AceShowbiz - Cardi B has made no secret that she wasn't coming from a high class. Not ashamed of her bad English and grammar, the Bronx native, who was born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, has been catching flak for being "ghetto and ratchet," or as she called it just being herself. Growing up in poverty, she worked as a stripper in Manhattan and starred on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: New York" before pursuing her career as a rapper.
Thanks to her hit "Bodak Yellow", she gained her stardom and her debut studio album "Invasion of Privacy" won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, making the mother of one the only woman to win the award as a solo artist. She alluded to her rags to riches story on the said album, spitting in her opening track "Get Up 10", "I was covered in dollars, now I'm drippin' in jewels." As of 2021, her net worth is estimated at $24-30 million.
