We’re not surprised to hear that 50 Cent made a wise business decision and now it’s staring to pay off.<br /><br />The rapper took to Instagram in a series of posts to boast about his Bitcoin success and TMZ reports that it all started with a deal he made back in 2014.<br /><br />Fifty apparently accepted Bitcoin as payment for his album Animal Ambition, and at the time, the cryptocurrency was worth $662 per coin.<br /><br />And from what we hear, he amassed around 700 coins. <br /><br />Now each coin is worth about ten thousand to twelve thousand dollars each.<br /><br />So do the math: that’s about an $8.5 million haul.<br /><br />You also need to keep in mind that 50 has investments in Vitamin Water, and his share shot up when the brand was bought by Coca Cola in 2007.<br /><br />Guess he needs to change his name from 50 Cent to… well.. anything else.<br />
