50 Cent
Born in South Jamaica, Queens to a drug slinging mother, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has seen his life change dramatically.
The 35-year-old went from being shot nine times and following in his mother’s drug laden foot steps to being a multi-millionaire and earning a reported $400 million for his investment into the Vitamin Water brand.
Physically Curtis has gone from G-Unit tank tops a crossover in tailored suits and ties that have graced many daytime talk show couches.
His album Get Rich or Die Tryin has been certified 8 times platinum by the RIAA and has sold over 15 million copies worldwide.
