OH yeah , 50 Cent getting $400 Mill for his water drink. Where do I sign up to sell my soul to the devil like some of these celebs must have.

No, he didn't. He owns 10% of one brand, not 10% of Glaceau.

While 50 Cent (real name: Curtis Jackson) did very well on the deal, Forbes reports that he took home just $100 million from the sale.

Only $100 million. Weaksauce.

Sources say he was pretty much broke before the deal too. He was about to put his house up on the market before that payday.

This is off topic, but does anyone else think 50 is on the juice. He looks enormous...but has shown some tell tale signs of steroid use.

No, he didn't. He owns around 10% of his one brand according to Glaceau insiders, not 10% of Glaceau.

The report is wrong, is the point. Believe it or not, your random link & Forbes is not the Ultimate Authority of Everything.

'word spread that 50 Cent would take home $400 million as an owner of 10 percent of Glaceau's stock'

See, this is wrong for example. He owns 10% of the Fifty-cent sub-brand of Vita Water.

'However, a spokesperson for Energy Brands responds "While 50 Cent and many other world re-known celebrities have very lucrative and fruitful partnerships with our brand, any report stating personal figures of ownership in our company are erroneous at this time. Glaceau and Mr. Jackson have a deal in place that grants him partial ownership in his own brand. Both parties remain excited about the future of our relationship."'
