50 Cent isn't just the top-earning hip-hop artist, he's also the second highest earning African-American entertainer, according to Forbes. 50 pulled down an estimated $150 million between June 2007 and June 2008 to place second behind Oprah Winfrey, who earned $275 million in the same period. 50 raked in $100 million of that when his stake in Vitamin Water's parent company, Glaceau, was bought by Coca-Cola. He's also generating big bucks with his popular G-Unit brand of clothes and shoes. 50's $150 million was also good enough to place him at the top of Forbes' 2008 Hip-Hop Cash Kings ahead of Jay-Z, Diddy, and Rick Ross.

I love that you pointed out how he’s above Officer Ricky
Also I don’t think he’s the second highest earning African American–probably second highest earning African American celebrity
nobody cares. 50’s rich get over it.
Don’t you wonder why Fiddy never opens his mouth when he talks? He speaks through his teeth, as if his jaw is still wired shut! I mean, what…was his broken jaw THAT mentally traumatizing that his mind won’t let him speak normally?
Doesn’t he talk like that because he was shot in the jaw? I’m pretty sure bullets do permanent damage.
@CK: You’re probably right about that.
50 is the best thing since biggie n pac so guys stop hating.
one thing i like about 50 is that 50 dont give a damn(more haters means more money, less haters means emtpy pockets) same goes to brian birdman williams but its pitty he uses blood money!!!!!!
How much is Byrdman really worth?
yeahhh fiddy is rich ….he got shot 9 times do the math ……..if u get shot in the mouth u lucky 2 be living
G-G-G-G-UNIT!!!! 50 FOR LIFE
Haterz pls hate on…hehehehee…he’s more made than your ass would ever be. case closed!
Could there a more damning commentary on so-called American culture when someone like this is pulling money like that for the crap that he shovels out ?
That’s scary.
