When you are allegedly worth $200 million dollars and counting, bad days are few and far between. Since his explosive rise to fame 50 Cent has had a serious winning streak that would rival the Miami Heat’s back to back championship seasons.
This includes a groundbreaking mixtape series, Get Rich Or Die Trying, the G-Unit empire, ThisIs50.com, his very profitable investment in Vitamin Water and more.
