50 Cent Explains How He Has Been A Billionaire Since 2007

50 Cent is one of the most legendary artists in hip-hop. Although he may not make music anymore, he is certainly keeping busy with a variety of different projects. Whether it be his television empire or his various alcohol brands, Fif is accomplishing a lot. Back in 2015, he had to file for bankruptcy, however, he has been able to recover and get his business straight. Now, it feels like the artist is absolutely unstoppable. No matter what he sets out to do, he ends up smashing the expectations.

That said, 50 Cent is not on the same level as artists like Jay-Z when it comes to pure net worth. This makes a whole lot of sense when you consider where he was about 10 years ago. However, he doesn't really care about his net worth. In fact, in his mind, all of this is simply a mentality. While sitting down for an episode of The Enthusiast Podcast, the artist and businessman made the case for why he has been a billionaire since 2007. Essentially, it all comes down to the fact that he can have anything he wants. Moreover, he is able to get people paid, which means a lot to him.

“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,” the artist explained. “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.” These are some interesting comments that speak to 50 Cent and his optimism. While some may disagree, it's clear he stands on what he believes.

In the future, it is going to be interesting to see what 50 Cent does next. There are plenty of avenues he can go down to expand his wealth and his empire. Only time will tell just how big that empire ultimately becomes. Let us know your thoughts on what 50 Cent said, in the comments below.
