50 Cent's Unconventional Path to Wealth and Power in the Entertainment Industry

TL;DR Summary
Rapper and businessman 50 Cent has revealed how he used one of the "unwritten laws of power" to break into Hollywood. By appearing not to need anything, he was able to gain the attention of movie producer Avi Lerner, who was open to talking to him about the business of showbusiness. This led to Jackson making films through his production company Cheetah Vision, which had amassed $200 million in financing from people he met while traveling. The films had relatively low budgets, but allowed Jackson to gain experience as a producer while also making money.
