5. 50 Cent at $250 million has slid to the No. 5 position from NO. 2 when he was only bested in terms of weath by Jay-Z. But what got him to No. 5, above the man who discovered him Eminem, involves the savvy business deal he made with the company Vitamin Water. When he took ownership stake in the company, it was worth $150 million. When the company sold to Coca Cola, it sold for $4.1 billion! That move combine with his movies, music and other business interest puts him right in the middle of the richest rappers.
