Cardi B reveals she spends '$3 million a month'
The rapper said on X Spaces, "People are saying I'm surviving off Shein deals and brand deals. I want to let y'all know I could wake up tomorrow, sign a contract, and have half of $65 million - or half of $70 million - in my account."
As per the details of the tour deal, the rapper could earn $1.1 million per tour date, $1.5 million for festival shows, and $65 million to go on tour, according to the outlet.
However, she revealed that she turned down the offer in the hope that she could earn more if she waited to time the tour with her long-awaited sophomore album in 2025.
She added, "I'm not taking tour deals until I announce my album because once I do, I know those offers will go up. You have to move smart. You can't act hungry when you're not."
Moreover, Cardi also posted receipts to show off some of her most expensive purchases, which included spending $200,000 on bling from bespoke jeweler Eliantte & Co.
She also spent $120,000 on Benny the Jeweler, who is known for working with famous rappers, and $65,000 from luxury resale website Adore the Couture.
