Celebrities have security teams and bodyguards for lots of reasons. Some need safety from fans, others from stalkers, and some from other celebrities. Plus, everyone knows that walking around with a team of bodyguards makes you look pretty important. It definitely makes you look rich! While some celebs have bodyguards just for certain events, others are flanked at all times. Let’s take a look at the specially secured celebrities that are always with a bodyguard.

Look, rapper 50 Cent-or Curtis James Jackson III-has been shot nine times. If you had been shot nine times, wouldn't you hire security to follow you at all times? We sure would. The star was attacked in 2000, allegedly by a man that had worked as Mike Tyson's bodyguard. During the shooting, the star's son and grandmother were present.
