Yes he’s a terrible actor but we can’t deny the fact that 50 Cent is one helluva businessman, either that or he’s got some good advisers and accountants in his pocket.
The rapper with the Christian name, Curtis Jackson, was ranked No. 26 on Forbes 2008 list of top 100 richest celebrities with estimated earnings of about $150 million between June 2007 and June 2008. He’s got his own record label and clothing line, acts and books. I saw MTV Crib old episode the other day and his mansion is ridiculous. Gold everywhere, king size everything, many rooms for his hoes. It must be a pain in the ass to clean such a big house.
He’s not showing any sign slowing down. He just launched his own production company, CHEETAH VISION and he doesn’t give a damn if the economy is in the toilet.
“I don’t think it will affect me as much as it will the other people that are out there because I’m not afraid to finance some of these things myself if I have to,”
Via popeater, CHEETAH VISION had already bought eight scripts and among the first to be produced would be THE DANCE starring himself and Nicolas Cage. Fitting couple.. one lame actor collaborating with an actor who chooses lame gigs.
And just like Cubevision Productions provides movie for Ice Cube to star in and Happy Madison also provides movies for Adam Sandler to star in, Cheetah Vision will guarantee that we’d have more movies that will star 50 Cent,.. meaning it’s high time to pray for Cinema.
Times like this I remember that one Chris Rock’s monologue, he’d be making fun of this situation saying, you know the world gone f*’ed up when Joaquin Phoenix wants to rap and 50 Cent wants to act in movies.
