''I couldn't actually say how how much I made but I can show you all my teeth.'' Brilliant

[@secretaryofstate1]

How is that brilliant lol

[@curtisjackson2920]

@@secretaryofstate1 Because he saying he’s happy with the deal...🙄💰 100M’s

[@alexr833]

he had 10% out of 4.1 bil so that's 400mil , take some tax out and transaction fees, lawyers and all that, he did way better than 100 mil

[@jordanbuscema2719]

And that people is a real hustler.

[@baowarrior4892]

+jordan buscema exactly! he is a born hustler.

*Fifty said it best.. I sell anything Im a hustla, I know how to grind!!! Step on grapes put it in water and tell you its wine*

[@CornholioPuppetMaster]

Hustle harder hustle smarter is an amazing book

[@D40Oz1]

Smartest REAL rap artist in the world.

[@_91K_]

***** Some people are businessman, some are business, man.. Let them handle their business, damn..

[@kefkahkefkah]

and he went bankrupt, lol!

[@D40Oz1]

kefkahkefkah lol awe yea? I guess your to young to understand things

[@kefkahkefkah]

Propably so, now go get impressed by another gold chain, i bet them pretty colours hypnotize you everytime. He went and declared himself bankrupt, because he was DUMB enough to leak a private porn tape under his real name, and because he thought he was a smooth criminal, and STOLE drawings and proof of concepts to launch as his own. There is no "criminal mastermind" behind this here. Street dude doing idiot street stuff. Like listen you idiot, he lost 21 MILLIONS on NOTHING. There was no investments, there was no bad predictions. He couldent keep his mouth shut, and his finger in his pocket, so he had to pay 21 millions for nothing. But i guess he just have to show you his new pink gucci suit and you start drooling "REAL RAP ARTIST" again.

[@anonymousarnarchy2427]

kefkahkefkah the real 50cent is a conniving lying cheating thing

[@tarvokallaste4263]

Selling water is the ultimate boss move imo. It's like selling air.

[@DeathRowMakaveli]

*Fifty said it best.. I sell anything Im a hustla, I know how to grind!!! Step on grapes put it in water and tell you its wine*

[@downtowngames4631]

You just predicted a business some fella is selling air and making millions google it if you don't believe me

[@michaelg3671]

Well we are approaching a massive water shortage. Investing in water will be big long term.

[@basalicandrei3866]

whenn you have alot of money you can make alot of money....money makes more money!

[@youtubewarrior3611]

i saw cars that sold for $300 AT A POLICE auction today. to bad i was at work. next week

[@DeathRowMakaveli]

Biiig facts

[@suffeeirshad]

[@stratocaster1986able]

[@matthewlee9879]

That would of been pretty cool!

[@03clarkg]

10% of 4.1.BN is $400,100,000.00 after taxes that's about 260,000,000.00. So when people say "50's only worth 260MN" - they're only counting the Vitamin Water money?! Crazy.

[@tSunrise_]

fukkenell. that's a lot of tax.

[@taykerrap9890]

50 is a gentlemen

[@lairdriver]

Water is the most valuable resource on Earth and beverage companies are making more money off it now then they do actually from soft drinks and gatorade etc. They are going to places in the World and basically stealing Water supplies and selling it. The CEO of Nestle even had the nerve to say that 'water isn't a right'. He was basically saying that everybody should pay for Water - clean water. And the most amazing thing about most bottled water is that it is no better then regular tap water. The profit margins on bottle water is huge

[@danielvincan]

" the most amazing thing about most bottled water is that it is no better then regular tap water." - this really depends where you live bro

[@rybuds47]

Water isn't a right, it sucks but it's true reality.

[@Kentaronizer]

Ryan Dalziel Is oxygen not a right? is absorption of vit D from sunlight not a right? If you truly believe having access to H20, an absolute necessity for life, isn't a right.. you're the one that is not living in reality.

[@rybuds47]

Kentaronizer water is free go to the river with a bucket get all you want, but in real life reality I have managed a water system for a city in Washington and it is a tremendous amount of work and responsibility that you are "personally liable for" that is why safe drinking water cost money and is a shrinking resource, don't be surprised if the price of water gets high in our lifetime. Its sad but purified water is not a right, we don't have to pay for rights with money.

[@rybuds47]

Kentaronizer watch liquid gold if you want to really see what's happening.

[@branbozic]

50 would have made about 250mill after taxes. Genius! Love 50 he is a legend!

[@shockinglyoriginal]

larry laughed at that 4.1Bn. LOL!

