Cassie Net Worth $4 Million
Cassie began her career as a model at the young age of 14. When she was 16, she was modelling for the teenage magazine “Seventeen”, and “Delia’s” catalogue. At that time, she decided to take vocal and modern ballet classes. After finishing high school, Cassie continued learning in New York’s “Broadway Dance Centre” as well as further pursuing her modelling career. Cassie’s career as a singer began in 2002, when she sang a duet with Ryan Leslie which lead to her signing a contract with the “Next Selection Lifestyle Group” company. Leslie wrote and produced both her first single “You & Me”, and her first album “Cassie”, which was recorded with Diddy and released in 2006. The album was a success, especially the main single “You & Me”, which sold about one million copies through downloads, and significantly raised Cassie’s net worth.
Between 2007 and 2012, she worked with numerous producers and artists such as Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, Diddy, Akon, Ernie Hudson and many others, trying to produce a new album. During that time she released a few singles which unfortunately haven’t made it to the top charts. Her debut as an actress in the 2008 dance movie “Step Up 2: The Streets” had a positive influence on her net worth, mostly because as well as acting, she recorded a song for the movie’s soundtrack entitled “It Is You” which became popular in Canada and the UK. In 2012, Cassie explained to the public that she had been working on another album, a mix tape entitled “RockaByeBaby” which she then released in 2013. She has collaborated with many famous musicians such as Wiz Khalifa, French Montana, Rick Ross, Ester Dean and Meek Mill in some of the singles of her new album. 2013 was a year when Cassie started doing modelling again – she was featured in “ASOS” and “Forever 21” collections which has also contributed to her net worth. In 2015, her producer Diddy announced that they are still working on Cassie’s second album.
In her personal life, Cassie has been known to date her producers. She first dated producer and singer Ryan Leslie, but they broke up soon, in 2007. After that, Cassie started dating rapper Sean John Combs, better known as Diddy, who has been, and still is, both her producer and boyfriend.
