Curtis James Jackson III, also known professionally as ‘50 Cent’, is an American rapper, actor, producer, author, and entrepreneur born and raised in South Jamaica, Queens. He quickly emerged to become one of the most prominent rappers in the early 2000’s. His debut album, “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” remains one of the most iconic albums in hip-hop history. Recorded in a New York safe house after surviving an attempted murder and being dropped by Columbia Records, his acclaimed album went on to sell 9 million copies.
Surviving 9 gunshot wounds to his body at the age of 25 had a profound impact on 50 Cent’s existence. He reflected on this period as a wake up call, compelling him to capitalize on his newfound lease on life.
Now at 48, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s life is a manifestation of the promise he made to himself 24 years ago. With 30 million albums sold worldwide, his accolades include a Grammy Award, Primetime Emmy Award, thirteen Billboard Music Awards, and six World Music Awards.
Among his illustrious and long standing career in the music industry, 50 Cent has also found much success as a New York Times best selling author, an actor, and also a producer. Perhaps one of his greatest business deals was back in 2007 where he made an estimated $100M after selling his stake in VitaminWater.
50 Cent is no different than most rappers when it comes to flaunting his wealth and success. His collection stands out in a league of its own, alongside rap icons like Lil Wayne, Tyler the Creator, and Jay Z. A man with a passion for expensive rides, his massive car collection includes a Bugatti Chiron estimated at $3.2 million, a Maserati MC12, an Enzo Ferrari and many more.
When asked which of his cars is his personal favorite, 50 Cent went with his Custom Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. With a price tag of almost half a million, this 2019 Aventador sports a 6.5-liter V12 engine pushing 740 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque.
It reaches 0-60 in 3 seconds and has a massive top speed of 217 mph, but what truly makes this specimen standout is the premium Versace blue and yellow wrap.
The most expensive and perhaps the fastest car in his fleet is a stunning 2020 Bugatti Chiron. 50 admits to splurging $3.2 million on the hypercar in 2019 after having a few drinks on Christmas. Equipped with an 8.0-liter W16 engine, this powerhouse produces 1500 horsepower and 1180 lb-ft of torque, enabling an impressive acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds. Its top speed is equally astounding, reaching a breathtaking 261 mph.
Possibly one of 50 Cent’s most eye-popping rides is hisGold Bentley Mulsanne. Priced at $303,981 and equipped with a 6.5-liter V8 engine that produces 505 hp, it can complete a 0-60 mph sprint in 4.9 seconds accompanied with a top speed of 184 mph. It may not be the fastest or even priciest car he owns, but we can all agree nothing expresses 50 Cent’s lavish lifestyle quite like a Gold Bentley.
Next up on the list is a car many people have never seen or even heard of.White Lightning is a one-off ‘jet car’ designed by 50 himself and executed by Parker Brothers Concepts. It was constructed as part of the SyFy series “Dream Machines”. For those of you who may not know, Parker Brother Concepts is a company that specializes in unconventional prototypes and movie cars. They are also well known for their work on a Mars Rover which caught the attention of NASA.
Although most of the vehicle's specifications are closed to the public, it is valued at $1.5 Million and isrumored to have a top speed of 250 mph. The jet-inspired car was built entirely from scratch. By far the rarest car in the collection, its design blends the sleek sophistication of a supercar with the extraterrestrial appearance of a spaceship.
For his 43rd birthday, 50 Cent gifted himself an extravagantRolls-Royce Phantom Drophead, a stark contrast to his Gold Bentley Mulsanne. This luxurious convertible is customized with a distinct rainbow oil-slick paint job and shiny chrome rims, a design meticulously chosen by 50 Cent to elevate its aesthetic appeal. Graced with a 6.7-liter V12 engine, this Phantom Drophead delivers a formidable performance with 453 horsepower, enabling an impressive 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 5.3 seconds. The car's interior matches its grandeur, featuring a leather and wood-lined cabin and a premium Lexicon stereo system with 16 speakers, priced around $550,000.
50 Cent's collection features the exceptionally rare and luxurious Enzo Ferrari, valued at around$2.4 million. This exclusive supercar, named after Ferrari's founder, is one of only 375 in the world. The vehicle is equipped with a powerful F140 V12 engine, reaching speeds nearly 220 mph and accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Despite his ban from purchasing future Ferraris due to a social media incident, 50 Cent's ownership of this high-performance, limited-edition vehicle underscores his taste for unique and high-value cars.
