50 Cent’s Car Collection Is A Cocktail Of Expensive And Rare Automobiles

With a net worth of $40 million as of the first quarter of 2024, 50 Cent is a perfect example of modern success, filled with circumstances. However, hip-hop became his escape from his previous life and he finally got his break with the release of “Get Rich or Die Trying” in 2003.

50 Cent battled against the odds for a very long time, and as his fame and fortune grew he started adding exotic machines to his garage. In this article, we are going to delve into 50 Cent’s car collection and how each car serves as a tangible reminder of his journey from adversity to prosperity.

50 Cent's First Car Turned Out To Be Life-Threatening

50 Cent was having fun back in 1994 when he dropped $53,000 hard cash for his first car - a charcoal gray Toyota Land Cruiser. He added new wheels and even fitted a new sound system to it, just chilling and vibing like a proper rapper. All of that came crashing down upon an incident just a few months later.

According to Forbes, the "21 Questions" singer once pulled up with his Toyota to a red light in his neighborhood and a guy pulled next to him. The guy leaned and asked 50 Cent, "Yo... where's Black at?" It took moments for 50 Cent to realize that he owned the exact same car as the "Black" guy (probably a gangster) which could lead to being a target in the neighborhood.

50 Cent wasted zero time taking his Land Cruiser back to the dealership the next day and swapped his Toyota with a White Mercedes-Benz 400 SEL. As for the moral of the story, even a Land Cruiser can drag you down to unwanted neighborhood drama despite being famous.

50 Cent's Rolls-Royce And Bentley: Uncharted Love For Luxury

Like most celebrities, 50 Cent has been an admirer of Rolls-Royce and Bentley Automotive but his 2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead and 2012 Bentley Mulsanne scream finesse, luxury, and comfort at the same time. Let's take a closer look at these two masterpieces:

50 Cent's Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead: 50 Cent showcased the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead with its own customized rainbow oil-slick paint while shooting for Entourage with Turtle back in 2009. The 453-hp V12 convertible is probably his second-favorite car according to DJ Envy as he often takes care of most of 50 Cent's personal cars. The Drophead had an original sticker price of $585,000 making it one of the most expensive cars in 50 Cent's car collection.

50 Cent's Rolls-Royce Cullinan: Another 'must-have' car in 50 Cent's car collection is a 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan. 50 Cent gifted himself an orange Rolls-Royce Cullinan on his 44th birthday costing him $325,000.

50 Cent's Gold Bentley Mulsanne: Most of us have seen how 50 Cent has a crazy hobby of possessing gold chains and rings, and this hasn't stopped until now. His 2012 Gold Bentley Mulsanne is a prime example of that - just like a fine bottle of champagne. Customized with a Gold lamination job, the Gold Mulsanne has a satellite-based multimedia system and a top speed of 184 mph making it tech-savvy and performance-heavy at the same time.

50 Cent's Exquisite Lamborghini Fleet

50 Cent has been known for having a special taste in the Italian supercar manufacturer. For a long period of time, the American rapper had a number of Lamborghinis in his garage and we are here to look at some of his most iconic Lambos.

50 Cent's Custom Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster: Arguably, the most talked about Lamborghini in 50 Cent's car collection is his "Versace" wrapped 2020 Lamborghini Aventador S. It's also 50 Cent's favorite car among his other automobiles. The stock car is priced at more than $500K but it wasn't enough for the rapper. We all know how he likes to match his cars with his outfits and that resulted in wrapping the Aventador with a one-of-a-kind custom lamination job.

The car ended up in the prime spotlight when 50 Cent revealed that his Lamborghini was stolen by his long-time friend and rapper Snoop Dogg. 50 Cent and Snoop were performing the “Pimp” remix at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center back in 2019 and after Snoop's performance ended, he took 50 Cent's "Versace" Lamborghini and held it hostage for some days.

50 Cent's Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster: When 50 Cent was at his prime with the top-charting album ‘The Massacre,' he celebrated its release by purchasing a blue-colored 2005 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster for more than $300,000.

Later, he sold the Murcielago, and surprisingly it ended up in the hands of the rapper, Vanilla Ice. Fred Fishback, who was previously the owner of the Murcielago after 50 Cent, had no idea who 50 Cent was at that time. Only after selling the car to Vanilla Ice, does Fred realize what a once-in-a-lifetime chance he missed.

50 Cent's Lamborghini Urus: Lastly, the fastest utility vehicle in the market so far, the Lamborghini Urus can also be found in 50 Cent's car collection. The 4.0L V8 engine of Urus has a top speed of 190 mph yet its business-class interior gives it a solid edge prominently justifying the $200K price tag.
