Vitamin Water Acquired for $4.1BB Dollars. 50 Cent gets $400mm.

This story seems to have been overlooked - Vitamin Water was acquired for $4.1 billion dollars today by Coca Cola. That’s a big number. It’s also a big number for some of the key Vitamin Water spokespersons who took company ownership rather than cash.
50 Cent received 10% of the company for his ads - thats a whopping $400,000,000 earn out. Amazing.
David Wright of the New York Mets apparently received 0.50% of the company - thats a pretty return as well.
No word yet on what David Ortiz or Brian Urlacher got for playing badminton.
Smile dude. You just made $410mm!
