While Forbes estimated the rapper's fortune to be around $155 million in May, Jackson's lawyer stated in court Tuesday that his client's worth is actually around $4.4 million - which presents a problem after he was hit last week with a $5 million verdict for publishing a sex tape starring his rival Rick Ross' ex-girlfriend.
Jackson explained in court that while his social media accounts may be filled with flashy photos, "I take the jewelry and the cars back to the stores," according to the New York Daily News.

Jackson also said he made just $100,000 for the two movies he's currently in, "Spy" and "Southpaw." For his current role on Starz's hit series "Power," which he also executive produces, Jackson said he's only pocketed about $150,000 from each of its first two seasons.

Jackson did manage to say a minor apology to Lastonia Leviston, who was awarded $5 million after he allegedly published a sex tape on which she is featured without her consent: "I'm sorry if you feel like I hurt you."

"I need protection," 50 Cent explained while appearing on TBS' "Conan." "You get a bull's-eye painted on your back when you're successful, and it's public. You become the ideal person for lawsuits."
