we haven't even stepped outside yet.

03:30The outdoor spaces of this estate are where luxury meets leisure in the most spectacular way possible.

03:36An infinity-edge pool with accompanying cabana offers the perfect spot for those hot Atlanta summers,

03:41while a full-size basketball court provides entertainment and exercise options.

03:46Manicured gardens stretch across the property offering privacy and beauty in equal measure,

03:50while a cigar lounge, wet bar and spa facilities round out the entertainment options.

03:54The property even includes an elevator for easy access between floors,

03:58because when you're talking about 22,000 square feet,

04:01convenience becomes not just a luxury but a necessity.

04:04There's a four-car garage to house part of Cardi's impressive vehicle collection,

04:08which includes everything from a $400,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan

04:12to customised Lamborghinis and Mercedes-AMG models.

04:15But here's where the story takes an interesting turn.

04:18Despite all this,

04:19Opulence despite every amenity imaginable,

04:22Cardi B publicly stated in late 2024 that she doesn't want it anymore,

04:26due to infrequent visits.

04:28This revelation sent shockwaves through social media

04:30and sparked conversations about the reality of owning multiple properties

04:34when your career keeps you constantly on the move.

04:37The mansion was listed for sale multiple times,

04:40including an attempt in 2022 at the original purchase price of $5.795 million,

04:45though it was delisted when buyers didn't materialise at the asking price.

04:50This situation perfectly illustrates the complex relationship between wealth,

04:54property ownership, and actual lifestyle needs.

04:57Cardi invested in this property at a time when her career was skyrocketing

05:01and her family was growing.

05:02The Atlanta location made sense.

05:04It's a hub for hip-hop culture,

05:06offers relatively affordable luxury compared to coastal cities,

05:09and provided space that would be impossible to find in New York at any reasonable price.

05:14At approximately $263 per square foot,

05:18the mansion represented exceptional value for money in the luxury real estate market,

05:23but ownership comes with responsibilities and costs that go far beyond the purchase price.

05:27There are property taxes, insurance, maintenance, security, landscaping,

05:32and the simple fact that a house this size requires staff to keep it running smoothly.

05:36When you're spending more time on tour in recording studios

05:39or managing business ventures than you are at home,

05:41the question becomes, does owning this property make financial and practical sense?

05:46Rapper Rick Ross even expressed interest in buying the property in 2024,

05:50though no deal has materialised as of October 2025.

05:54The mansion's fate remains uncertain.

05:56Caught up in the complex web of Cardi's ongoing divorce proceedings with Offset,

06:01where Offset is seeking to claim either this property or another home,

06:05along with half of her assets,

06:06This Atlanta estate represents more than just bricks, mortar, and luxury amenities.

06:11It represents a moment in time when Cardi B wanted to prove something,

06:15to herself, to her critics,

06:17to everyone who ever doubted that a girl from the Bronx could make it to the absolute pinnacle of success.

06:23And in that regard, the mansion has served its purpose magnificently.

06:26Whether she ultimately keeps it, sells it, or loses part of it in divorce proceedings,

06:31this property will always stand as a monument to what Cardi B accomplished in those crucial,

06:36early years of her mainstream success.

06:38New Jersey estates and Caribbean escapes

06:41Let's head north to the Garden State,

06:43where Cardi made a move that perfectly encapsulates the complicated dynamics of her relationship with Offset.

06:49In September 2021, Cardi surprised Offset with a $5.85 million mansion in Tenafly, New Jersey as a birthday present,

06:56and then proceeded to invest an additional $1 million in renovations.

07:00Yes, you read that correctly.

07:02She spent nearly $7 million on a birthday gift.

07:05But this wasn't just about romantic gestures or flashy displays of wealth.

07:09This was about creating a family haven that offered something the Atlanta property couldn't provide.

07:14Spanning 13,000 square feet on over six acres of land,

07:17the Tenafly estate offers a more suburban, family-oriented vibe that's ideal for raising children in a more traditional neighborhood setting.

07:25With nine bedrooms and nine full bathrooms,

07:27this property provides ample space for Cardi and Offset's children, culture and wave,

07:32to grow up with room to play, explore, and simply be kids away from the spotlight.

07:37The property's amenities read like a wish list of everything a modern family could want.

07:41The chef's kitchen features professional-grade appliances that would make any culinary professional jealous,

07:46while a banquet-sized dining room offers space for family gatherings and celebrations.

07:51There's a library for quiet reading and study, a home theater for movie nights,

07:54and an infinity pool with cabana for those warm summer days.

07:58But the outdoor amenities take things to another level entirely.

08:01A professional tennis court provides both exercise and entertainment,

08:05while manicured gardens create a peaceful private oasis.

