When Cardi B and Stefon Diggs stepped out courtside at Madison Square Garden, the buzz wasn't just about their official debut as a couple — it was about the dollars. Fans celebrated the unlikely but exciting match between the rap queen and the NFL star, but social media quickly zeroed in on their bank accounts.
The consensus? Cardi B is clearly the one bringing the bigger bag.
Cardi B's $101 million empire overshadows her new beau's NFL millions
Cardi B has never been shy about her money moves, and 2025 is no different. According to CEO Today, the Bronx-born rapper now boasts a net worth of $101.6 million, second only to Nicki Minaj in the female rap world. From music to brand deals to fashion, Cardi has built herself into a full-blown empire.
When fan account @BardiDetails posted about her new nine-figure milestone, Cardi chimed in with confidence: 'And when that tour hits …..'
followed by flying cash emojis, hinting that her wealth is still growing.
Her financial muscle comes from more than just hit singles. Cardi's endorsements, streaming royalties, fashion collaborations, and upcoming tour revenue are all part of her rapid financial rise.
Stefon Diggs isn't broke, but the gap is hard to ignore
On the other side of the relationship, Stefon Diggs brings plenty of financial success — just not Cardi-level. The Houston Texans wide receiver holds an estimated net worth of $38 million in 2025.
Though that's nothing to scoff at, it still prompted fans to wonder if Cardi's carrying more than just the vibe.
To his credit, Diggs has earned over $137 million throughout his NFL career, which includes his time with the Vikings, Bills, and now the Texans. In 2022, he inked a $96 million extension before being traded to Houston in 2024. His endorsement deals — including Nike, Verizon, and Old Spice — bring in a few extra million, according to Forbes.
The internet doesn't miss a beat, and users have been quick to ask: 'Is Cardi paying the bills?' Some jested about Diggs needing a feature on her next album, while others praised the duo for ignoring the noise and embracing their relationship in public.
