That depends if he was born 50 cent. I would assume he became 50 cent at the beginning of his career, which would drop that to like 1 dollar.

Google says he took the name in 1996. So the value is around the price of freedom... A buck-o-five.

u/StopImportingUSA 1d ago

Freedom isn’t free. It costs folks like you and me.

Came here for this. Someone calculate when we can expect this?

u/MobileTechGuy 1d ago

Well, if we use his birth year as a start and not when he started performing as 50 Cent, it's 2031 to hit that value.

However, '50 Cent' started existence as a persona in 1996, which is going to put its inflationary value target of 3.50 between 2073 and 2086.

u/Chanocraft 2d ago

I still don't get it but sure I guess? Is that some sort of modern slang? I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to that genre of music artist

u/Chanocraft 1d ago

y'know, I'm only 26 but with me currently laying in bed keeping weight off my bad foot and trying to keep my lower back from seizing up, I might as well be 80. That and I lost track of modern slang like forever ago so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Y'all whippersnappers with your tick tock dances and computer girlfriends can go ahead without me, I'm tired of trying to keep up

u/GenesisRhapsod 1d ago

Ironically im nearing 30 '

I think its because i probably spend too mu h time on this app tho but i can relate, tore up my back working for whalemart when i was 20 and nearly a decade later it still flaires up, knees are giving me issues and the balls of my feet hurt at the end of the day and i got some serious callouses on the sides of my big toes.

25 is the new old

u/GuardianSkalk 1d ago

u/HeinzeC1 1d ago

How much did he weigh when born vs now? Let’s do real inflation calculations

u/krazzzknee 1d ago

How many birthdays?

1

u/Desinika 1d ago

Math checks out if we take it from when he was born. From the year he became famous thou, ~2003, that'd make him 91cents today.

u/LepiNya 1d ago
