Cassie Net Worth

What is Cassie's Net Worth?

Cassie is an American musician, actress, and model who has a net worth of $15 million. Cassie Ventura, known mononymously as Cassie, first rose to prominence in the mid-2000s with her hit single "Me & U" in 2006. Produced by Ryan Leslie, the song was a major success, reaching the top of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and propelling her into the spotlight. Her self-titled debut album, released the same year, showcased her distinct style, blending R&B, pop, and hip-hop, and solidified her place in the music industry.

While her early success was significant, Cassie's music career proved sporadic, with limited releases and long delays between projects. She continued to collaborate with high-profile artists including Nicki Minaj, G-Eazy, and Sean "Diddy" Combs. In addition to her music, Cassie became a fixture in the fashion world, modeling for major brands and earning a reputation for her edgy, trend-setting looks.

Cassie was in a long-term relationship with Diddy from around 2007 to 2018—a relationship that, for years, drew tabloid fascination. In 2023, Cassie filed a bombshell lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of years of sexual assault, physical abuse, and coercive control. The suit was settled within 24 hours, but its disturbing details contributed to a wave of renewed legal scrutiny around Diddy, who is now facing multiple lawsuits and federal investigations. In 2019, Cassie moved on with personal trainer Alex Fine, whom she married that same year. The couple now has two children together.

$20 Million Diddy Settlement

In November 2023, Cassie filed a civil lawsuit against Diddy. A settlement was reached within 24 hours. The dollar amount of the settlement was not known until May 14, 2025, when, during court testimony, Cassie revealed that she received $20 million.

$10 Million Hotel Settlement

During testimony on May 16, 2025, Cassie revealed she is expected to receive a $10 million settlement from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. The payout stems from the hotel's alleged mishandling of a 2016 incident in which Diddy was caught on surveillance video violently assaulting her in a hallway. Cassie testified that the settlement negotiations concluded earlier that month, though she had not yet received the funds.

Early Life

Cassie was born Casandra Elizabeth Ventura on August 26, 1986, in New London, Connecticut. Her mother was of West Indian, Mexican, and African-American descent, while her father was Filipino. She attended the Williams School, a preparatory school, and graduated in 2004.

When she was 14, Cassie began modeling for local stores and eventually started booking shoots for national brands like Delia's and in magazines like "Seventeen." She also took voice lessons and started dancing in her high school's performing arts program. After graduating from high school, Cassie moved to New York City and continued taking dance classes at the Broadway Dance Center in addition to modeling.

Career

Artist and producer Ryan Leslie began collaborating with Cassie when she first moved to New York City after frequently seeing her at clubs and parties. They decided to record a duet, "Kiss Me," and then played it for a music executive named Tommy Mottola. Mottola offered Cassie a management deal, and Leslie signed her to his music-media company. Leslie then wrote and produced "Me & U," Cassie's first single, which went on to become a huge hit both in the United States and Germany. The single also won in the "Most Performed Songs" category at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards in 2007. Cassie herself was nominated in the "International Revelation of the Year" at the 2007 NRJ Music Awards.

After hearing "Me & U" in a club, artist Diddy decided to collaborate with Cassie and Leslie by releasing her upcoming debut album on his label, Bad Boy Records. The album, "Cassie," was released in August 2006. Though the album was generally well-received, thanks in large part to the success of "Me & U," its first single, Cassie underperformed during a couple of promotional events surrounding the release of the album, leading some to question her ability.

Diddy, however, remained firmly committed to her success, and Cassie began working on her second album, this time with a number of other producers in addition to Leslie, like Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. The album, however, was delayed in release as Cassie announced that she really wanted to release something that would be respected. She released three singles from the album, "Official Girl," "Must Be Love," and "Let's Get Crazy" in 2008 and 2009, but none of them made the United States music charts.

