According to Forbes magazine, 50 Cent is the second highest-earning African-American superstar, with an estimated earning of $150 million. This places him behind Oprah Winfrey and in front of movie mogul Tyler Perry.
Most of the rapper’s earnings were raked up by the $100 million sale of Vitamin water. Last year he topped Forbes “Hip Hop Rich List” with a whopping $100 million. Jay-Z came in second with $82 million. Diddy came in third with $35 million.
I’m not hating on the man, but damn – it would help the kids nowadays to have dreams outside the entertainment industry.
