50 Cent Spends A Million In Security Yearly

November 8th, 2009

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.

Full Story: CNN

I guess 50 Cent will never go to jail for a gun charge…

You got to keep a clear head and worriying about who wants to harm you ain’t keeping a clear head.

The only thing he has to worry about is his money.

Regardless of anything negative u gotta say about his security…….50 Cent is alive. He got 500 million so he can stay alive for another 500 years. He’ll wake up in heavin and still have protection after he dies of natural causes. His wings and halo will be bulletproof and there will be mad “guardian” angels around him so can’t no1 in heaven fuck wit him. lol.

But on some real shit…….The average rapper will get shot after their first or maybe 2nd gold or platinum album. So why not spend the money n stay alive? 50 got so much money, he can burn money to stay warm this winter n still be rich as shit

LOL @ people who know how much money 50 has,I guess his accountant/s blogs on RTNY.

Don’t even bring me that Forbes list talk cause those are “estimates” of how much such and such made during a year before taxes.
Another thing net worth is not how money one has,there are a lot of factors that goes into it such as influence in show business,tv appearances/magazines cover/internet hits,etc.

For instance when they say Bill Gates’ net worth is 50 Billion Dollars that does not mean he has 50 billion Dollars.

Yeah…it also goes to show how…wrapped up these niggaz are in “lyrics’ and not using common sense. I mean…why not spend the money pro actively instead of waiting for a lawsuit…The chick knows when she sleep with 50..it is on camera. Yep…and no phoney set up Gun Charges for 50….I’m a grown ass man…and I shouldn’t say this…b.u.t. 50 is turning out to be my HERO.
This nigga is applying Block rules on you bitch ass niggas. He looking out for his people..way more than the normal DEALS the white boy throw at you. This is why the only niggas that worked for him that are disgruntled were just stupid. You can’t say…”It’s not what he did to me…it’s what I didn’t do for them”….naaaaaaa…50 did it for you…and YOU fucked it up.

Legitimate security and legally licenced armed guards sounds smart to me. He’d be a fucking fool to try to appease the low level street thugs and risk all he’s achieved by having hood security.

When a rapper gets shot or killed, they say he shoulda been smart and had security because he’s famous

YALL DUMB ASSES…

IF U HAD THE MONEY U WOULD DO THE SAME JUST FOR UR SECURITY.
I AINT FAMOUS BUT IF I HAD DOUGH ID HAVE CAMS EVERYWHERE.
MY HOUSE WOULD BE HI-TECH LIKE BILL GATES.

PLUS HE HAS A SON. SO ITS FOR HIS FAMILY AS WELL.
AND WHEN PPL KNOW UR RICH THEY TRY TO FIND WAYS TO SUIT U FOR MONEY.
50 MADE A VALID POINT OF THAT.

“THINK TWICE NOT ONCE…”

@#3 Yo. you are out of your mind. First off any MAJOR entertainer spends massive cake on protection not just 50 (not just rappers) EVERY MIANSTREAN ENTERTAINER. So you can go ahead and join biggie and pac with statements like that.
