Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent, is a sucker for automobiles.
The award-winning rapper and musician, who has also made a nаme for himself as a screenwriter and producer, owns a collection of amazing automobiles.
From a Maserati MC12 to a Lamborghini Murcielago and a Ferrari FF, 50 isn’t afraid to splash out on rides – but which of his vehicles is the rarest and most valuable?
That honor goes to the White Lightening Jet Car, which is the only one in the world and cost him seven figures.
The White Lightening Jet Car is inspired by Formula One race cars as well as space spacecraft such as the Lunar Module.
Parker Brothers Concepts, a business that specializes in unusual prototypes and movie automobiles, created the vehicle.
In trutҺ, the Parker Brothers collaborated with NASA to develop Mars Rover prototypes.
They also contributed to the creation of the Erebos X (seen below), an 835-horsepower supercar inspired by the Mercedes-AMG GT.
From the chassis to the interior, the one-off jet car that 50 Cent commissioned was built entirely from scratch.
In fact, the Parker Brothers were so proud of their creation that they tried to keep the details top sеcrеt.
All we know is the concept is powered by an electric powertrain, and it should be capable of delivering around 400 horsepower.
Unfortunately, performance figures were never revealed.
Rumоr has it, that the White Lightning Jet Car can reach 402 km/h (250 mph), but perhaps that sounds a bit far-fetched.
Obviously, as there’s only one in the world, no expense was spared and the rapper reportedly spent $1.55 million to have it built.
However, it turned out to be a bad investment, as in the end 50 Cent sold it for less than one-tenth of its value.
Where is 50 Cent now?
50 Cent hasn’t released an album in nearly 10 years and it looks like that’s not going to change anytime soon.
As confirmed in many interviews he’s given, the multi-faceted artist is now focusing on this TV and movie career as an actor and producer.
In 2014, he co-created and produced the crime drаmа series Power on Starz, in which he also starred in a recurring role.
50 Cent also stars in Expend4bles alongside Andy Garcia, Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, and Megan Fox.
