Rapper 50 Cent accepted Bitcoin as payments for his album "Animal Ambition" back in 2014 when Bitcoin was still uncool.
Yesterday Jan 23, 2018 TMZ reported that that Curtis Jackson AKA 50 Cent has acquired 700 BTC after accepting cryptocurrency back in 2014 for his album. At that time, these sales would have worth roughly around $400,000. In today's crypto market the amount of BTC he has is now worth between $7,000,000 to $9,000,000.
50 Cent confirmed citing the TMZ article posting on Instagram saying "Not Bad for a kid from South Side, I'm so praoud of me." He claimed that he forgot about his BTC holdings for years saying " I'm a keep it real, I forgot i did this s*** lol!"
50 Cent has proven his entrepreneurship skills time and time again. I remember his first album, Get rich or Die tryin', that had huge sales figures, and this is how he got rich but didn't die trying!
