50 Cent Almost Rich as Oprah

50 Cent isn't just the top-earning hip-hop artist, he's also the second highest earning African-American entertainer, according to Forbes. 50 pulled down an estimated $150 million between June 2007 and June 2008 to place second behind Oprah Winfrey, who earned $275 million in the same period. 50 raked in $100 million of that when his stake in Vitamin Water's parent company, Glaceau, was bought by Coca-Cola. He's also generating big bucks with his popular G-Unit brand of clothes and shoes. 50's $150 million was also good enough to place him at the top of Forbes' 2008 Hip-Hop Cash Kings ahead of Jay-Z, Diddy, and Rick Ross.
