Rapper Cardi B has sparked debate after spending approximately £764 ($1,000) to turn her newborn son's umbilical cord into a gold-plated keepsake. The extravagant expense has reignited discussions about luxury spending among high-net-worth celebrities.
The 33-year-old Grammy winner, whose net worth is estimated between £61-£77 million ($80-$101 million), commissioned the bespoke piece from Mommy Made Encapsulation following the birth of her fourth child on 4 November. This is her first child with Stefon Diggs, the NFL star currently playing for the New England Patriots. Diggs, who signed a three-year contract worth £53 million ($69 million) in March, has an estimated net worth of around £46 million ($60 million).
