Celebrity Spotlight September 25th, 2007

Kanye West may be outselling 50 Cent’s album, but Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is fast becoming the new reigning hip-hop mogul. At 32 years of age, and $32 million in 2006 earnings, Jackson made No. 2 on Forbes’ Hip Hop Cash Kings list, far ahead of West.
On 50 Cent’s MySpace page you’ll find the release of “Forbes 1, 2, 3,” a remix featuring Jay-Z, who topped the list with earnings of $34 million last year, and Sean “Diddy” Combs, who came in third with $28 million. Each kicks off his stanza by bragging, “I run New York.”
