Curtis Jackson III's Coolest Rides
50 Cent, or Curtis James Jackson III, is one of the most iconic modern hip-hop artists from the early 2000s. His debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin' made waves across the hip-hop world and brought him unprecedented fame and wealth. He's used some of that money to buy many luxury cars over the years. Here's his exotic car collection that cost way more than 50 cents.
2020 Bugatti Chiron
The fastest car in 50 Cent's collection is the 2020 Bugatti Chiron. Purchased brand-new by Jackson back in 2020, the Chiron cost him a stunning $3.2 million. The 8.0L W16 engine produces an incredible 1,479 hp, and its top speed is electronically limited to 261 mph. When 50 needs to get somewhere fast, he takes the Chiron.

2020 Bugatti Chiron (Cont'd)
Named after the famous Monégasque racing driver Louis Chiron, this Bugatti is ultra-lightweight, using an all-carbon fiber body. The electronic limitation on the speed of the Chiron is because no current tire manufacturer has built a tire that could handle the stress of the Chiron's high-speed capabilities. 50 Cent's Chiron is a Nocturne Black color.

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster
Purchased in 2019, 50's Lamborghini Aventador Roadster came with a price tag of $500,000, not including the insane wrap he had made for it: Versace blue and yellow featuring floral patterns and Medusa head on the hood—not something you can do to a Ferrari, but Lamborghini doesn't mind. So, 50 decorated this 200+mph beast in an eccentric wrap.

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster (Cont'd)
The Aventador Roadster was built for speed. Named after a Spanish fighting bull, the Aventador was produced by Lamborghini between 2011 and 2022, succeeding the Murcielago (another Lambo in 50's collection), and sports a stunning 6.5L V12 engine that produces 730 hp and has an extraordinary top speed of 217 mph.

Bentley Mulsanne
When 50 Cent needs to ride in style, rather than opting for speed, he's chosen a Bentley Mulsanne. Like David Beckham and others, Bentley's luxuriousness appeals to 50 Cent. Built in 2010 and produced for 10 years, each individual Mulsanne was hand-built by Bentley in the UK, including 50's $500,000 model.

Bentley Mulsanne (Cont'd)
Did you know that each Mulsanne undergoes 400 hours of production time? And, more than a quarter of that time is devoted to interior trim? Each car truly is a work of art, powered by a 6.75 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, and is available in a standard length, as well as an extended wheelbase option, which is 229 inches long.

The Jet Car
One special car in 50's collection is his custom-made Jet Car. Designed by Jackson as part of SyFy's series Dream Machines (2012), the Jet Car was built by Parker Brothers Concepts in Florida. Driven by an electric powertrain, the car produces somewhere around a 400-hp equivalent.

The Jet Car (Cont'd)
Unfortunately, there's very little information about 50 Cent's Jet Car. It could purportedly reach a stunning top speed of around 250 mph and reportedly cost the rapper $1.55 million.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead
Next up in 50 Cent's luxury list is the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead. While Jackson may enjoy different smash hits than Roger Federer, both he and the tennis star love to drive in style. The Phantom Drophead's luxury begins up front, with a huge front seating area, with white seats and cherry seatbelts. 50 has probably also gone for custom stitching that's available with the RR. A wood veneer inside and an 8.8-inch infotainment system in the rear completes the luxurious ride.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead (Cont'd)
Under the hood, the Phantom Drophead produces 454 hp thanks to its 6.75L V12 engine. A six- or eight-speed automatic transmission is available, and Rolls-Royce offers maximum customization: with 44,000 different color combinations available. Jackson chose an orange-on-black color scheme for his.

Ferrari Enzo
Named after the founder of Ferrari, 50's Ferrari Enzo is in the traditional all-red and is one of only 375 ever produced. Unfortunately, Jackson is banned from owning future Ferraris as he posted disparagingly on social media about his Ferrari 488, which died suddenly and had to be towed to a garage. Nevertheless, he retains ownership of this Ferrari Enzo, another speed demon in his collection of speed demons.

