His wealth is tied to stock assets? Stock assets of what? It can't be any of the companies he owns, those companies don't make any money. You telling me 50 is getting paid off the stock of SMS promotions...which filed for bankruptcy...? He is getting rich off the stock and financial assets of a bankrupt company?
I don't have access to 50 Cent's financial portfolio to know which stocks he owns, but I'm pretty sure I can safely assume he has a diversified portfolio of bonds, stocks, and mutual funds of all types of companies. The stock he owns doesn't necessarily have to come from his own companies. This statement alone is enough to tell me you don't have a clue what you're talking about. I think for whatever reason your too emotionally invested in believing 50 Cent is broke instead of looking at things clearly.
People keep running with this "50 said he himself is not rich his businesses are"...HOW ARE THEY RICH WHEN HE IS HAVING TO FILE BANKRUPTCY AGAINST THEM...
.
Not all bankruptcies are the same.
When you say "Bankrupt" most people are actually thinking of a specific type of bankruptcy - something called Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Chapter 7 is for people who are broke. They owe far more money than they can ever hope to pay back. Rather than languish in this forever, or putting them into debtors prison, the government allows people and companies to say "I got no money, take what assets I do have, sell em and give the money to people I owe money to."
But 50 Cent filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This isn't him saying "I'm broke!" this is him saying "I'm insolvent." He's basically saying that the size of the debt he has is more than the cash he currently has on hand - but not more than the amount of assets he owns. In effect he's saying he can't pay right now because his wealth is largely held in non-liquid assets, i.e. houses, cars, etc.
Basically, this is less about 50 Cent having no money, and more about him having no cash. Chapter 11 bankruptcy will actually protect his assets. They'll come up with a plan (like him selling 5% of a stock he owns or something) rather than just selling off everything he owns as they would in Chapter 7.