08:08There's even a playground specifically designed for the children,

08:12along with an outdoor kitchen perfect for barbecues and alfresco dining.

08:16The property's French-style chateau architecture features a double grand staircase

08:20that became a focal point in photos Cardi shared during the renovation process.

08:24The location itself offers significant advantages beyond the property's physical features.

08:29Tenafly provides easy access to New York City,

08:32crucial for someone like Cardi,

08:33whose career often requires her presence in Manhattan for recordings, meetings, performances, and appearances.

08:39Yet it offers the privacy, space, and suburban calm

08:42that would be impossible to find within New York City limits at any price point.

08:46This is the kind of strategic thinking that separates smart real estate investment

08:50from simply buying expensive properties.

08:53However, this carefully chosen family haven has now become entangled

08:56in the messy realities of Cardi's divorce proceedings.

08:59As of 2025, Offset is seeking to claim either this property or the Atlanta mansion

09:04as part of the divorce settlement,

09:05with the added complication that he's requesting joint custody

09:08and a designated primary residence for the children.

09:11The irony that a birthday gift purchased entirely by Cardi

09:14is now being fought over in divorce court

09:16is not lost on observers of the situation.

09:19But Cardi's New Jersey real estate holdings don't stop with the Tenafly estate.

09:23She also owns a luxury condominium in Edgewater, New Jersey,

09:26purchased for approximately $1.5 million.

09:30While smaller than her other properties,

09:32this eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom waterfront estate

09:34offers something uniquely valuable.

09:36Stunning views of the New York City skyline from across the Hudson River.

09:40The Edgewater property showcases a coastal, chic aesthetic

09:43with high ceilings, marble fireplaces, and custom built-ins throughout.

09:48The gourmet chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances

09:51and a marble island,

09:53while spa-like bathrooms offer retreat-style luxury.

09:56A private terrace takes advantage of those spectacular city views,

10:00and a modified basement includes both a gym and entertainment space.

10:04It's worth noting that these New Jersey properties

10:06often get lumped together in media reports as Cardi's New York mansion,

10:10particularly when discussing the custom $400,000 basement recording studio

10:15that Cardi showcased in 2024 social media videos.

10:19This professional-grade facility allows her to record music without leaving home,

10:23a valuable asset for someone whose time is worth thousands of dollars per hour.

10:27Now, let's talk about what might be the most interesting property

10:29in Cardi's entire portfolio from an investment perspective.

10:33In October 2021,

10:35Offset gifted Cardi a beachfront villa in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic,

10:39for her 29th birthday,

10:40with a purchase price of approximately $1.5 million.

10:43This property represents something fundamentally different from her U.S. holdings.

10:49It's not just a personal retreat,

10:50though it certainly serves that purpose beautifully.

10:53This is an active income-generating asset,

10:55a vacation rental property that produces revenue

10:58while also serving as a family getaway.

11:00The villa spans 7,000 to 8,000 square feet

11:04on 4 to 7 acres of oceanfront land,

11:06with 6 to 7 bedrooms and 6 to 7.5 bathrooms

11:10that can sleep up to 14 guests.

11:12The amenities at this Caribbean paradise

11:14reared like a fantasy vacation package.

11:17Two pools grace the property,

11:18a rooftop infinity pool with fountains and lounge chairs

11:21offering panoramic ocean views,

11:24and a ground-level pool accessible directly from the master bedroom.

11:27There's private beach access,

11:29a fully-equipped gym,

11:30and incredibly even a helipad

11:31for those who really want to arrive in style.

11:33For entertainment and recreation,

11:35the property boasts three tennis courts

11:37and a covered barbecue area with sink and grill.

11:40The gated community provides security,

11:42while daily maid and chef services can be arranged,

11:45with food costs additional.

11:47There's even an independent one-bedroom studio

11:49for guests who want a bit more privacy

11:50or for staff accommodations.

11:53The interior design showcases a modern fusion aesthetic

11:56that perfectly suits the Caribbean setting.

11:58Wood, stone, rusted steel, raw concrete, and coral stone

12:01combine to create spaces that feel both luxurious

12:04and connected to the natural environment.

12:06Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the property

12:09maximize those spectacular ocean views,

12:11while exposed wood-beam ceilings add warmth

12:14and character to the contemporary design.

12:16But here's where the financial genius

12:17of this purchase becomes apparent.

12:19Cardi has listed the villa on Airbnb,

12:22where it rents for $836 to $899 per night.

12:26This means that while she and her family

12:27can use the property whenever they want,

12:30it's also generating significant rental income

12:32during the times they're not there.