Ferrari Enzo (Cont'd)
Produced between 2002 and 2004, the Ferrari Enzo borrowed a great deal of its technology from its Formula One division, incorporating it into the car. Its 6.0L V12 engine produces 651 hp and can reach 60 MPH in 3.4 seconds. The Enzo's top speed is 217 mph, but its overall look was lambasted by Bloomberg Businessweek as one of the "Fifty ugliest cars of the last fifty years".

1994 Toyota Land Cruiser
When 50 Cent needs to get practical, he's got a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser. Or rather, he had one. It was his first car when he was 18 and cost about $40,000. The 1994 Cruiser was 50's faithful servant, until he realized that a rival gang member had one in the same color and was worried he might be mistakenly targeted, so he sold it.

1994 Toyota Land Cruiser (Cont'd)
Known as the "J80", 50's 1994 Cruiser had four-wheel drive, a dark emerald pearl paintjob, a bike rack, bull bars and tinted windows. While far from the "stock" Land Cruiser, he didn't touch anything under the hood, where a 4.5L straight-six purred away, providing 212 hp. It's unfortunate that 50 didn't get to use his Land Cruiser for very long, as it was once a very capable SUV.

Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster
Another speedster in his garage is the Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster. Purchased 20 years ago to celebrate a second chart-topping album, the Murcielago Roadster features in his song "Position of Power": "I come through your hood, stunting in my yellow Lam' Murcielago". Of course 50 would go for a yellow Lamborghini, the most ostentatious of colors.

Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster (Cont'd)
The predecessor to 50's previously-mentioned Aventador, the Murcielago's Roadster version was produced between 2004 and 2006, employing a manually-attached soft-top roof that wouldn't stand a chance at 100 mph. Which isn't anywhere close to the Murcielago Roadster's top speed of 207 mph. The Roadster could reach 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and drew inspiration in its design from the US Air Force's B2 stealth bomber.

Maserati MC12
50 Cent will feel right at-home in this Maserati MC-12. Maserati built just 50 of these cars to comply with homologation rules for Formula One racing in 2005. Regrettably, the MC-12 hypercar isn't owned by Jackson—instead, the rapper borrowed it from Maserati to shoot the video for "Window Shopper", which is shot in Monte Carlo.

Maserati MC12 (Cont'd)
A Ferrari subsidiary since 1999, Maserati's MC-12 borrows plenty of things from 50 Cent's previously-mentioned Ferrari Enzo. It's different enough from the Enzo, though—longer, wider, taller, and with a sharper nose, although the Enzo outperformed the Maserati. Powered by a Ferrari V12 engine that produced 612 hp, Jackson's loaner was a "Fuji White" MC12 with blue accents.

1965 Chevrolet Impala
If the previous list is anything to go by, this next car may surprise you. 50 Cent's 1965 Chevrolet Impala is an all-American classic. Built for him by DJ Funkmaster Flex, 50's '65 Impala features a black and red interior with a "peanut butter" colored hood. 50 ended up gifting the car to Val Kilmer, after the pair starred together in Streets Of Blood (2009).

1965 Chevrolet Impala (Cont'd)
The 1965 Chevrolet Impala was an immediate hit when it came on the market. The fourth-generation Impala had been completely redesigned for the model year: new hood contours, frameless side glass, a 4.6L "Turbo Fire" V8 engine, producing 400 horsepower. In 1965, it set an all-time industry sales record by breaking 1 million sales. No American car had ever done that before.

Ferrari FF
From American classics to Italian speed. A see-saw might be the best adjective to describe 50 Cent's car collection. The Ferrari FF is another car that Jackson acquired before his Ferrari ban, and this three-door grand-tourer was Ferrari's first production four-wheel drive vehicle. In unusual fashion, 50's Ferrari FF is creme-colored, known as "Grigio Abu Dhabi" by Ferrari.

Ferrari FF (Cont'd)
The "FF" in the name stands for "Ferrari Four", representing the four-wheel drive nature of the car. But what's unusual about this 2011 Ferrari is the body style. It's called "three-door shooting brake" and has its beginnings in the 1890s horse-drawn carriages. Combining elements of both the station wagon and coupe, the shooting brake style can be seen today in the Porsche Panamera and Dodge Magnum.

