50 Cent received 700 Bitcoin (worth $455,000) for his 2014 album “Animal Ambition” and promptly forgot about it.
With Bitcoin now trading at over $107,000 per coin, his forgotten stash is worth approximately $76 million, nearly double his current $40 million net worth.
Fans who bought the album with Bitcoin at $62.8 per coin essentially paid $17,452 in today’s money.
Meanwhile, one editor accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 1400 Bitcoin worth millions today.
