50 Cent’s expenses are £69K a month – but he’s broke, right?

50 Cent may claim he’s penniless, but he still spends £2.5K a month on grooming and new clothes.

The rapper’s expenses are around £69,000 a month, of which £642 is spent on his appearance. £1,926 goes on his wardrobe, £5,780 on security, and the best one of all, £3,211 on gardening.

The bulk of his costs are the £46,240 a month, which he pays for his 50-room mansion, including bills, mortgage, insurance and property tax.

The bankrupt actor – whose real name is Curtis Jackson – also pays £9.3k a month in support for his sons Marquise, 17, and two-year-old Sire, and his grandfather.

He denied in court that he owns a multitude of luxury vehicles and lives a lavish lifestyle, although the filings also state he does own seven cars, including a Rolls Royce and three Chevy Suburbans.

At least he’s (kind of) honest about it the reason he filed for bankruptcy, explaining: “You get a bullseye painted on your back when you’re successful, and it’s public, you become the ideal person for lawsuits.”

Basically anything he can do to keep his toys.