Suzuki Kizashi Sport
This is 50 Cent's "hideaway car"—the one he drives when he doesn't want to be swarmed by paparazzi, which is just as well because he couldn't outrun them in this thing anyway. Producing just 174 hp from a 2.4L VVT engine, stealth is the objective word here.

Suzuki Kizashi Sport (Cont'd)
Car reviewers wrote favorably of the Kizashi and it even won several awards, including Best Buy by Consumer's Digest in 2011 and two vehicle satisfaction awards in the US in 2011. Because of his ownership of the Suzuki, 50 Cent partnered with the brand in a Super Bowl commercial.
Mercedes G500
From the conspicuous to the inconspicuous. The Mercedes G500 couldn't be farther from the small Suzuki. Part of the Mercedes G-Wagon lineup, the G500 is Jackson's answer to any off-road craving he may have. Featuring 22-inch wheels and a ground clearance of 17 inches, 50 rides high in the G500. Packed with power thanks to a 4.0L V8 engine, the G500 is an off-road beast for ages.

Mercedes G500 (Cont'd)
With an impressive 416 hp roaring from its engine, the G500 can reach 60 mph in 7.4 seconds and can even wade through water that's 39 inches deep. Not that you'd ever want to find out what that's like, but it does add an extra element of fun to this SUV from Mercedes.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Another gorgeous Rolls-Royce in 50 Cent's collection is the Cullinan. Named after the Cullinan Diamond, 50's Cullinan has all of the opulence you'd expect from Rolls-Royce, painted in a gorgeous matte orange with all of the trappings: heated, ventilated massage seats, a viewing suite inside the trunk, and two 12-inch infotainment screens.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan (Cont'd)
With a price tag of $325,000, the Cullinan isn't cheap, but that hasn't stopped thousands of Rolls-Royce customers (including 50 Cent) as it's the second best-selling Rolls-Royce ever. The rear doors of the four-door car are a set of coach doors. It features a twin-turbocharged 6.75L V12 engine that produces 563 hp and an incredible top speed of 155 mph.

Lamborghini Urus
When Jackson doesn't want to take his Cullinan SUV, he's also got a Lamborghini Urus, if he wants something a little flashier. The Urus cost just over $200,000 and is one of the world's fastest SUVs. 50's bright red Urus certainly draws attention, as one might expect from an SUV made by a supercar manufacturer.
50 Cent Car Collection | Celeb Car Collection, Celebrity Cars Collection
Lamborghini Urus (Cont'd)
As mentioned, the Urus is one of the world's fastest SUVs. Powered a 4.8L V8 engine, it produces 641 hp and has a staggering top speed of 194 mph, making it the world's second-fastest SUV. The name was chosen by Lamborghini to refer the "urus", an ancestor modern domestic cattle.

Ferrari F430
This classic supercar by Ferrari is almost a must-have for celebrities, it appears in their garages so frequently. And 50 Cent is no exception. Produced between 2004 and 2009, the F430 is one of the brand's most successful supercars. Powered by a 4.3L V8 engine that produces 483 hp and a staggering top speed of 196 mph, 50 definitely uses this Ferrari as a means of getting A to B tout-suite.

Ferrari F430 (Cont'd)
Another Ferrari owned by 50 Cent prior to his ban from ownership for social media criticism of Ferrari, the F430 was involved in a massive recall of 2,000 cars across the United States in 2009 because of an engine overheating issue that could have caused a fire.

Chevrolet Suburban
Did you know that Curtis Jackson nearly lost his life at a young age? The victim of violent crime, Jackson lived to tell the tale and ever since then has sometimes travelled in a bulletproof Chevrolet Suburban. It comes with a 5.3L V8 engine that produces 355 hp and can achieve a top speed of 120 mph. Should a quick getaway be necessary for 50 Cent, the Suburban can reach 60 mph in just 7 seconds.

Chevrolet Suburban (Cont'd)
A far cry from the standard Chevy Suburban, 50 Cent's custom Chevs were built for the Iraq War and not only feature bulletproof glass, but also an explosive-proof undercarriage. Customizing each one of the two that he owns cost roughly $200,000.
