50 Cent has spent millions in legal fees.

On a new episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Fif revealed that his attorneys have been paid handsomely over the years.

“I’ll do it for recreational purposes,” he explained to Gillie Da Kid and Wallo at around the 27:10 minute mark, “when they agitate me, I’ll send the fuckin’ lawyers.”

When asked by Wallo how much he’s paid in legal fees, 50 said, “$24 million in my career so far. I can't wait till I get rich. Just on lawyers.” He then repeated himself, "I've spent $24 million in my career on legal fees.”

All that being said, 50 Cent is quite wealthy. Last month, in an interview with Us Weekly, the media mogul was asked if he was now a billionaire, a descriptor he shied away from. Instead, he said the way he chooses to "quantify the level of successes and wins" is detached from such labels.

"I’m not in a hurry to reach billionaire status," he told the publication. "I’ve reached a point where I don’t want anything I don’t have. What’s the rush? I’ve bought every car I wanted, multiple times over." He said that he would rather be described as, simply, "very rich” rather than a billionaire.
