50 Cent - Highest Earning African American Entertainer

Postby Jumbo » Feb 5th, '09, 16:39

In the midst of beef, 50 still outearns and outthinks, well, everybody, Forbes reports
When 50 Cent isn’t taking baby mothers shopping at the Gucci store, and cleverly assassinating the character of Florida rapper Rick Ross, he’s making trips to the bank.

According to Forbes magazine, Curtis Jackson 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 outearned your favorite rapper on 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.

it's easy to see how 50's music fell off with all this cash. lol. He dont have to spend another day in the studio ever again. He will make more money from all these endorsments, businesses, etc. than music as well. He really doesn't have motivation to record. Easy to see why he thinks he the best.
