Biography
He was born on July 6, 1975, in Queens, New York, as Curtis James Jackson III.
His mom, Sabrina, worked as a drug dealer. She was killed at age 23, when he was just eight years old.
“I didn’t understand it,” he later said. “I think shock is the best way to describe how I felt when my mother died.”
Curtis began boxing at about age 11.
At age 12, he started selling drugs on the streets.
“I was so young that working wasn’t an option, so that’s when I was dealing,” Hackson revealed.
On June 29, 1994, the rapper was arrested for selling four vials of cocaine to undercover police.
In May 2020, he was struck by nine bullets during a shooting.

Jackson has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
In 2003, he and Marc Ecko co-founded the G-Unit Clothing Company. In its first year, the clothing retailer had over $55 million in sales.

From 2004 to 2007, Vitaminwater’s sales surged from $100 million to $700 million.

“People were talking about how much money I made, but I was focused on the fact that $4.1 billion was made,” Jackson declared at the time.
In 2014, he signed a $78 million deal with FRIGO Revolution Wear to promote men’s underwear.
Also in 2014, Curtis inked with Effen Vodka. In 2017, Jackson cut ties with Effen Vodka for a reported $60 million buyout.

He reported $32.5 million in debts and $10 – 50 million in assets (though he later testified under oath to only $4.4 million).
He has admitted that it was a “strategic business move” to reorganise his finances.
In June 2016, Jackson was ordered to pay $23.4 million over a period of 5 years.
In February 2017, Curtis had paid off his debt – $8.7 million of his funds and $13.65 million from a legal malpractice settlement (Jackson alleged that he was ill-advised by his law firm in a deal for a new line of headphones). Therefore, 50 Cent has an estimated net worth of $65 million.
