50 Cent

Of course, rapper 50 Cent became one of the biggest rap stars of the ’00s thanks to hits like “In da Club,” “Many Men (Wish Death),” and “Candy Shop.” Along the way, he also collaborated with other megastars, like Eminem and Dr. Dre.

Sadly, after the 2008 recession, 50 Cent suffered some serious losses. So, in more recent years, the rapper has remained busy by becoming quite the entrepreneur! He’s established his own clothing, record, and book publishing companies, all under the G-Unit company. Now, thanks to his smart business moves, he’s worth $30 million! Certainly quite a bit more than he was worth back in the early ’00s!
