Rap mogul 50 Cent broke into the Top Ten of the Forbes Celebrity100 list this year. The rapper earned an estimated $41 million from June 2005 to June 2006 from record and ringtones sales, his G-Unit clothing line, Reebok sneaker deal, and his Vitamin Water drink to land at Number Eight on the list.

The rapper explained that money does cause things to change. He said,

“They say things you go through make you who you are. I lived the lifestyle that they owuld consider a succesful lifesytle for the last three years. You know, but I’ve been that because I’ve been writing about my experiences in South Jamaica, Queens. You know, so I don’t actually want to change much, but anyone who tells you that money don’t change you just didn’t make enough.”

The rest of the Celebrity 100 Top Ten includes: (1) Tom Cruise – $67 million, (2) Rolling Stones – $90 million, (3) Oprah Winfrey – $225 million, (4) U2 – $110 million, (5) Tiger Woods – $90 million, (6) Steven Spielberg – $332 million, (7) Howard Stern – $302 million, (9) Cast of Sopranos – $52 million, and (10) Dan Brown – $88 million.

Next up for 50 Cent is the release of Lloyd Banks’ sophomore album, The Rotten Apple. The album is scheduled to hit stores next month.
