50 CENT NETS $400 MILLION FROM COCA-COLA DEAL

Ok, so Fifty is literally laughing all the way to the bank........

50 CENT is going straight to the bank - he's reportedly received a massive $400 million paycheck after The Coca-Cola Company bought the firm behind his energy drink Formula 50 last week.

Drinks makers Glaceau, which produces the Vitamin Water range inspired by the rapper, was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company for $4.1 billion last Friday. Since 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - owns a 10 per cent share of Glaceau, he also made a huge profit from the takeover, according to AllHipHop.com.

50 also shows off his classical skills in a new TV advertisement for the energy drink, when he conducts a symphony orchestra through a rendition of his breakthrough hit, In Da Club.
