Default 50 cent makes $400 mill on sale of vitamin water

I just heard this.

Is it true?

Supposely coca-cola bought vitamin water for $4.1 billion in cash, and he had 10% of the company.

It's pretty interesting for the fact that it (probably) makes him the richest man in hip-hop (the list is from August '06):

1. P. Diddy -- $346 Million
2. Jay-Z -- $340 Million
3. Russell Simmons -- $325 Million
4. Damon Dash -- $200 Million
5. Neptunes -- $155 Million
6 Dr. Dre -- $150 Million
7. Ice Cube -- $145 Million
8. Eminem -- $110 Million
9. 50 Cent -- $100 Million
10. Nelly -- $60 Million
10. (Tie) Jermaine Dupri -- $60 Million

Apologies for the nittiness, but I'm pretty sure he knew what it was all about from the subject, he opened it to be snarky.

I heard on Chicago sports radio Brian Urlacher had 1% of the company and made something like 40 million of this. Apparently, VW didn't pay for endorsements, but instead gave them stock options.

I know for a fact that he had no where near 10% of the company.
