Just like she told us in her 2018 hit “Money,” there’s nothing in this world that Cardi B likes more than cheques, except maybe surprise gifts.

That’s why her birthday present from her husband, Offset, was the perfect gift for his now 29-year-old bride — giving her a $2 million (US$1.49m) property in the Dominican Republic.

The “WAP” singer had long wanted a rental property in the Caribbean, she wrote on Instagram.

“For a hot minute now I’ve been telling ‘Set’ that I really want to invest in short term home rental properties in the DR and other Caribbean countries (since people vacation all year around in those locations), but I felt like he didn’t agree with me and would rather put money into other investments,” she explained in a lengthy post. “Well, I was wrong.”

It’s unknown how much Offset spent on the seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion, but the 745 sqm hillside property had been listed for US$1.49 million.

The Las Terrenas home, called Calle Plaza, is currently on Airbnb for $836 a night.

“I’m so happy that you were actually really listening to me and not just smiling and nodding your head so I could stop talkin’ to you about it,” Cardi wrote the morning after her dancehall-themed birthday party. “You don’t think my investment ideas are wack.”

The “Bodak Yellow” singer’s dad, who was born in the Dominican Republic, helped purchase the new house, she said on Instagram.

“Happy birthday Mrs. Cephus I love you so much I value you so much... great mother, hard working hustler you never settle, you’re funny and encouraging Thank God for you,” Offset wrote on Instagram for her birthday.

The Grammy-winning singer’s net worth is unknown, but she made $28 million in 2019 alone, according to Forbes, and she owns a $5.5 million Atlanta mansion, which recently flooded.
