He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, ‘If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.’ “People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can’t believe it is such a big deal.”
This week, rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, admitted that he spends $20,000 a week on security at his Farmington, Connecticut, mansion. “My home is surrounded by cameras. I need surveillance not only to look out for me but also to protect me. You get all these crazy lawsuits, and I need cameras to check on things.”
Jackson’s security costs work out to a little over $1 million a year. Although spending more on security in two weeks than the average American’s yearly income may seem excessive, Jackson’s expenditures are in the lower end of what most high-profile individuals pay to protect themselves, their families and their property.