While continuing to record for her album, she was involved in a number of other projects. She made her acting debut in "Step Up 2: The Streets" as the character of Sophie Donovan. She also sang the lead single, "Is It You," for the film, which charted in both the United States and Canada. She also appeared in a number of music videos and collaborated on songs with other artists. In Wiz Khalifa's "Roll Up" music video, Cassie played the love interest. She also sang on Nicki Minaj's 2012 track, "The Boys."

In 2012, Cassie released two more singles – "King of Hearts" and "Balcony." "The music video for "King of Hearts" won the "Best R&B Video" at the 2012 MVPA Awards. She also announced that while working on her album, she had been recording a mixtape entitled "RockaByeBaby," which she released in April of 2013. The mixtape received favorable reviews and was dubbed the best mixtape of the year by "Dazed," a British magazine. It featured collaborations with Rick Ross and Wiz Khalifa. In 2013, Cassie also signed a contract to be the face of Forever 21's summer 2013 collection.

Cassie returned to the big screen in 2016 in the film "The Perfect Match, " playing love interest Eva. She also had a role in the film "Honey 3: Dare to Dance" in 2016. She released two more singles  in 2017, "Love a Loser" featuring rapper G-Eazy and "Don't Play It Safe." She also won "Beauty Bombshell of the Year" at the 2017 Toyota Bold Awards.

After departing from Bad Boy Records following her break-up with Diddy, Cassie continued working on her long-awaited second album with a number of new producers. She released several new singles during the summer of 2019. In 2020, she was cast in the role of Elise in the film "Spenser Confidential."

In addition to being known for her voice, Cassie has also been recognized for her style, citing Kate Moss as a major influence. She often opts for edgier looks that are simultaneously feminine and sophisticated while also being punk.

Personal Life

Cassie first met Diddy in 2005 when she was 19 and he was 37. She subsequently recorded on his label, and the two began dating on and off over several years. They broke up in 2018.

Cassie then started dating Alex Fine, a bull rider and fitness trainer, in 2018. They announced in June of 2019 that they were expecting their first child together. A couple of months later, in August, they announced that they were engaged. In September, sources reported that the couple had wed privately, which was later confirmed with Fine posted the wedding video to his Instagram account. In October of 2019, "Vogue" magazine posted the couple's official wedding photos to their website. The couple's first daughter, Frankie Stone, was born on December 6, 2019. They announced in December of 2020 that they were expecting a second child, another daughter, who was born in March of 2021 and named Sunny Cinco.

Diddy Lawsuit

In November 2023, Cassie filed a bombshell lawsuit against her former boyfriend, Sean "Diddy" Combs. The suit accused Diddy of rape, sex trafficking, and years of physical and emotional abuse throughout their relationship. The lawsuit contained numerous explosive allegations, including:

• That Diddy was physically violent and "introduced" her to a lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse.
• That he forced her to engage in sex acts with male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters.
• That in 2018, after she attempted to end their relationship, he allegedly broke into her home and raped her.
• That he engaged in acts of sex trafficking, sexual assault, gender-motivated violence, and sexual harassment.
• That in 2012, after learning of a rumor she was dating rapper Kid Cudi, Diddy threatened to blow up Cudi's car. Cudi's car later exploded in his driveway—an incident he has since confirmed.

Diddy's legal team forcefully denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit a "money grab" and characterizing Cassie's claims as "baseless and outrageous lies." They alleged that for months leading up to the suit, Cassie had demanded $30 million in exchange for not publishing a damaging tell-all book.

Cassie's attorneys responded that she had, in fact, rejected a prior eight-figure offer from Diddy to stay silent.

A settlement was reached just 24 hours after the lawsuit was filed, though its terms were initially kept confidential. On May 14, 2025, during court testimony in a separate legal matter, Cassie revealed that she received a $20 million settlement from Diddy.

Because her claims primarily involved emotional distress and sexual misconduct rather than documented physical injuries, legal experts suggest that the entire $20 million is likely taxable income under IRS rules. That means Cassie could owe a significant portion, potentially 40% or more, in federal and state taxes, depending on her place of residence and how the payment was structured.
