Cardi B spends thousands a month on her children in order to fund their lavish lifestyles. Celebrity children often experience luxury beyond most families’ means, with lifestyle costs that can reach extraordinary levels.
The 32-year-old rapper has Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, as well as 8-month-old Blossom with Offset, and took to social media to break down the monthly expenses she has for her children, whilst alleging that her estranged husband does not contribute. High-net-worth individuals typically prioritize premium childcare and education services for their families.
Cardi B breaks down the bills
“Y’all want to know what’s the kids’ bills? Start adding. My kids got their own driver. The kids’ driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month. So that’s $10,000 a month just on a driver for my kids. Kulture’s school, this year, you didn’t pay for it, that’s $45,000. Wave’s is $35,000 and you didn’t help me pay for it at all,” she said, speaking in a series of posts that surfaced on X Spaces. Private school tuition in major metropolitan areas often commands premium rates for elite institutions that cater to celebrity families.
“My cousin babysits Wave and Kulture. She gets paid $3,000 a week,” she continued, revealing the extensive childcare arrangements. Professional childcare providers in celebrity households often earn substantially more than standard rates due to the specialized nature of their services.
“The nanny was $700 a day but because she’s only staying in the daytime, $500. The baby’s nanny is $500 a day now because she’s not staying the whole day,” Cardi explained. High-end childcare services in cities like Los Angeles and New York command premium rates due to specialized training and discretion requirements.
“Kulture and Wave gets tutoring four times a week. By the hour, so that’s two hours. Each hour is $250, count that out. It’s four times a week,” she detailed. Private tutoring for affluent families often involves specialized educators with advanced credentials and proven track records.
Cardi says Offset hasn’t supported kids
The “WAP” hitmaker hit out at Offset — whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus — amid his request for spousal support, and insisted that she hasn’t had any sort of financial support from her former husband for more than a year. Celebrity divorce proceedings often involve complex financial arrangements regarding child support and lifestyle maintenance.
“Kulture’s piano class — that’s $300 an hour, and she gets piano classes three times a week. I’m not sure how much is gymnastics and Wave’s boxing classes, but I pay for that, too. You have left me with that bill for a whole year. Have I asked you for anything this whole thing? Kiari, have I asked you for anything? You want spousal support so bad,” she continued. Elite music instruction typically involves renowned instructors with prestigious backgrounds and extensive experience.
“This is not even including food. My kids have a personal chef that come from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. that I pay for because people in my house don’t have time to cook,” Cardi revealed. Personal chefs for celebrity families specialize in creating nutritious, customized meals while accommodating busy schedules and dietary preferences.
“You haven’t helped me with a bill for a whole entire year!” she concluded her emotional breakdown of expenses. The revelation highlights the astronomical costs associated with maintaining celebrity children’s lifestyles, far exceeding typical family budgets.
The couple’s financial dispute comes amid their ongoing divorce proceedings, which began earlier this year. Cardi filed for divorce seeking primary custody of their three children, citing relationship challenges that have played out in the public eye.
Industry insiders note that celebrity child support cases often set precedents for maintaining extravagant lifestyles established during marriage. Courts typically consider the children’s accustomed standard of living when determining support arrangements, ensuring continuity in their upbringing despite parental separation.
The breakdown also illustrates the unique challenges faced by celebrity parents in providing security, privacy, and elite education for their children while navigating public scrutiny. Celebrity families often require specialized services that go beyond typical childcare needs, including security considerations and privacy protection.
Financial experts observe that celebrity parents often invest heavily in their children’s education and enrichment activities, viewing these expenses as investments in their future development. This includes access to top-tier schools, specialized instruction, and extracurricular activities that provide comprehensive development opportunities.
The public revelation of these expenses also sheds light on the realities of co-parenting in high-profile relationships, where financial responsibilities and lifestyle maintenance become complex negotiations between former partners who remain in the public spotlight.
