50 Cent

In the ultimate rags to riches story, rapper 50 Cent always seemed to beat the odds. Born in the New York ghetto, he lost his mom, dealt drugs, got arrested and was shot nine times - all before his 25th birthday. Just three years later he had hustled his way to the top of the charts and was worth tens of millions of dollars. So when 50 Cent filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing debts of $36million, the world was shocked. With the media, his creditors and the courts asking where his huge fortune had gone, it would prove to be another of Fifty’s tests of survival. So how did one of the world’s hottest rap stars make the front pages for being Broke and Famous?
