50 Cent spends $20,000 a week on security to protect himself.
The
'Candy Shop’ rapper – who was shot at nine times during an incident in
2000 and has openly admitted to dealing drugs in the past – takes
extreme measures both to protect himself and his property and also to
ensure he doesn’t get sued.
The 33-year-old star explained: 'I spend $20,000 a week on security. My home is surrounded by cameras.
'I
need surveillance not only to look out for me but also to protect me.
You get all these crazy lawsuits and I need cameras to check on
things.'
50 is not the only star concerned about his security.
David and Victoria Beckham have splashed the cash to turn their UK home into an impregnable fortress.
Their
£2.5 million mansion in Hertfordshire, England, is now protected by
CCTV surveillance, guard dogs, a high wall topped with razor wire and
24-hour security patrols by former SAS members.
One employee
previously said: "Even if you're only going there for a few hours, you
still have to sign in and out of every room. The cameras watch you from
the minute you go in - it's like a military base."
