50 Cent’s rise in notoriety, both as a public figure and financially, has always had a root cause. 50 Cent’s Vitaminwater deal was one of the biggest achievements he has had outside of his music career.

The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper has had notable top deals, including the one with TV network Starz, which earned him about $150 million. Of course, that was one of the biggest deals 50 Cent embraced while taking a break from his rap career.

In the case of the 50 Cent and Vitaminwater deal, 50 Cent loved partnering with such companies. He was able to sign a deal. 50 Cent is a rapper, sure that’s his root point, but he also hones his focus on any business that will bring money to the table.

Meanwhile, the ‘In Da Club’ rapper might have seen how the Vitaminwater deal paved the way for most of the hip-hop sensations like Jay-Z, Diddy, and more. He then told his late Chris Lighty that he wanted a water bottle deal, noting that there was a stark price difference between Poland Spring and other companies.

Trapital confirmed 50 Cent’s deal with Vitaminwater, which he started as a test run in 2004 but later turned into a big deal. The company’s income grew massively from $100 million to $700 million in 2007. Then in May 2007, Coca-Cola bought Glaceau for $4.1 billion, and 50 Cent got paid.

“People were talking about how much money I made, but I was focused on the fact that $4.1 billion was made,” 50 told Zack O’Malley Greenburg, this list’s co-creator, back in 2008. “I think I can do a bigger deal in the future.”

50 Cent’s Vitaminwater deal isn’t the only deal he has earned from. Apart from the Starz network TV Show deal, another deal that made 50 Cent a hugely successful rapper like Jay-Z and P. Diddy is his $78 million deal with FRIGO Revolution Wear.

50 Cent is one of the rappers with the most mind-blowing deals hip-hop has seen so far. They include 50 Cent himself, Jay-Z, Diddy, Birdman, Russell Simmons, Dr. Dre, and Lil Wayne.

50 Cent can’t be left out of any big doings that hip-hop has accomplished. His album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and In Da Club have always paved the way for him even to this date. He’s always been a big hip-hop tycoon in the history of hip-hop.

The rapper is taking his Friend’s TV appearance to a new level. 50 is now working on a TV adaptation of Eminem’s ‘8 Mile’. He confirmed he is working on the project with Slim Shady.
