50 Cent laughs all the way to the bank
From XXLMag.com:
Glaceau, the makers of Vitamin Water, has been purchased by the Coca-Cola Corporation for $4.1 billion.
One of the more popular flavors of the drink is the 50 Cent branded, grape flavored Formula 50. When 50 partnered with Glaceau to develop the beverage, he also purchased a stake in the company.
“Today is 5/25 and it’s a beautiful day and I’m displaying my beautiful smile in beautiful way, It’s beautiful to be alive on 5/25,” 50 said of the sale. “We sold Vitamin Water for $4.1 billion dollars to Coco-Cola! Ha-ha-ha!”
Rumors say 50 Cent owns a 5 percent stake in the company, meaning he earned himself roughly $200 million in one day.
According to the Panache Report, published in August 2006, Diddy was the richest man in hip-hop, worth approximately $346 million, followed closely by Jay-Z with $340 million.
Back then, 50 Cent was listed as being worth $100 million – and with this nice windfall, he’s now up there with the top two! The question is, could he worth more than both of them now?
go fifty do ya thang! get money stay fly
now im going to rob 50
He has made a major come up in the last four years!!!
ok
i need four good by
ok
i need four good byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
yall forget jay z sold roca wear recently
Well some other blogs are now saying that 50 “fitty” held 10% of the company so that means homeboy made over 400 million. Jay-Z sold rocawear for 200 Million cash but that was between 3 people and Jay-Z I think held less than 30% of the company. So that translates to a little under 60 million. So by all accounts, Fitty now has more money than Russel Simmons, Jay-Z and Diddy. Womp Womp…
Jay Z don’t own rocawear, a russian guy named alex owns it, jay z is just a face, and they sold rocawear for $200 mill, I don’t know how much jay got from it, but it was way less than half that. Damn, 50 was smart to invest in that water, its just water yo..
Go, Go, Go, 50 it’s your birthday! Do it like a “G”. I have nothing but love for you……
you go boy i think 50 is the best jay has got nothing on him 50 outclass any
rapper at anytime u the best 50 from joemsa from south africa
a hustlers ambition!!!
I don’t think we will ever actually know unless it is posted from the company itself (I think the company is publicly traded and if it is then the info will be in there).
5%, 10% or 10% of just Vitamin Water and not the company who owns Vitiamin Water (which is Glasua… spell??? lol), it doesn’t matter. The point is that 50 is now up there in Diddy money levels with Jay and Russel.
1 plus 2 is 300 million. Who is going to be the first billionaire rapper? I say Jay-Z by the time he is 55 (because of the clothing line that he still has money invested in and real estate).
go fifty you the best man .i show you nuff respect man

MULTI-PLATINUM HIP-HOP PRODUCER
PREPS FOR ANOTHER 20 MILLION
Atlanta, GA (October 11, 2007) – With 20 Million albums worldwide already on his plate by contributing to 50 Cent’s rap career with the smash hit “Wanksta,” Multi-Platinum and ASCAP (Rhythm & Soul) Award winning producer J-Praize is ready for another 20 million hit with his new record label “Tha Cross Entertainment.”
This venture inspired by the talented producer’s belief in sacrifice, is already producing waves within the music industry with a roster of dynamic and emerging artists. Major record labels are already talking about including Tha Cross Entertainment to their line-up.
One of The Cross’s artists is a veteran to the music scene. Former Yung Joc group member, Real McCoy, was specially hand-picked by J-Praize and has been strategically developed by “Tha Cross Entertainment” team and is now actively ready and prepared to take the hip-hop industry by storm with his first single “Porn Star,” (mp3 clean version attached aka Super Star) The upbeat track is already a hit in the Clubs and also receiving major radio requests in many markets. But it doesn’t stop there; J-Praize has also composed an exclusive production team which includes several powerful producers and songwriters that are already producing smash hits for the label’s artists. Tha Cross’s songwriting team “Tha Collective” are also writing songs and tracks for different artists outside his label.
J-Praize is definitely not your average producer from the East Coast. The triple threat Queens, NY native is not only a producer but is also a mentor to his artists and a hands on Record Executive/CEO who looks to craft and build his label while promoting his artists. As he and his record label grows, J-Praize seeks to gain more talented artists, producers and songwriters, male and female, ready to top the charts.
Currently based in Atlanta, Tha Cross Entertainment looks to appeal to different aspects of music and hip-hop lovers by producing music that listeners can sit and relate to the real and sometimes blunt lyrics, but at the same time, enjoy the catchy beats that makes them want to dance and have fun.
J-Praize expects nothing less than what he has already sacrificed for and MUSIC is just one of them.
