Wait, he was broke? Well, at the time, he did Instagram himself sitting next to the word “BROKE” spelled out in piles of $100 bills, so who am I to argue?
But now he is rich again? This is apparently how 50 Cent operates. Before his bankruptcy, he reportedly made $100m when Vitamin Water – one of his early investments – was sold to Coca-Cola. But then he lost all his money. And now he is rich again, all because he forgot about a cryptocurrency that is in the grip of an unsustainable paroxysm of hyperinflation.
What are we supposed to learn from this? Oh, that nothing matters. You can work as hard as you like, but you will never achieve the success a rapper had by literally forgetting to cash in some made-up money. Nothing has any point any more. We should all just give up.
