Rapper 50 Cent filed for bankruptcy on Monday.
The news came as bit of a surprise since The New York Times just described him as a man of "exceptional business instincts" less than a week ago.
In May, Forbes pegged his net worth at $155 million.
50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson III, reportedly earned between $60 million and $100 million from a stake in Vitamin Water when it sold to Coca-Cola in 2007, according to The Washington Post.
