What 50 Cent thinks about being a billionaire

50 Cent showed how savvy of a businessman he could be not too long after achieving mainstream success in music. He famously struck a vitamin water deal that earned him even more millions in 2004. Later, he’d become an even more versatile entrepreneur. He experimented with his own headphone company, SMS audio, which started in 2011. He found more success in television thanks to his lucrative Power franchise.

Why 50 Cent already technically considered himself a billionaire

Furthermore, the BMF creator felt that he already reached billionaire status a long time ago. Especially when comparing his current position in life to his past lifestyle in the streets.

“So when they financially say, ‘Oh, you’re a billionaire, this person is a billionaire,’ it’s like, ‘I’ve been a billionaire since 2007. I’m that far from where I came from that I’ve been a billionaire financially because everybody around me is being paid,” 50 Cent said on The Enthusiast podcast. “Resources that I compensate for people to be there, and I really don’t see things that I want that I can’t go get it.”
