The rap superstar has reportedly amassed of fortune of $100M, and it’s because she knew her price.

“At a really early stage in my rap profession, I wasn’t making six figures for shows…if I heard there was one other rapper making that, I assumed, ‘you already know what? I get on the market and demand or command a crowd…but I also decided, you already know what? I need to be compensated well,’” she told Time in an interview.

“One thing I learned along the best way in business is the need so that you can be unapologetic about asking for the way much money you deserve.”

With an estimated net price of $2.6 billion, the self-made mogul knows a thing or two about having a money mindset. Through the years she’s preached the facility of manifestation, and shared the way it’s led to her welcoming wealth into her life.

“The best discovery of all time is that an individual can change his future by merely changing his attitude,” she said. This includes picking yourself up if you get knocked down — and at all times, at all times believing in your future success.

The super successful singer, actress and entrepreneur once shared she’s spent $30,000 in lower than half-hour while shopping at Bergdorf Goodman.

In an interview with InStyle, she’s shared that while she was within the mega girl group Destiny’s Child, she didn’t know much about money management.

“I lost my mind—when it got here to extra hair, fashion, I needed to have every part,” she says. “I remember just going completely nuts on trips to Paris and Italy, blowing like 30 grand in half-hour at Bergdorf Goodman. It was ridiculous. Eventually, I began to understand that my AmEx bill was really, really high and I needed to sit back out.”

Rowland added: “I remember so many individuals telling me that I needed to save lots of my money and invest — but I didn’t listen,” Rowland tells InStyle, laughing. “After I got certainly one of my first paychecks, I went to the food market and acquired almost every part that my mom used to inform me was too expensive. I purchased all of that shit, had a celebration at my house, and everybody ate up every part. I’ll always remember it, since it was fun and it was something I used to be capable of fund myself.”

The Queen has long been a successful entertainer (since she was a teen) but what lots of us don’t know is she’s been an entrepreneur since her 20s. She launched the Flavor Unit in 1995 and has since significantly expanded her empire to real estate, and production deals amongst many other ventures. She says her money mindset got here from her beloved mother.

“My mom has at all times been my champion. She was very smart and grounded. She said, ‘Save your money. Pay your taxes. Don’t put every part in a single basket,’ but she let me explore and be creative.”

The actress, director and head of her own production, Kerry Washington know a thing or two about getting what she knows she’s price.

In a Twitter post about Pay Equity Day in 2015, she tweeted a picture of herself with the caption “Equal pay for Equal Work” and Levo’s #Ask4more campaign, an initiative that encourages women to request higher salaries and end the gender wage gap.

She also spoke in regards to the importance of girls being financially literate.

“I understand how disempowering it will probably feel to not feel financially literate. Sometimes, as women, we just don’t need to be involved in the main points and don’t need to ask the questions. And since it’s not something that we’re necessarily taught, we’re unsure if it’s something we must always know…but when you’ll be able to at the very least give a lady the tools to walk away, then you definately can start to do this larger work.”

The transparent actress and businesswoman has at all times been honest about her life, including the financial aspect of it. In a 2020 interview, she got real about her funds and the importance of diversifying income.

“For the entire Oprah’s and the individuals who have just lots lots lots a number of money, most of us are one or two checks away from not having money to pay for all of our things, you already know what I mean? So this stoppage of labor and money is impacting marginalized celebrities essentially the most,” she said. “The actress continued: “I believe a number of people need to grasp the difference between fame and having money. And I believe this quarantine is basically revealing lots by way of – there’s a number of people who find themselves famous that don’t have wealth.”

In a Cosmopo interview, the actress shared that she realized her integrity was a key driver for amassing wealth, and making the precise money decisions. She once even turned down a multimillion-dollar payday since the substance of the offer made her “feel like s**t.”

“I’ve turned down, s**t, I’ve turned down $10 million simply to do a post since it didn’t represent my brand,” she told the magazine. “I turned down $10 million because my soul is price greater than that to me. My spirit, my integrity, how I need to have the option to take a look at myself within the mirror day-after-day.”
