Watch: Cardi B Gives Drip a Whole New Meaning With $3 Million Birthday Gift to Herself
Cardi B came through drippin’ to celebrate another year around the sun.
The Grammy winner said hello to 34 by gifting herself luxury presents for her birthday, including a seven-figure rare Rolex watch.
“From Belcalis to Cardi B…a gift from me to me!!” Cardi (real name Belcalis Almánzar) wrote in an Oct. 22 Instagram post, showcasing her gifts. “Thank you @Mavani for searching all around the world and finding me this watch, authenticated by Rolex!”
And the “Hello” rapper proved that she more than liked her new watch like that as she shared a video of her reaction to the moment she was presented the Barbie pink Rolex by jeweler Eric Mavani.
“Cardi, thank you for trusting me to find this watch for you,” Mavani told Cardi, who in reply expressed her gratitude. “Thank you for like, searching everywhere around the world.”
Mavani emphasized that the bubblegum pink watch—which features a pink strap, pink sapphires, diamonds and gold accents—was “impossible to get, but we got the task done.”
To prove how much finesse she’ll be drippin’ in with her new accessory, he shared insight into just how valuable it is.
“The official Rolex Daytona Barbie off-catalogue,” he explained. “There’s probably only 10 made in the world, but this was the only one available for sale and we made sure we got it right here for Cardi for her birthday.”
And Cardi—who was wearing a blue gown in the video—admitted that she maybe, in fact, the drama when it came to wanting Mavani to procure the watch.
“I want to say thank you because I know I was driving you crazy,” the “Bodak Yellow” artist jokingly admitted to Mavani, who replied, “Oh, you definitely were.”
As the celebrity jeweler put the Rolex on her left wrist, Cardi was being careful with her new drip, trying to hold still, admitting, “My legs, my hands are about to shake.”
And since she was born to flex, the mom of four flashed her pink watch, adding, “I deserve. I work so hard.”

For those who really wanna see the money, Mavani revealed the rare Rolex’s hefty price tag on his Instagram Stories, sharing a screenshot of his wire transfers from Cardi. The total? $2,850,000.
But the 34-year-old continued to prove that she likes dollars, diamonds, stuntin’ and shinin’.
Indeed, for her birthday, Cardi also gifted herself a custom oval-shaped 7-karat diamond ring designed by Pristine Jewelers, sharing videos of the stunning sparkler.
As for her third and final present? A bubblegum pink alligator Hermès Mini Kelly.
The “Up” singer is regularly open with the Bardi Gang about dipping into her moneybag, including showing of a designer bag haul worth over $187,000 in August, and buying herself an approximately $500,000 Audemars Piguet watch before she kicked off her Little Miss Drama tour in February.
“A little gift for me from me,” Cardi shared in a Feb. 9 Instagram video, revealing her new gift, “to set myself up the proper way for tour.”
