50 Cent might have a $440 million net worth but according to CNN it takes him $20,000 a week to keep his empire and his Connecticut mansion safe and intact with private security costs. Do the math and it’s over $1 million a year to keep 50 Cent safe and sound and free from any of his past-life goonery.

“My home is surrounded by cameras. I need surveillance not only to look out for me but also to protect me. You get all these crazy lawsuits, and I need cameras to check on things,” stated 50 Cent.

Although $20K a week might seem excessive, according to private security professionals like retired New York Police Detective Thomas Werther, it’s actually on the cheaper end. Maybe that’s because 50 also like to hire some of the “local” protection instead of trained armed forces cats.

“For one day, if you need one truck with a driver and three security agents, you are looking at $4,000 a day, and use that four days a week, then you can easily see spending $20,000 a week. For a guy like 50 Cent, that seems like a modest expense, especially if you are factoring in home security,” Werther explained.

All in all, considering the enemies that 50 Cent must have from his past, and all those jealous haters out there $20K is well worth it to keep him and his multiple businesses safe. Next he needs is to beef up his internet security though to make sure ThisIs50 doesn’t get hacked into. No…Norton anti-virus is not going to solve the problem.
