Forbes: The Biggest Celebrity Paydays Of 2007
Jackson told Forbes he predicted Coca-Cola (nyse: KO – news - people ) would snap up the fledgling company. Sure enough, on June 7, Coca Cola acquired Glac?au for $4.1 billion, netting the rapper $100 million a month before his 31st birthday. That payout earned him the No. 2 slot on the Forbes Celebrity Paydays list.
Jay-Z banked $82 million (before taxes) when he sold his urban apparel line Rocawear to Iconix Brand Group in a deal topping $204 million.
For the slow people, no this does not mean 50 Cent has greater total worth than Jay-Z and he never did. Nonetheless they both so rich, adding more money won’t even make a difference to them. Damn just give me a million and I’m good…
