50 Cent has filed for bankruptcy according to the Wall Street Journal. Curtis Jackson has assets and debts in the “range of $10 million to $50 million.” First of all, that’s a pretty big range! Second of all, about five years ago, 50 Cent was supposedly worth half a billion dollars after Vitamin Water hit it big. From a 2010 Washington Post article about Fiddy’s worth:

"When all the other costs had been deducted, 50 Cent was thought to have walked away with a figure somewhere between $60 million and $100 million, putting his net worth at nearly a half billion dollars. On his next album, 50 Cent could barely contain his own incredulity at the power of the dollar. “I took quarter-water, sold it in bottles for two bucks,” he rapped. “Coca-Cola came and bought it for billions. What the [expletive]?”"

Now he’s bankrupt. This news comes days after a woman sued 50 Cent for $5 million over a sex tape. He hasn’t been shut down this hard since he tried to kiss Erin Andrews at Daytona. I guess this means Floyd Mayweather wins this round.
