If you let 50 Cent tell it he's "Got Money." That may be true, but in a recent interview with The Canadian Press, the rapper revealed that he too is suffering from the effects of the poor economy.

According to reports, 50 put his 19-bedroom mansion, formerly owned by Mike Tyson, up for sale last year. Despite it's 37 bathrooms, 40 person hot tub, and stripper poles, the $18.5 million abode has failed to secure a buyer. In a twist of irony, the rapper says that the fate of it's former owner has been making him more aware of making good financial decisions.

"I'm waking up in a room that was previously Mike Tyson's bedroom, a fighter who earned over $500 million in his actual career, and when I purchased his house from him he was in bankruptcy," he said. "If that's not a strong enough reminder for you, I don't know what's going to remind you to be aware of where you are financially and make conscious decisions."

Although he is cautious, 50 says that he has not been able to protect all of his bread, as he has lost millions in the ailing stock market.

"Well yeah, I lost a couple million dollars already; you see what I'm saying? I sit with my investors and business managers and accountants looking at the numbers and I'm like, 'Yo, the values of stocks in different areas that I invested in are decreasing!' So I take the loss like everybody else."

Wie 50 Cent in einem Interview zugab, kostet ihm derzeit die Rezession Millionen, da der Börsen-Crash natürlich auch nicht vor Superstars halt macht:

“Nun ja, ich habe bereits ein paar Millionen an der Börse verloren. Ich sitze in Meetings mit meinen Investoren, Manager und Buchhalter und meine nur immer wieder: “Yo, einige Aktien in die ich investiere sind schon wieder gefallen”. Aber letztendlich muss ich den Verlust hinnehmen, wie jeder andere auch! Ich wache jeden Morgen in einem Haus auf, das einst Mike Tyson gehörte. Einem Typen der früher 500 Millionen Dollar schwer war. Als ich ihm das Haus damals abkaufte war er bankrott. Wenn dich sowas nicht wachrüttelt und dir zeigt, wie schnell es den Bach runter gehen kann, dann weiß ich auch nicht. Traurig, aber wahr. Sein Schicksal hilft mir, meine finanziellen Entscheidungen besser zu überdenken.”

Aber da Fiddy in den letzten Jahren ja fleissig Banknoten gehortet hat, muss man sich um seine Finanzen wohl keine Sorgen machen.
