When I first read this, my head saw "Fifty Cent"...

And I thought "A _rapper_ has just bought $1.7billion worth of Tesla shares???" and was all ready to make "Has Tesla already become the Cristal Champagne of car brands?" gags...

Still, half a billion return in two weeks on a 1.7 billion play is pretty nice money...

Fifty Cent got a minority stake in Glaceau instead of a payment for endorsing their Vitamin Water. When Glaceau sold to Coca-Cola, that equity was worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million.
Pretty sure 50 is bankrupt now.
