Current Rank: 20
Previous Rank: 22
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson continues his legacy as a multi- faceted mogul. The Jackson-of-all trades recently added both documentary producer and television producer to his ever- expanding resume. Motivated by his love for boxing, he part- nered with Lou DiBella to acquire rights to the documentary Tapia, based on the life of late boxing champ Johnny Tapia. The film—presented by Curtis’s Cheetah Vision Films and DiBella’s BK Blu Productions—debuted at this year’s LA Film Festival. Fiddy is also executively producing a drama series for the small screen based on the life of a fictitious NYC club owner. The show, Power, has been picked up by Starz for its 2014 programming schedule. In addition to his endeavors in the entertainment space, Curtis’ successes with SK Energy, Gunnar Optiks eyewear, and Sleek by 50 headphones have contributed to his re-election to this year’s Power 30 list. — Alana Johnson
