Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent recently confessed in Manhattan Supreme court that his flashy lifestyle is all fake.

The 40-year-old rapper admitted that everything from the Lamborghinis, Bentleys and Rolls Royces were rented, and the rings, the chains were borrowed from the jeweler, the New York Post reported.

He added that in reality, he owned just three gold chains, which his jeweller refashions into a new piece every now and then.

Previously, the civil court jury had ordered the 'You Know' star to pay 5 million dollar in damages to rival rapper Rick Ross' baby's mama, Lastonia Leviston, for posting her private sex tape onto his website.

Now, Jackson is claiming that he's worth no more than 4.4 million dollars, saying that he made only 10 cents for each of the 38 million albums sold, a total of 3.8 million dollars.

Unfortunately his shrinking finances have affected his image, said the rapper.

However, Forbes pegs his net worth at closer to 155 million dollars.
