Nicki Minaj has a net worth of $150 million
Amid speculations about her financial status and the livestream where she flexed her expensive watch, it is worth noting that, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Nicki Minaj's net worth is $150 million as of August 2024.
Over the years, a huge share of Nicki's income has come from endorsements. In November 2010, she secured her first endorsement deal with MAC Cosmetics for lipstick. MAC reportedly sold the lipstick constantly for four consecutive Fridays in order to promote Nicki Minaj's album Pink Friday, which was released in November 2010.
Over time, she has endorsed several other brands, including Nokia, Pepsi, and Viva. In March 2024, Minaj launched her press-on nail brand, Pink Friday Nails. Apart from the endorsements, another share of Minaj's huge income came from her being a renter for about a decade. It was only in 2022 that the rapper acquired her own property in the US.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Nicki Minaj earned about $4 million in 2010, $6.5 million in 2011, and a whopping $15.5 million in 2012. Her earnings increased to $29 million in 2013. From 2014 to 2019, she earned between $10 million and $20 million each year. From 2020 to 2023, Minaj earned about $10 million every year.
Speaking about her financial troubles in childhood, Nicki Minaj told Vogue in 2023:
"You figure out the value of money when you come from a different country, and then you don’t have what the other kids have. God, please make me rich so I can buy my mother another house and take care of my family."
The Diamond Iced Out Rolex showcased during the livestream wasn't the only expensive item in Nicki's collection. In May 2024, Lifestyle Asia reported that the rapper had a huge collection of luxury cars, including the powerful SUV Range Rover SV Autobiography, Bentley Bentayga, and Lamborghini Gallardo.
