Don’t believe what you read about 50 cent making millions.

MediaTakeOut.com spoke with an investment banker familiar with the proposed Energy Brands acquisition. And according to the banker, 50′s equity interest in the beverage company is far less than 10%. The banker explains, “50 Cent has a licensing agreement with Energy Brands which pays him a set fee and gives him a percentage of the sales from Formula 50 [The flavor specifically designed by 50]. He does not own a significant interest in the company … The 10% number you hear is pure fiction.”
