On Offset’s birthday, she gave him a unique birthday gift. She gifted him $500,000 stacked inside a fridge.
It seems like Cardi B had a lot of money to spend this past December. Cardi B and Offset bought a whopping $5.8 million mansion in Atlanta.

In an Instagram video, she explained she had to spend between $250,000 and $300,000 to look as good as she does.
Fans of Cardi B spotted her at the 2018 Coachella in 110 carats of diamond Lola Bunny Chain priced at $400,000.

Personal Life
In early 2017, Cardi B began publicly dating rapper Offset, from the hip hop group Migos.
In October that same year, the couple became publicly engaged after Offset proposed during the Power 99 Powerhouse concert. However, TMZ revealed in 2018 that their marriage license indicates the couple married secretly in September 2017.
Cardi B later confirmed this revelation on social media. She gave birth to their daughter in July 2018.
Divorce
On September 15, 2020, Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset. In the divorce filing, Cardi requested primary physical custody of their daughter Kulture, child support, and an equitable division of assets because there was no prenup. They were already separated at the time of the filing.
But the relationship seemed to have softened a month later when the couple was pictured cozying up at Cardi’s birthday celebrations.
In a subsequent Instagram live, she told fans she was “crazy” and that the relationship was turbulent but added that he was her “best friend“.

Wow, Cardi B’s net worth must be impressive if she’s able to gift Offset $2 million for his birthday. I’m curious to know how she has accumulated such wealth. It’s always interesting to analyze the fortunes of successful celebrities and see how they manage their finances. I wonder if Cardi B’s net worth has been primarily built through her music career or if she has other business ventures as well. Regardless, it’s clear that she is extremely generous and isn’t afraid to splurge on her loved ones.
