50 Cent banks $400 million bucks on Coca-Cola deal...

[pisces_ken02]

Rapper 50 Cent is going straight to the bank - he's reportedly received a massive $400 million pay check after The Coca-Cola Company bought the firm behind his energy drink Formula 50 last week . Drinks makers Glaceau, which produces the Vitamin Water range inspired by the Candy Shop star, was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company for $4.1 billion last Friday.

DAMN

Go shorty-It's ya birthday! I'm so happy for him! He doesn't have to make another record again. I think he has more money than P-diddy! I remember when he got his first break with Eminem. Now this! He should give Eminem a nice Rolls Royce or at least a rim job!

Glad smaddy started a thread about this.

Awesome news.

Its funny because they just published the top 10 richest rappers and 50 placed 3rd behind Diddy and Jay Z with $440 million. Obviously that was before he signed the deal because now he is worth $840 million.

He made an investment, and it paid off..

Isn't the world of business great

Dosnt look like its totally true im afraid!!!!-

In an exclusive interview, MediaTakeOut.com spoke with an investment banker familiar with the proposed Energy Brands acquisition. And according to the banker, 50's equity interest in the beverage company is far less than 10%. The banker explains, "50 Cent has a licensing agreement with Energy Brands which pays him a set fee and gives him a percentage of the sales from Formula 50 [The flavor specifically designed by 50]. He does not own a significant interest in the company ... The 10% number you hear is pure fiction."

But don't feel too sorry for the multi-platinum selling rapper. According to the banker, 50 Cent's current deal with Energy Brands is worth many millions of dollars. Tells the Wall St. whiz, "[Energy Brands] has a number of celebrities who endorse their products, including Brain Urlacher, Shaquille O'Neill, and Allen Iverson. But the endorsement deal with 50 Cent is, by far, the most substantial."

Energy Brands was founded in 1996. Since then it's become the market leader in the enhanced water arena.
