50 Cent has knocked Jay-Z off the top of Forbes‘ Hip-Hop Cash King list, after raking in a mind-numbing $150 million over the past 12 months — almost twice what previous No. 1 spot-holder Jay-Z made.
The majority of Fiddy’s cash came in one deal alone — when his stake in VitaminWater’s parent, Glacéau, was bought by Coca-Cola as part of a $4.1 billion deal.
The rap mogul’s portfolio also includes the G-Unit clothing line and record label, plus films, videogames and albums.
The rest include No. 3 Diddy, who raked in a respectable $35 million. Kanye West ranks No. 4, banking $30 million and producer extradonaire Timbaland rounding off the top five with $22 million.

Yes he definately did get veneers! His teeth used to be terrible I remember. That’s a crazy amount of money for a rapper to be making, especially one who hasn’t brought out any new music in ages. Good for him I guess. He came from a pretty poor background so it’s kind of nice to see him succeed. I’m just always iffy about where the money goes with some of these guys, they are all involved in rap wars and stuff and I’m sure there is a lot more underground stuff going on there than is talked about.
