Cardi B Shares How Much She Spends on Her Kids
Big Costs for Celebrity Kids
Many fans were shocked when they heard how much Cardi B spends each month on her children. Cardi B is a famous rapper and singer. She was married to another rapper named Offset. They were together from 2017 to 2024. In 2024, Cardi B decided to get a divorce for the second time. She first wanted a divorce in 2020, but changed her mind back then.
During a live video on Instagram, Cardi B told her fans, "I have been single for a minute, but I have been afraid... not afraid I just don’t know how to tell the world." She also shared that she was pregnant with her third child. Her new daughter was born in September last year.
Cardi B is known for always saying what she thinks. She talked about her children and how much it costs to take care of them on a post on X Spaces on May 30. People wanted to know because they heard that Offset might have asked for spousal support, which is money after a divorce. People Magazine shared this news.
A Peek Into Their Lifestyle
Cardi B and Offset have three children: Kulture (6 years old), Wave (3 years old), and Blossom (8 months old). These kids have a very special life. They do a lot of fun activities. They have their own personal driver and take classes every week. Cardi B says she pays for all these things by herself.
She told fans, "Y'all want to know what's the kids' bills? Start adding." She explained, "My kids got their own driver. The kids' driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month." This means the driver gets paid $10,000 every month just to drive the kids.
She also talked about her oldest daughter’s school. Cardi B said that she pays about $45,000 for Kulture's private school each year. She said, "Kulture and Wave get tutoring four times a week. Kulture's piano class—that's $300 an hour, and she gets piano classes three times a week. I'm not sure how much gymnastics and Wave's boxing classes are, but I pay for that, too."

Cardi B also shared that her cousin helps to babysit the two oldest kids. She pays her cousin $3,000 every week to watch them. She also has a nanny who gets $500 each shift because she only works during the day.
She added, "This is not even including food. My kids have a personal chef that comes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. that I pay for because people in my house don't have time to cook."
There is more. Cardi B pays for a 24-hour security team to stay outside her house. This is because her family has gotten threats before, so they need to be safe all the time.
She said, "I bought that with my sweat and tears. You have left me with the kids' bill." This seemed like a message to Offset.

Big Birthday Gifts for Kulture
Gifts Most Kids Only Dream Of
For her fourth birthday, Cardi B and Offset gave their daughter Kulture a huge gift. They gave her $50,000 in cash! Many kids would be happy with a toy or a ball, but Kulture got stacks of money.
There is even a video of Kulture leaning out of a black SUV. She looks confused about why her parents gave her so much money. Cardi B asks her, "What is that?" Kulture calls the money a 'ticket.' In hip-hop slang, a 'ticket' means a million dollars.
Offset corrects her and says, “It’s a ticket? A ticket is a million, girl. That’s 50. Say 50.” They celebrated Kulture's birthday at Candytopia, a fun spot in Atlanta. Her brother Wave was there too. He was only 10 months old.

This is not the first time Cardi B has spent a lot on her daughter. For Kulture's third birthday, she got a special Hermès Birkin bag. This bag cost $48,000! It even had a rainbow with crystals on it.
Cardi B posted pictures of her and Kulture on Instagram. She wrote, "Me & my best friend for life." Michelle Berk, the CEO of Privé Porter, explained that Kulture saw a rainbow bag at a store. She wanted it, but Cardi B decided to get her a much fancier bag instead.
Michelle Berk said, "Cardi and Kulture were at Claire's, of all places. Kulture saw a small bag with a rainbow and started begging for it. In typical Cardi way, she didn't get that bag, but she called me instead to try to replicate that rainbow on a Birkin for Kulture."
She also said, "The Birkin is getting so big - so many women are finally getting one - that our biggest collectors are coming to us to create something that no one else has. It's that simple."
Many fans had opinions about the expensive bag. One asked, "If I had the money why not spoil them ain't that's what it's for?" Another said, "As long as they can afford it and teach her about gratitude and a good work ethic, go for it."
Cardi B Faces Trouble at the Club
An Incident at Angels Strip Club
In August 2018, Cardi B got into trouble at a strip club called Angels in Queens, New York. She was accused of starting a fight. Some people said she threw a chair and other things at other people. She turned herself in to the police after the fight.
Cardi B was charged with reckless endangerment and assault. On September 15, she pleaded guilty as part of a plea deal. This means she agreed to say she was guilty for a lighter punishment. Ten other charges were dropped.
The Reason for the Fight
The fight started when Cardi B met a woman in the club. She thought the woman was having an affair with her husband, Offset. The woman was working as a bartender with her sister. Cardi B was accused of throwing champagne bottles and other things at them.

Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for the two women, told NBC New York that Cardi B thought her fame made her above the law. He said, "Her celebrity status puts her above the law, since she has bragged to multiple people and on social media that she orchestrated these vicious attacks."
A Lesson Learned
After the judge made a decision, the Queens district attorney Melinda Katz said, "No one is above the law." Cardi B was sentenced to 15 days of community service. She also has to stay away from the two women and pay their court fees. This means she will not go to jail as long as she does her community service.
Cardi B made a statement. She said, "Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions. As a mother, it’s a practice that I am trying to instil in my children, but the example starts with me. I’ve made some bad decisions in my past that I am not afraid to face and own up to."
She also said, "These moments don’t define me and they are not reflective of who I am now. I’m looking forward to moving past this situation with my family and friends and getting back to the things I love the most – the music and my fans."
