    50 Cent Is In No Rush To Become A Billionaire, Would Rather Be Called “Very Rich”

    As many lucrative avenues of income that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson may have, he hasn’t quite reached billionaire status yet, and he has no interest in doing so.

    The TV mogul, businessman and revered rapper recently covered Us Weekly , where he was asked if his pockets had gotten deep enough to catapult him into the billionaire range. However, 50 pushed back against the prestigious label, saying that he’d rather be called “very rich.”

    “I’m not in a hurry to reach billionaire status,” he told the outlet. “I’ve reached a point where I don’t want anything I don’t have. What’s the rush? I’ve bought every car I wanted, multiple times over.”

    Although money can bring happiness, 50 further detailed what comes along with reaching such a high status.

    “When people publicly say you’re a billionaire, they come for what you have ,” he explained. “The IRS might suddenly decide they want 58 percent of your money. The ambulance chasers, the attorneys — it’s an army of ’em after you. Then you’d have to protect yourself because you have deep pockets.”

    Instead of being called a billionaire, Fif said he’d prefer being called, “very rich.”

    Whether he wants it or not, the 49-year-old is deemed to reach billionaire status one day if his many ventures continue to have onward success.

    Besides his TV and film projects — including his upcoming docuseries focused on disgraced music mogul, Diddy — he also has his Power universe franchise on Starz, which will further expand from its most recent chapter Ghost: Book II.

    The Queens rapper also has had equity in Vitamin Water and Effen vodka, as well as private companies, real estate, stocks, and bonds. In 2012, Fif also became a licensed boxing promoter and formed his company, TMT (The Money Team).
