Offset Net Worth (Money & Salary)

Curious About Offset’s Wealth?

Offset’s fortune stands at $28 million according to recent estimates. Primarily known for his involvement in the hip-hop group Migos alongside fellow rappers Quavo and the late Takeoff, Offset has been a pivotal figure in the music industry. The trio has delivered four studio albums over the years: “Yung Rich Nation” (2015), “Culture” (2017), “Culture II” (2018), and “Culture III” (2021). Migos reached the pinnacle of success, emerging as one of the highest-earning music groups globally, raking in a combined total of $25 million within a single year between 2017 and 2018. Tragically, Takeoff of Migos was tragically killed in November 2022. Not only is Offset recognized for his contributions to Migos, but also for his marriage to Cardi B from 2017 to 2023.

Background

Offset, born Kiari Kendrell Cephus, on December 14, 1991, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, enjoyed a comfortable upbringing in Gwinnett County. He shared this upbringing with his bandmates Quavo and Takeoff, who are actually family members; Quavo is Offset’s cousin, while Takeoff is Offset’s cousin once removed (making Quavo Takeoff’s uncle). Growing up, the trio drew musical inspiration from renowned artists like Outkast, Gucci Mane, Hot Boys, Lil Wayne, and Master P.

Professional Journey

Offset, Quavo, and Takeoff established Migos in 2008, initially naming themselves the Polo Club. After releasing their debut mixtape “Juug Season” in 2011, they garnered attention in 2013 with their standout single “Versace.” Subsequently, they dropped their first studio album, “Yung Rich Nation,” in 2015, garnering chart success. Their breakthrough hit arrived in 2017 with “Bad and Boujee” (featuring Lil Uzi Vert), which became an internet sensation. The infectious “rain drop, drop top” lyrics from Offset became a viral meme. Their sophomore album “Culture,” released in 2017, debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart and achieved platinum certification from the RIAA. This success continued with the release of “Culture II” in 2018.

Outside Migos, Offset collaborated with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin on “Without Warning” in 2017. The album, featuring guest appearances from Travis Scott and Quavo, peaked at No. 4 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Offset’s solo debut, “Father of 4,” dropped in February 2019, featuring artists such as J. Cole, Cardi B, and Gucci Mane among others. The album debuted at No. 4 on the US Billboard 200, receiving positive reviews from critics and fans alike.

In August 2022, Offset announced his second studio album and released two singles, “54321” and “Code.” Legal dispute arose with his record label, Quality Control Music, over his solo music rights. Offset’s legal team revealed that the artist had made considerable payments for his solo artist rights following a negotiation the previous year. However, Quality Control Music allegedly sought to claim his latest track as theirs.

After rumors circulated suggesting an affair between Offset and Quavo’s ex-girlfriend Saweetie, Quavo and Takeoff parted ways with Migos to form Unc & Phew. Tragedy struck on November 1, 2022, when Takeoff was fatally shot outside a bowling alley post a party in Houston, Texas. Offset postponed the release of his upcoming album. Reports emerged in 2023 of a physical altercation between Offset and Quavo backstage at the Grammys. However, the duo reconciled in February and reunited for a tribute performance dedicated to the late Takeoff at the BET Awards.

Entrepreneurial Pursuits and Diverse Portfolio

Beyond his music endeavors, Offset has ventured into modeling for fashion brands like Gosha Rubchinskiy, Bryce Barnes, and Lavati. He graced an episode of the TV show “Atlanta” alongside his Migos counterparts in 2016. In 2020, he launched a show with Quibi titled “SKRRT with Offset,” which features him driving around with celebrities in luxurious cars.

In August 2019, Offset announced his investment in the Esports organization FaZe Clan, although details regarding the nature and extent of the investment remain undisclosed. He has made appearances in two FaZe Clan YouTube videos. Offset made his acting debut on NCIS: Los Angeles and has supported emerging artists by collaborating with Axis Replay in 2020. Impactfully, Offset raised $500,000 for the American Cancer Society following the loss of his mother to bladder cancer in 2012.

Personal Life and Legal Challenges

In 2017, Offset began dating Cardi B, also an American rapper. They tied the knot in a private ceremony in Georgia in September 2017, but did not disclose it publicly until June 2018 when TMZ unearthed their marriage certificate. Despite the clandestine marriage, Offset publicly proposed to Cardi during a live show in Philadelphia on October 27, 2017. Cardi made their impending parenthood public on the TV show “Saturday Night Live” in April 2018. Their daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, was born on July 10, 2018. Offset has three other children—Jordan, Kody, and Kalea—from prior relationships. Offset and Cardi faced relationship turbulence amid rumors of Offset’s infidelity.

On September 15, 2020, Cardi B initiated divorce proceedings against Offset, seeking primary physical custody of Kulture along with child support and an equitable division of assets due to the absence of a prenuptial agreement. They were already separated by the time of the filing. A month later, reports hinted at a reconciliation. In June 2021, the couple revealed they were expecting their second child, who was born later that year and named Wave Set Cephus. However, on August 1, 2024, reports surfaced indicating Cardi had filed for divorce from Offset.

Encounters with the Law

Offset has a history of legal entanglements, including felony convictions for burglary and theft. Following a probation violation related to these felonies, he was incarcerated at DeKalb County Jail, Georgia, in 2013. In 2015, Offset, along with Quavo and Takeoff, was arrested during a Migos concert at Georgia Southern University. He faced charges of possessing a Schedule II narcotic, marijuana, a firearm in a school safety zone, and a firearm during a crime. While in custody, Offset was additionally charged with battery and inciting a riot within a penal facility following altercations involving another inmate. He was released in December 2015 after an eight-month stint in custody, having accepted an Alford plea deal.

In exchange for pleading guilty to inciting a riot and paying a $1,000 fine while serving five years of probation, the gun, drug, and gang-related charges against him were dropped. A condition of his plea deal included being banished from Bulloch, Effingham, Jenkins, and Screven counties in Georgia.

Offset faced a felony charge in April 2019 for possessing three handguns and drugs from a previous arrest in July 2018. Beverly Hills Police Department detained him in October 2020 for carrying a concealed weapon near a Donald Trump rally, but he was released shortly after. In 2021, he was sued by Platinum Transportation Group, a Los Angeles car rental company, for renting a Bentley Bentayga, delaying the return multiple times, and claiming the car had disappeared.

Real Estate

In December 2019, Cardi B and Offset purchased a home outside Atlanta for $5.5 million. The 22,000-square-foot home features five bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and sits on nearly six acres. Previously listed for $10 million in 2017, the house saw a significant reduction in price. Watch a video tour of the property:
