      It was about that time I noticed that sweet little pop rapper was a right story tall crustacean from the plethazoic era. I said get it out here!

      Well if you ask a coin collector a coins rarity effects it’s value greatly. Being 50 Cent is the only half dollar stamped with 1975, that explains why he is now worth so much.

        Well, yeah, but then you are talking about the non-fungability tied to his distinct features, not his transactional value.

    Was he fifty at birth?

    His first album was 2003; ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’. If 50 cents was his valuation then, that would mean Curtis Jackson’s valuation was 22¢ at birth in 1975. Assuming he follows a somewhat arbitrary inflation rate of 3%. (This is also assuming he is not an asset of higher expected return like property, stocks, or bonds.) Putting him at a less attractive 99¢ today.

    If he is the the currency himself, rather than being valuated at 50¢, then he would have devalued. This would put his value at around 27¢ today and $1.68 at birth.
