Pac turned NY into a wasteland? Homie damn near got his balls blown off , literally, in NY and all this nigga did was run to the studio. You think niggas wasn't sitting back and laughing off that shit? I mean how you gonna huff, puff and go at NY, when you got mangled there? Nobody, who was speculated as a triggerman or accessory, in NYC caught heat for that. Not a damn soul. You think he didn't have people in his ear informing him of the benefits of "blaming BIG and Puff"? Of course he did. However, I bet he didn't take into account that shit would create a image that he was forced to uphold. A image that got his ass confined to a box and a situation that got, who he once called a very close friend, killed. On wax, I respect his work ethic. Of wax, that nigga was a bozo.........Barking all that tough shit, yet let Suge stare him in the eye while robbing his ass everyday. Shit, his moms said pac was on the PHONE with Suge for like three weeks begging for an accountant. This nigga couldn't even address Suge face to face about HIS money. Yea, some thug that nigga was...........

LMAO..Pac said fuck NY?

Shows how dumb people really are...

 

[ustreet_monsta]

I'm not dissing Pac. I just dont see how he's relevant to this conversation. I swear every thread on The Reason can be trolled by mentioning Pac.

 

[thecomebacklegend]

lol at diddy claiming 2 b worth 475 million but refuse 2 let gold group the lox out they deal

if these niggas was really worth 400 million they would not b making albums

 

[politicalthug202]

This I gotta co-sign.... like Goldman Sachs has a division specifically for ppl who have over 10 million to invest to get in on financing IPOs (so that they can in turn sell it to the public on the day of the opening for the gross profit this is also why "IPO" is often nicknamed "Insider's Private Opportunity") , they could even go to legendary investors like Ken Fisher (son of Phil Fisher) and also a billionaire w/ a history of being able to net 20% on clients funds for the last 40 something years now. Theres soooo much but these niggas invest in the same old same old - clothing lines, alcohol, shoes, clubs, other record labels, perfumes & other unsigned rappers, etc. Don't get me wrong theres nothing wrong with that but most of those businesses dont have any long time staying power - shoes & clothes are trends, n last as long as a niggas marketing budget. But things like buying into oil companies, banks, TV stations, film companies, steel mils, department stores will grow & be waaay more sustainable than a clothing line.

If those niggas only knew what I knew. Good God SMH....

He has a point w/ Fif tho.... they said theyre factoring in past earnings, value of businesses, financial statements, current holdings & insider info.

Lets tally everything up for 50 Cent....

Vitamin Water - 400,000,000 & LOL @ niggas sayin taxes leave it at only 100,000,000 that dont add up.... u mean to tell me Uncle Sam took 75% of that ? the tax rate for a multi-millionaire is a lot diff't & more in their favor than a nigga who is in the 6 figure & lower range, ive never even heard of 75% tax rate not even for the most capital intensive corporations.

Cheetah Vision Deal - 200,000,000

Music Earnings - 2005 = 41,000,000 , 2006 = 32 million (I posted the article below) , 2007 = 150,000,000 (the number was 82 but they factored in endorsements & his video game) , 2008 = 18,000,000 (08 was the year where even Hov only did like 32mil) , 2009 = 10,000,000 , 2010 = 8,000,000 (also keep in mind that his early earnings from 05 - 07 included his earnings from g-unit clothing and sneakers)

Sleek By 50 Cent - ???

Power by 50 Cent - 2,000,000 (no including return from sales as i cant prove that)

The 50th Law - 3,000,000

His Book Publishing Company - ???

Movie Roles - we know hes not getting no 250k a film , hes a star so i think its safe to say he getting at least 600k a film on whoo kid interview he said he got a mil for Home of The brave)

Lets not forget he also met w/ Patrice Motsepe for a joint venture to sell his own brand of platinum (the commodity niggas)

Heres the evidence from Forbes website...

50 has a networth of atleast $555,000,000 & thats me taking into account that he only did 100 mil off vitamin water if i factor in 400mil instead the nigga is around 900mil... again this is using forbes' own website & information from past reports. I havent even factored in what his record deal is worth or his publishing co.

Overall im saying forbes dropped the ball w/ 50 cent... that nigga is waaaay richer than just 100mil, remember in 09 when they said Hova was only worth 150 mil ? when previously he was reported as having a networth of 587mil ?? wat happened to that first number ? the recession ? really ? nigga has most of his networth in his catalog so i cant see how the recession would knock him down so far.

I work in investment banking and the reason alot of rappers dont invest in those things is,because

one if you not well connected these whiteboys will screw you over look at bernee madeoff,

and two you should never invest in products, you dont understand niggas understsand clothing

and liqour,the internet media is alot more complex look at the dot com bubble of 2000

when mother fuckers was killing they selves after they lost money. yahoo was worth 100.00

a share now its like 17.00 a share and dont even bring up the housing crisis.

also the reason why 50 might not asbeen high on the list is you have to count

the money they spend trying to market these products,that goes negative against

they networth,and also depreciating assets like stock, estates, also

some of these buisness they own are operating on buisness loans

so even though these buisness might be making a profit off of transaction

they are still technically in debt and that counts as negative networth.

