Forbes Magazine Hip Hop Millionaire List
50 Cent is topping the charts for these past 12 months as Forbes’ Richest Hip Hop Cash King. He comes into the #1 spot with $150 mill after taxes. And that’s almost twice what the silver medal (second place winner) Jay-Z came in with. And 50 got his riches mainly off of one deal banking $100 million after taxes on one deal alone when his stake in VitaminWater’s parent, Glacéau, was bought by Coca-Cola as part of a $4.1 billion deal.