12:34Given the property's luxury amenities,

12:36beachfront location,

12:37and capacity to sleep up to 14 guests,

12:40it likely stays booked for much of the high season.

12:43This strategy demonstrates sophisticated wealth management,

12:46buying in an emerging luxury market

12:48where property values are appreciating,

12:51generating rental income to offset ownership costs,

12:54and creating a personal retreat all at the same time.

12:56The current market value could easily exceed $2 million

12:59given appreciation in the Dominican luxury real estate market

13:03and the improvements made to the property.

13:05What's particularly noteworthy about this property

13:08is that it appears to be solely in Cardi's name

13:10as a gift from offset,

13:11which means it likely won't be contested in.

13:13They're divorce proceedings.

13:15This villa represents the kind of asset

13:17that can provide both personal enjoyment

13:19and financial returns for years to come,

13:21regardless of what happens with her other properties

13:24or her personal relationships.

13:26Wealth, rivalry, and real estate reality.

13:30Now that we've toured through the physical properties,

13:32let's talk about what all of this really means

13:34from a financial perspective,

13:35because the numbers behind Cardi B's real estate empire

13:38tell a story that's just as compelling

13:40as the properties themselves.

13:42Cardi's total real estate holdings

13:43are valued at approximately $11 to $12 million

13:46based on purchase prices,

13:48though current market values could be significantly higher

13:51due to renovations, improvements,

13:52and appreciation in all the markets

13:54where she owns property.

13:56When you consider that her total net worth

13:57is estimated at $80 million,

13:59according to Celebrity Net Worth,

14:01with some sources suggesting

14:02it could be as high as $101.6 million,

14:06her real estate portfolio represents

14:08roughly 12% to 15% of her total wealth.

14:11This percentage is actually quite strategic

14:13from a wealth management perspective.

14:15Unlike some celebrities who overinvest in real estate

14:17to the point where they're house-rich but cash-poor,

14:20Cardi has maintained significant liquidity

14:22while still building impressive property holdings.

14:25This balance allows her to continue making strategic investments,

14:28handling business opportunities,

14:30and maintaining the lavish lifestyle

14:32that her fans have come to expect.

14:34Speaking of that lifestyle,

14:35let's talk about Cardi's spending habits,

14:37because they provide crucial context

14:39for understanding her relationship with money and property.

14:42Cardi has publicly discussed monthly expenditures

14:45ranging from $250,000 to $3 million,

14:47covering everything from beauty treatments and fashion

14:50to housing costs and family expenses.

14:53The child-related costs alone are staggering.

14:55Cardi revealed she spends approximately $300,000 monthly

14:59on her three children,

15:00covering tuition at elite private schools,

15:0324-hour security, proper nutrition,

15:05and the kind of lifestyle befitting children

15:07of one of hip-hop's biggest stars.

15:09Mortgages on her properties total approximately $46,000 monthly,

15:13which represents a significant ongoing expense

15:16even for someone of her means.

15:17But Cardi doesn't just spend money on necessities.

15:20She indulges in luxury with an unapologetic enthusiasm

15:23that her fans find refreshing.

15:25Post-divorce, she embarked on a spending spree

15:28exceeding $2 million in a single month

15:30on jewellery and designer bags,

15:32including $200,000 at Elianta & Company,

15:35$120,000 at Benny the Jeweller,

15:38and $65,000 at Adore the Couture.

15:41Her jewellery collection alone is worth millions,

15:43featuring pieces like a $400,000 Playboy bunny necklace

15:47with 750 grams of gold and 160 carats of diamonds,

15:52a $2 million Titanic heart-shaped ring,

15:55a $500,000 engagement ring,

15:57and most recently, a $73,000 Cartier watch

16:00gifted by boyfriend Stefan Diggs

16:02as part of a $189,000 Cartier jewellery haul.

16:06Her car collection, despite the ironic fact

16:08that she doesn't have a driver's license,

16:10includes a $400,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan,

16:13multiple Lamborghinis, including an Aventador & Eurus,

16:17a Bentley Bentayga worth over $300,000,

16:20and a Mercedes-AMG G63 valued at over $200,000.

16:25These vehicles often feature custom diamond-encrusting

16:27and vibrant color wraps that make them unmistakably Cardi's.

16:31This level of spending has led to rumors

16:33and speculation about financial struggles,

16:35especially given her ongoing divorce complications.

16:38Cardi has publicly stated that Offset won't finalize their divorce

16:42unless she pays his taxes.

16:43He owes nearly $2 million in tax liens

16:46and gives him millions in cash payments plus property.

16:49Offset has also requested spousal support

16:51and half of Cardi's assets,

16:53despite having his own net worth estimated

16:54at around $40 million.

