Although Forbes estimated that 50 Cent’s net worth was $155 Million in 2017, when he filed for bankruptcy he reported assets that valued from $10 million to $50 million. However, sadly– his debts equaled just as much!
Moral of the story: You may be rich and incredibly successful, but filing for bankruptcy can truly be a real pain in the butt! From incredible riches to losing nearly 90% of his net worth earnings in a very short matter of time, 50 Cents current net worth of 15 Million may not appear to be too promising, but with the anticipated release of Street King Immortal, this successful rapper should be back in business in no time!
