50 Cent has been a mogul in the music industry since he started. Business deals with huge companies like Reebok for his shoe line, Ecko for his clothing line, Coca-Cola for his Vitamin Water Brand and Right Guard for his own line of deorderant spray gave him the number one spot on Forbes' Hip Hop Cash Kings [read here], passing Jay-Z and Diddy.
Rumors had been going around that 50 was making a deal with South Africa's Patrice Motsepe, as they have been meeting for over a year. Motsepe owns a mining and minerals company worth $2.5 billion and now Forbes is now speculating the two are starting a line of platinum jewelry that will feature 50's name. Will 50 Cent have his own jewelry line? Time will tell.
