I don't really think 50 cent is a talented rapper, but he sure is talented at making money.
No, but conning people into thinking you are talented so they'll give you money is.

I think it can be. There are a lot of rich, famous people who have average or little talent.

I confess, I do not have that talent.

I think you can definitely be talented at making money. It really is just a well developed skill of self-marketing and self-promotion.
Non-celebrities do it all the time, too; you just have to be creative enough and have powers of persuasion and spin.

Then so is good old fashion working your rear end off.
