American rapper, actor, entrepreneur and executive producer, Curtis James “50 Cent” Jackson III, has an estimated net worth of $100 million as of March 2011, according to Forbes Magazine. 50 Cent endured substantial obstacles throughout his young yet remarkably dramatic life before becoming the most discussed figure in rap, if not pop music in general, circa 2003. Following an unsuccessful late-’90s run at mainstream success (foiled by an attempt on his life in 2000) and a successful run on the New York mixtape circuit (driven by his early-2000s bout with Ja Rule), Eminem signed 50 Cent to a seven-figure contract in 2002 and helmed his quick rise toward crossover success in 2003.

50 cent has has become one of the richest rappers in the world particularly for his business-savvy, as the rapper got a neat nine-figure payout from the sales of Vitamin Water, when it was sold to Coca Cola. He bought and renovated the mansion formerly owned by Mike Tyson. Cushion remains from catalog, acting gigs and 50 Cent-themed videogames, books, clothes and headphones. Future billionaire? He told Forbes Magazine in 2008: “It’s probably going to take me 10 years.” Born Curtis James Jackson III on July 6, 1975 in South Jamaica, Queens, New York, United States.
