50 JUST GOT PAID

Last year, 50 Cent locked up an endorsement deal with Glaceau water that included stock options, and now that Coke has bought Glaceau for $4.1 billion, that stock is worth 100 million dollars (mu-hah-hah-hah).  Page Six says:

A year ago, Forbes profiled Fitty, who parlayed his thug image into a business empire including a deal with Glaceau, which named a flavor after him in exchange for equity in the company. The rapper said he thought the label had promise and could one day be gobbled up by Coke. Now, Coca-Cola's $4.1 billion agreement to buy Glaceau, maker of Vitamin Water, is making him $100 million richer.

In a related story, I discovered that plasma companies keep shoddy records and you can sell twice in the same day if you time the shift change right.  Sure there are some side effects, but … aww, jeez … I don’t feel so WHUMP.