[@TAF98]

[@alonzoruesga2956]

[@Number-one3838]

A legend from the hidden templ

[@yessirrr5182]

Fifty cent is so smart

[@theworstkiddo]

Larry was enjoying FiF

[@HipHopWrestlingFanatic860]

here's what 50 said "People keep asking me questions about how much money I made from Vitamin Water, and I keep saying, a lot man"

[@HTPINVEST]

No sir cut 65% of that. he made 150 Mill. And he didn't work for three years so he had to deep into that cash to maintain his lifestyle and invest in various companies. But he will get a huge reward knowing his work ethic. 50 WORLD FITNESS Opening soon every where. the first opened this week in VEGAS. this guy is definitively a cross-marketing genius. I can see the link with Street King, SMS AUDIO, and his Book Formula 50. I would not been surprised to see a Whey Powder protein named Formula 50.

50 Цент: Кришнаит мне сказал "В прошлой жизни вы одним из просвещенных людей Европы были" (В гостях у Гордона)

[@2kFreshPrince]

And thats JUST through Vitamin Water! Through his music and SMS Audio company he must be making at least half a billion a year.

[@terrybarr8635]

" I can show you all my teeth!" lol

[@user-xv8zq8gm5y]

[@kjustice1274]

he sound like 25 Cent here

[@malachiwarner5699]

It's funny he says he had about 10% of the company and it sold for 4.1billion. Wouldn't he make 400million if he has 10% not 100million?

[@AwesomeRepix]

What do these rich people spend their money on? i wouldn't know what to do with them, other than donate a bunch to charities.

[@KastroCake]

+AwesomeRepix dude really ? wtf

[@KastroCake]

+AwesomeRepix dude really ? wtf

[@AwesomeRepix]

***** So you spend 45.000.000 dollars on food and clothes? good luck.

[@michaelpratt3266]

+AwesomeRepix We need more people like you lol! :)

[@KhalidAli-jc7cv]

You. Invest it build houses buy houses. Or sell houses. You start buying shares in companies. Just make more more more money. Its very easy to become rich the first 200.000 dollars is the hardest to earn.

[@koolkac6000]

Is vitamin water, spring water?

[@Kamil_PacyfikatoR_Pustelnik]

spring water has much more natural ingredients than mineral water so it kind of can be called vitamin water

[@saif0316]

The second gallon of water was FIFTY Nine cents!

[@whoyathought400]

It's sad that you're hate-typing when he's worth a few hundred M's no matter what the exact figure... how many hundred cents are you worth?

[@janisdunbarakasugarlips5621]

It bothers me that you guys just took my whole book down and left her craziness up why would I be able to say that well I'm telling you why

[@wch7251]

Poland spring is way better generic brands

[@janisdunbarakasugarlips5621]

This pains me to talk about this he knew I didn't want to write about it he made me do it but he's also part of it that's not my fault

[@janisdunbarakasugarlips5621]

You know what bothers me the most you would rather protect my STALKER than the person being STALKED

[@mrosioke]

Damn ass... you know that forbes renew their list like every 12 months.... check next christmas, with his new boxing promotions and record sales i estimate like $350-450m

[@janisdunbarakasugarlips5621]

Oh it's the giggler now her mouth is wide open

[@TT-rw9gq]

Thats a total lie. The idea was mine and I would be willing to take a polygraph test. I released it to the public inside of home depot. I released my idea and 1 year later it was on the shelf. My exact idea.

[@kwamedukes]

wow so the company sold vitamin water for 4.1 billion and 50 Cent owned 10% off it...jheeze so the nigga got around $400 mill...#dope

[@janisdunbarakasugarlips5621]

They have no business in my book my father starts off my book when I was a girl

[@chltmdwp]

Funny how he lost it all

[@D9Wx]

lets see if 50 gives money to organisations that needs it.. not only for black ppl, but everyone.

[@cray32]

Why?

[@D9Wx]

cray32 cuz thats what EVERY black person with money does.. they ONLY give to their own. if thats not racism i dont know what is.. imagine is all the white people with money ONLY gave money to russia and poor white people.. that aint happening, those guys mostly give money to africa and any part of the planet.

[@cray32]

Why do you think he is obligated to give any of his hard earned money away?

[@spencerowen4895]

what about Shriners Hospitals for Children?? 50 cent is a mega contributor to that cause. Also I don't believe that the argument that blacks only give to blacks is a valid one. The majority of people that have the means to contribute, do so to organizations that support a cause that they have likely experienced/seen. People who's fathers/sisters/mothers/brothers/friends have died from cancer oftentimes contribute to charitable organizations that perform cancer research. Black people who's fathers/mothers/sisters/brothers/friends have been the product of poverty for generations, may be more inclined to donate to a cause that supports research in that field... How, on any level, is that wrong?

[@D9Wx]

cray32 when have i EVER said that? =) never.

[@donallen7288]

Vitamin water nasty

[@UnseenBeats]

basically he's telling the idiots who often said he made 100 million the math. owned 10% sold for 4.1 billion. add it up.
