He’ll probably find that blinged out skull in his diswasher next week.
50 Cent, or Fiddy as some call him, is an interesting figure. He has an amazing ability to make large amounts of money, and then lose it all on insane crap. Hence why he’s had to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on his business ventures (and subsequently, explain his Instagram photos to the court).
But 50 Cent is a man of unexpected windfalls. Aside from the whole Vitamin Water thing, he’ll try just about any new, crazy business thing. It’s part of why he’s in his current mess in the first place, probably. So, for his 2014 album Animal Ambition, he decided to accept payments in Bitcoin, then promptly forgot about it. You can guess where that leads; the amount he just found out he has is worth about $7.8 Million. And the 700 Bitcoin he was paid by his fans for the album would’ve been worth more a month and a half ago. And that’s considering that Animal Ambition was pretty much thought to be a flop.
At least he was honest about the whole thing, though; in a now-deleted Instagram post, he said “I’m a keep it real. I forgot I did that shit”. But, as long as he still has the keys to the wallet his bitcoin is stored in, he’s good. And I’m sure just after his Chapter 11 proceedings are finished, he’ll find out his house was built above a buried El Dorado or something.
