Rapper Curtis Jackson, aka "50 Cent," claims that his assets are worth about $25 million, but that two separate court-ordered payments plus other high expenses have pushed him into bankruptcy.

He filed a statement of his financials in Connecticut bankruptcy court on Monday, and Business Insider has obtained a copy of it.

Here's how Jackson says he's drained his millions in just a few years' time.

The money going out: $108,000 per month in expenses and millions of dollars in lawsuits

Apparently, 50 Cent was primarily forced into filing for bankruptcy after two court judgments put him over the top. There's the $7 million owed to Lastonia Leviston, the woman had won the payment in court after the rapper allegedly released a sex tape of her to embarrass the rapper's nemesis, Rick Ross, who had fathered one of her children.

And then, there's the electronics company Sleek Audio, which he owes an $18 million court-ordered payment after a partnership to produce headphones fell apart.

Those court orders total about $25 million, the amount 50 Cent claims in assets.

But, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The rapper claims another $7 million in liabilities.

50 Cent says he has about $108,000 in monthly expenses, which include his homes and personal expenses.

His lavish Connecticut house — the one with 21 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and a nightclub— costs about $72,000 a month to maintain, he says. He spends about $5,000 per month on just the gardening.

He also pays a monthly $5,745 Bentley car lease and $12,000 in child support for two children. Additionally, he supports a grandparent in the amount of $2,500 a month.

50 Cent keeps himself looking good with about $3,000 a month on clothes and $1,000 a month on grooming.

See his personal expenses below:

What money is coming in? He has about $10 million in cash and investments

As far as his income, 50 Cent claimed he made $3.3 million from his music so far this year. He also made about $372,000 from SMS, his company that makes headphones, in 2015. Additionally, he has made $771,000 from numerous films, touring, merchandising, and other pursuits with G-Unit, 50 Cent's record label.

The rapper has $10 million in cash and $500,000 in cars, including three Chevy Suburbans and a 2010 Rolls Royce.

There is no mention of the income he made from film and TV work. Previously, 50 Cent stated that he made $100,000 each on "Southpaw" and "Spy," according to the court transcript acquired by Business Insider. As for Starz drama "Power," which the rapper acts in and executive produces, 50 Cent testified that he has made $150,000.

Here's a look at his income, from the filing:

He needs to sell that house ASAP, all those expenses can not be worth it especially when you're never there.


Wait how does he still have a mortgage :what:

50 Cent's comments on 'Conan' are coming back to haunt him in court

    Team Coco50 Cent on "Conan" on July 15.

On July 15, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson went on TBS’ “Conan” to promote his new film, “Southpaw.” During the appearance, the rapper/actor also addressed his filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection just two days prior.

He explained to host Conan O’Brien: “Yeah, I need protection. You get a bull’s-eye painted on your back when you’re successful, and it’s public. You become the ideal person for lawsuits.”

Jackson filed for bankruptcy days after he was ordered to pay $5 million to rival rapper Rick Ross' ex-girlfriend, Lastonia Leviston, who sued him forposting a sex tape online to millions of viewers in an alleged attempt to embarrass Ross.

While testifying on July 21 in a Manhattan Supreme Court, Leviston’s attorney took the comments Jackson made on "Conan" and ran with them.

Using Jackson’s comments on “Conan” as ammunition, Leviston’s attorney tried to make the point that the only reason Jackson filed for bankruptcy was to shield himself from the lawsuit. (A clip of 50 Cent’s comments originally available on the show’s website hassince been taken down.)

Check out the back-and-forth questioning, according to a court transcript of the proceedings obtained by Business Insider:

Lawyer: Let's talk about things you've said since this bankruptcy. You went on Conan O'Brien, did you not?

Jackson: Yes.

Lawyer: You said that you made a joke out of the fact that you need protection regarding bankruptcy?

Jackson: Yeah. You got to smile when you are in public situations. If you're crying, they will just have more fun with you.

Lawyer: Did you also say that you considered yourself a target?

Jackson: I do.

Lawyer: Were you talking about this case?


Jackson: Well, just in general because overall if you know attorneys make a living off this.
Jackson then addressed Leviston in court and said, “I’m sorry if you feel I hurt you in any way,” in regards to posting the sex tape, which he said was given to him by Leviston's fiancé.

Leviston’s attorney then went back on the offensive.

From the court transcript:

Lawyer: Mr. Jackson, you went on the Conan O'Brien show after the verdict came in and after you filed for bankruptcy —

Jackson: Right.

Lawyer: — protection and you said I'm the target not her. I'm the target, right?

Jackson: Right. When you look —


Lawyer: Did you say that?


Jackson: Yes.


Lawyer: Did you say that filing bankruptcy is about asset protection?


Jackson: Yes, I believe I said that.


Lawyer: Did you also say — it may not have just been on that show — that reorganization or this filing does stop things moving forward that you don't want moving forward?

Jackson: Yes.

Lawyer: Were those your words?

Jackson: Yes.

Lawyer: That's what you filed this bankruptcy petition for reorganization, wasn't it, to stop something from moving forward that you didn't want moving forward?

Jackson: Yes.

Lawyer: And you also said, did you not, that "I'm not going to give people what I work for. They are going to have to work for it too." People that you owe money to?

Jackson: No, I was saying I'm not going to give money to people. They have to work hard like I worked hard to get what I have.

Lawyer: Did you say, "I'm not going to give people what I work for, they are going to have to work for it too," in the context of talking about this bankruptcy?

Jackson: No, just in general they are going to have to work for it like I worked hard for it.

Lawyer: When did you say that, was this last week?

Jackson: Yes. That was on the talk show. You're talking to a comedian. You're taking a lot of things out of context. It's like taking a joke wrong to the media.

Three days later, Jackson was ordered to pay Leviston $2 million in punitive damages on top of the $5 million he was originally ordered to pay.

BI reached out to 50 Cent's rep for comment, but did not receive a reply. We will update this story accordingly.

45k for mortgage, insurance, and utilities?

Insurance most include personal property inside the house.

Its nice how they can't come after his personal fortune, its locked securely away.

What made him buy a house in Connecticut though?

I know it's a nice house, but it's in Connecticut :heh:

Rich people who work in NYC stay in Connecticut. Greenwich, CT is one of the wealthiest cities in America. 50 Cent like a giant dufus brought a freakin castle of a house in Hartford, Connecticut. Which is 3 hours from NYC. It's a shythole town that most rich people would not want to live in, for one. For two, it's way too far to commute to Manhattan. That's why he can't sell it. Greenwich, CT on the other hand is 45 min-1 hour from NYC.
