50 cent is a well-known rapper who's reportedly been shot several times and survive. He's even had a movie made about him and made millions with his strong lyrics. After he made his millions he managed to lose everything and became bankrupt.
Now, thanks to accepting bitcoin back in 2014 for one of his albums, he became a millionaire once again. He essentially managed to make 700 BTC for the album and then forgot about the cryptocurrency, probably because he didn't even see it as real money.
Fast forward to today, and the rapper looked at his wallet. Boom, over $ 7 million in it, and bitcoin was accepted for his album when it was just at $660 or something like that, so that's a pretty great return on investment.
Essentially, he made his money for believing in bitcoin as he was one of the first artists to accept bitcoin, along with Icelandic singer Bjork.
That is crazy. Can't believe he forgot about it. At least he didn't lose his crypto like that guy who lost $10 mil worth of bitcoin because his hardware wallet went in landfill!
