The man who made his name freestyling and dropping mixtape tracks about robbing rappers who were more famous than him is now the latest rapper to turn full-fledged mogul. Actually, 50 Cent -- Curtis Jackson to the government -- has been approaching mogul status for a while, with his own record label, clothing line and various endorsements.But for anybody looking for confirmation that Fitty's no fluke, check out his latest deal: he's reportedly parlayed his endorsement of grape-flavored Vitaminwater into a payoff potentially worth millions. Seems 50 had a stake in the company, which Coke bought for more than $4 billion. Nobody's saying how much his stake is worth, but I for one would love to have a piece of that kinda action -- no matter how small.

Fifty is definitely doing big things, and the deal with the Vitaman Water does sound lucrative. If money is the motivator, there you have it.

50 cent is very talented and it is great that he made it considering where he came from. I really like his music but i find him to very arrogrant. if u do not agree with how he feels he does not want to deal with u anymore and that is something that i really do not think is good to be showing to all the young children that want to be just like him. sometimes in life you have to know when to be humble
