Rapper 50 Cent, known for his charisma and business acumen, made a significant financial leap by endorsing Vitaminwater. Initially compensated with an endorsement deal that included equity, he smartly increased his stake in the company by purchasing stock options from employees. As Vitaminwater sales skyrocketed and attracted Coca-Cola's attention, 50 Cent's investment savvy led him to an impressive $100 million fortune when Coca-Cola acquired the drink in 2007.
