Rapper 50 Cent is looking out for folks who would like to own a computer but just can’t afford it.
The artist and his manager Chris Lighty of Violator management are currently in negotiations with Apple CEO Steve Jobs to create a line of affordable home computers that would be marketed toward inner-city residents.
Ranked among the top 10 richest entertainers on Forbes magazine’s latest Celebrity Power 100 List, 50 says his money offers the freedom to enrich the lives of those less fortunate.
"I'm creating a foundation that will be around for a long time, because fame can come and go or get lost in the lifestyle and the splurging," 50 said in Forbes. "I never got into it for the music. I got into it for the business."
Meanwhile, according to Forbes magazine, Fifty earned $41 million between June of 2005 and June 2006, which put him in the No. 8 position on their annual Celebrity 100 Power List.
50 left in the dust names like stars like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton and the cast of HBO's The Sopranos.
Besides massive record sales and concert gates, the rapper generated income from the sales of his G-Unit clothing line and ringtones.
