Minaj and Kenneth Petty were quietly got married last year. Rafaello and Co designed a $1.1 million ring with Perry’s guidance, according to TMZ. It featured a massive 17-carat center with VVS2-clarity diamonds.

Earlier this year Minaj made history by becoming the richest woman in rap music. The rapper reached a whopping net worth of $100 million, Young Money announced on social media. Minaj’s net worth far surpasses Queen Latifah’s ($60 million), Missy Elliott’s ($50 million), and Lil Kim’s ($18 million).
