that 50cent is one nutty dude but is rich as fuck!
 

He got paid $5 for every album sold with Get Rich or Die Tryin. Sold 11 million that some major loot plus all the other shit he's doing. I heard he made like 50 mill in 2004. Now this "Piggy Bank" dis track is gonna make him tons more. Or end up getting shot :1orglaugh

This post just proove you know nothing about the record industry

$5 per album? thats ALOT, where did you read that?

He owns Vitamin Water, Did you know that? Well, You do now

yep....VH1 special yesterday said he made more than 50 Million last year :thumbsup

With or without the money...he's a sexy motherfucker :angel


Ivy

i'm not mad at him. he's making his paper

he can change his name from 50cent to 50 MILLION after the first cd alone :1orglaugh

he's pimping the game, and not letting the game pimp him. and that's what it's all about. :thumbsup

i hope he is doing smart things with his cash

I'm curious how much dr dre made then ;)

his label is the no1 now

lots of fucking money

didnt dre and eminem help him ALOT?

He'll be broke and giving a tearful interview on VH1's Behind the Music in about 6-7 years.

He didnt make $5 per album sold on get rich or die trying. No artists make that much per album.

Yes they did eminem produced a bunch of the new tracks

he did not get $5 per CD.

He made most of his $50 mil probably on his clothing & live performances.

true, tupac got shot and killed in september 1996

I see 50 getting shot and killed by october 2006 :2 cents:

damn,i need to start making up some internet rumors!

Bullshit...Open your eyes and think a little :thumbsup

Hi.

• 1/3 of it goes to paying back advances for distribution.
• 1/3 more goes to paying back the production costs.

&...

NO ONE makes 5 bucks an album...

Bye. :)

Most artists may be lucky to get $1 per album sale.

Exacltly... :thumbsup

I don't know what this guy's smokin' :pimp But I'll take some. :winkwink:

Artists doesnt get $1 either, more like 7 cents per sold album AFTER all expenses is paid.

Metallica are/were the highest paid artist on any label with $4 per CD.

50 owns labels and produces albums/songs. That shit means more cash. The 50 mill he made last year was album sales + G-Unit shoes and his Vitamin Water. This year will probably end up being more with new cd + movie and more album releases from other label mates.

He has it made. Gets to express himself through rap and gets paid alot.

Do you know what a VANITY LABEL is?

Stop talking out of your ass and hit Google.

With 7 centes per album, how was he able to pay for his $20 million home that he likes to brag about on interviews? How is that another of his bullshit?

For those of us that have no clue and too lazy to make a search, could you explain what it is?

5 dollars per unit? More like 5 cents.

MyNameIsEmily, what's up keyboard warrior?

How can you tell that? G-Unit Records and Interscope might just be a joint venture. Shady and Interscope is and who knows how they setup G-Unit Records.

I don't have all the facts but I don't think 50 is just another artist that collects 10 cents per album.

Actually it's Janet Jackson who is the hiest paid recording artist. But they were still paid well.

But nothing has yet to match the total net earnings of one signer/sonwriter and publisher:Garth Brooks.

But you might be right on the $4 CD thing. They could very well be the highest paid "_____" per album. But they havn't had the highest selling album in ages. 99 is was manson. 00 it was nsync, ect... The seem to always fall between 5-10.

Not bad, though. :winkwink:

Well i was wrong on my info. I was searching google for the total amount of sales for "get rich or die tryin" and i found this link. this is where i got that info from of him getting paid $5 per sale.

I quickly scanned the article and seen " get rich or die tryin" and $5 per sale at the bottom thats all i read :1orglaugh


He got paid $5 per sale on his independant album "Guess whos back" Sold 202,000 copies and that article was in 2003.

oops forgot the the link

I wonder how mutch will be left of that ofter 25 years.

i think i need some sleep im workin on 4 hours no its not pot im smoking :1orglaugh :helpme

I know he got a $1 million signing bonus for his album, which is like the most any rapper has ever gotten.

Eminem made about 14.7 million from 50's album. I don't remember where i read it, i think BET. I cannot find the link.

I do.
I do. I don't either. But he's not cranking 5 bucks a pop on an album.

Sure he's rich, but the chain of command if waaaaaaaay fucken deep.

For new producers- the standard "Production Royalty" is 3 pts. (4 at the most) Above that he has eminem, who answers to Dre, who press the stickers on on the back of the albums for Jimmy Iovine, who has to answer to the whole crew of SEAGRAM VIVENDI UNIVERSAL- who owns half the universe. By that time his +3 pts is -10.

But never the less, it's still 3 points less to worry about. :winkwink:

50 is pretty sharp. G-unit is more than just a record lable, they have clothing lines and shoes. Dude is filthy rich and owns Mike Tyson's old mansion.

I saw his interview the other night and I think his ego is getting the better of him. Now I heard this morning that him and The Game are in a huge fight.

Guy sold 11 million albums, and is living large. Why not chill and enjoy ???

AHAHAHAHAH!!!!!1 LOLZ!

Basically it's a publishing company with benefits.
Look it up. The info's not hard to find and it's very interesting.

If you know so much about the record industry why are you here?

Bubba Sparxxx is that you? :1orglaugh

Because chillin and enjoying did not help him sell 11 million last time. The Ja Rule beef helped him BIG time. Everytime he releases an album, i BET he will start a beef with people. It is all a marketing strategy on his side, and he knows the rappers will backdown. With the kind of fan base and rappers behind him, the only person that can bring him down is the people that created him. Eminem and Dr. Dre.
