50 Cent has revealed that he thinks he’s spent about $23 million in legal fees since 2003 — the same year he released his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
Whether it be for his three arrests, hammering out child support payments, business deals like his Sire Spirits, music or TV contracts, filing for bankruptcy, or even his latest lawsuit somehow involving the size of his penis, the G-Unit mogul seemingly has always needed an attorney at all stages of his adult life.
The G-Unit mogul joined Brian J. Roberts for an interview earlier this month where he disclosed that he’s spent around eight figures in legal fees since bursting onto the mainstream stardom radar.
“I spent over $23 million legal fees since I had success in 2003,” he disclosed which actually shocked him. “So when you say you successful or you rich in a different way, that money was just written off as expenses of business. You in it and I’m going, ‘What?’ When I’m looking at it myself, ‘That’s how much you really spent on that?’
“The only thing someone in America can do is sue someone. They’re gonna sue and there always gonna be pro-bono or say, ‘We’ll defend you for 30 percent of what we receive off of this because we do see a case.'”