16:56These divorce complications provide important context

16:59for understanding Cardi's real estate situation.

17:02When you're fighting over who gets what property,

17:04when you're dealing with demands for payments

17:06and asset splits, when you're trying to protect

17:08what you've built while also managing the emotional

17:11and practical realities of ending a marriage,

17:13suddenly that underused Atlanta mansion

17:15becomes more than just a property.

17:17It becomes a negotiating chip,

17:19a symbol of what's at stake,

17:20and a reminder of how complicated wealth can become

17:23when personal relationships dissolve.

17:25But let's zoom out and look at the bigger picture,

17:27because Cardi's real estate story

17:29doesn't exist in isolation.

17:30It exists within the context of hip-hop culture,

17:34where property ownership represents

17:35more than just having a place to live.

17:37It represents having made it, having succeeded,

17:40having proved everyone wrong who ever doubted you.

17:42This context becomes even more interesting

17:45when you consider Cardi's ongoing rivalry

17:47with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj.

17:49While there's no verified evidence

17:51that Nicki Minaj was directly shocked

17:53by any of Cardi's mansions,

17:55fans constantly compare their respective real estate holdings

17:59as part of their broader competition

18:01for supremacy in female rap.

18:03Nicki Minaj's primary residence

18:04is a $19.5 million estate in Hidden Hills, California,

18:09spanning 12,000 square feet with eight bedrooms,

18:12a guesthouse, saltwater pool, and spa.

18:14Minaj's net worth is estimated at $150 million,

18:18according to Celebrity Net Worth,

18:20with some sources suggesting it could be as high as $190.5 million,

18:25making her the wealthiest female rapper.

18:27Fans on both sides use these numbers as ammunition

18:30in their ongoing debates.

18:31Minaj supporters point out that her single mansion

18:34is worth more than all of Cardi's properties combined,

18:37emphasizing the exclusivity and prestige of Hidden Hills,

18:41compared to Atlanta's more affordable luxury market.

18:44They highlight that Minaj bought the property off-market

18:46for maximum privacy,

18:48with no floor plans or details available to the public.

18:51Meanwhile, Cardi's supporters emphasize

18:53her diversified portfolio approach,

18:56noting that she owns multiple properties

18:58across different markets,

18:59rather than putting all her eggs in one basket.

19:02They point out that Cardi's Atlanta purchase

19:04gave her more square footage for her money,

19:06allowing her to create the kind of amenity-rich lifestyle

19:09that would cost far more in California.

19:11And they note that Cardi's Dominican Republic property

19:14generates rental income,

19:16making it an investment rather than just a personal expense.

19:19The reality is that both approaches have merit.

19:21Minaj's single, ultra-high-value property

19:24in an elite market represents one valid wealth strategy.

19:27While Cardi's diversified portfolio

19:29across multiple price points and locations

19:31represents another,

19:33Cardi famously responded to wealth comparisons

19:35by saying she has condos in Minaj's head,

19:38implying she lives rent-free in her rival's thoughts,

19:41a perfect encapsulation of how these property discussions

19:44tie into their broader personal and professional rivalry.

19:47What's particularly interesting

19:48is how Cardi's real estate journey

19:50mirrors her overall approach to wealth and success.

19:53She started by purchasing a three-story home

19:55for her mother in 2018 for approximately $600,000,

19:59fulfilling a childhood dream and taking care of family

20:02even as her own career was just taking off.

20:04This wasn't about showing off or making a statement.

20:07It was about using her newfound wealth

20:08to provide security and comfort for the woman who raised her.

20:11From there, each property purchase

20:13has served a specific purpose,

20:15the Atlanta mansion to establish herself in hip-hop's capital city,

20:19the New Jersey estates to provide

20:21family-friendly environments near New York,

20:23the Dominican Republic villa to diversify internationally

20:26while generating income.

20:28This is strategic wealth building,

20:29not just random luxury purchases.

20:32And despite all the mansions, all the luxury,

20:34all the millions of dollars in real estate,

20:36Cardi maintains a remarkably grounded perspective

20:38on what it all means.

20:40She defends her spending by emphasizing

20:42that she self-made, pays substantial taxes

20:45and never received government assistance.

20:47She famously stated,

20:49I'm not surviving, baby,

20:50emphasizing enjoyment over mere survival,

20:53a philosophy that resonates with fans

20:55who see her as someone who refuses to dim her light

20:57or apologize for her success.

21:00Whether she ultimately keeps the Atlanta mansion

21:02or sells it,

21:03whether her divorce changes the structure of her holdings,

21:05whether she adds more properties

21:07or consolidates what she has,

21:09none of that changes the fundamental achievement

21:10of what Cardi B has built.