Y'all doing all of this speculating, but nobody is counting these dudes expenses. How much do they have after expenses? Everytime Puff is on MTV, he's talking about how he only gets four hours of sleep or some nonsense. Jay-Z and Bey at least vacation enough to make it seem like they enjoy the money. Puff is forever working.

Smh@being worth half a billion (probably closer to 100 if they gotta keep working) and still having to show up to work like a Burger King employee. Wtf kind of win is that if you stop working you'll end up back on the block after making that kind of bread in a lifetime?

Let me make what one of them made in one year. I'm not working again.

so what you're saying is that you know more than the people at forbes?

Shit, they should hire you my nigga. You're talking as if the nigga works an hourly wage. The point of net worth is that as of right now, if he sold his interest in everything the profits from all those minus all his debts would be 475 million dollars. It doesn't mean he has to work for 475 million every year or whatever stupid shit you said.

 

[Disciplined InSight]

This thread still going on? I'm gonna say this...

Those Jews are NOT gonna let any, I repeat, ANY BLACK MAN break the billionaire mark. Diddy? No. Jay-Z? No. Baby. Not even close. You can't knock the hustle, but if you ain't Jewish or German it's fuck you.

 

[Disciplined InSight]

Hhhmmm is that so ? iunnnoooooooo bout all that LOLOL

http://www.forbes.com/profile/aliko-dangote

^^^^
Aliko Dangote is the richest black man in the world with a networth of $13.8 BILLION dollars (self made) - 10 times that of Oprah Winfrey.... & this nigga is from Africa where its waaaaay harder to break the billion mark than in the U.S.

But Aliko Dangote is an AFRICAN businessman/billionaire.

Maybe I should have been more specific:

Those Jews are NOT gonna let any, I repeat, ANY BLACK MAN in AMERIKKKA break the billionaire mark. Diddy? No. Jay-Z? No. Baby. Not even close. You can't knock the hustle, but if you ain't Jewish or German it's fuck you.

There...that's better.

WAS a billionaire..that divorce skimmed his title.

When Johnson sold BET to Viacom for $3 billion dollars in 2000, he landed in Forbes' 400 Richest Americans list the following year with a net worth of $1.3 billion. However, a large sum of Johnson's assets are tied up in various investments and a network of businesses. That, in addition to a divorce settlement of around $400 million+ dollars in recent years, heavily effected his bottom line.

A source told The Beast that several of his businesses require a lot of upfront cash, which he can't afford these days. So, selling the Bobcats was almost needed for Johnson to stay afloat.

"Bob is in a lot of businesses that require a lot of upfront capital expenditures, like hotels and gaming," a financial world source close to Johnson said, "so he needs to husband cash flow for the assets that are growing rather than the ones that are not."

Much of Johnson's assets are hard assets that don't convert to cash too easily, nor do they generate much either. The report says they actually tend to appreciate in value over time, but how long can he fork out cash that's not coming in?

With the value of real estate, banking, gaming, and auto assets going down the tubes in the past few years, Johnson's fortune fell with them. Basically, "he's invested very poorly," a former colleague said.

The biggest strain on his fortune was the Bobcats, so flipping it to Jordan at a loss made more sense to Johnson than to continue losing his available cash each year. "No one has ever lost money on an NBA franchise, and I don't think anybody ever will," Johnson told USA Today in 2006. Despite the comment, Johnson reportedly sunk $300 million into obtaining the franchise rights for the team in 2002 and pledged to invest a further $30 million on top of that.

Under Johnson's direction, the team has lost between $20 million and $25 million per year, or around $200 million total, sources said. "He's put up a lot of cash, and he's nearly lost it all," said a former colleague.

In short, Johnson isn't exactly broke at the moment, but his finances are dwindling quickly in the money pit of investments he owns. If he doesn't act quickly, he may not have anything left.

He's not necessarily broke, but as far as the billionaire title goes..naaah, not anymore. Props to him for being the 1st Black man to do so though...but...y'know.

floyd is already a billionaire.

BELEE DAT!!!!

so what you're saying is that you know more than the people at forbes?

Shit, they should hire you my nigga. You're talking as if the nigga works an hourly wage.

It doesn't mean he has to work for 475 million every year or whatever stupid shit you said.

You caught feelings like they got your bum-ass on the payroll. Point of the post is what good is having all that money when you complaining about a lack of sleep and working crazy long hours? That's Regular Joe shit. With 400 million, why aren't you doing exactly what you want and sleeping as much as you want? It's fucking stupid to have regular complaints when you have extraordinary means unless you're doing Regular Joe shit and living check to check. Invest properly and sit the fuck down somewhere. Russell Simmons is doing it big. Nigga don't do shit but yoga and eat like a panda.

If Forbes takes that liquidating plus expenses into account, I appreciate the knowledge drop. Otherwise, kick rocks.

 

[weezyfgarbage]

lol so we're blaming jews for an investment in the bobcats?

 

[Focal Point]

1. lmao at the Diddy gifs and pics
