Fans were amazed by 50 Cent’s mansion, which covers an area of up to 50,000 square feet with more than 50 luxury rooms!

Learn the amazing story of 50 Cent’s extravagant house, where success at first appeared to be attributed to numerology. Given that his name echoed the number fifty, that the mansion’s location coincided with the number fifty, and that its astounding 50,000 square feet included over fifty rooms, it seemed that fate was on his side.

But events had an unexpected turn in fate. Rapper, actor, and TV producer 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, recently sold his lavish Connecticut estate, a representation of both success and failure, albeit at a steep loss, capping more than ten years of highs and lows. The Wall Street Journal said that the final selling price of $2.9M was an astounding 84% decrease from his original asking price.

This monumental property, located in Farmington, Connecticut, had been a source of determination for 50 Cent, especially during his widely publicized Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing years ago. He had acquired the house in 2003 from the former wife of boxing legend Mike Tyson for a then-town-record price of $4.1M, right after the success of his album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.” Notably, the deal did not include Tyson’s Bengal tiger, but it did come with its own share of real estate drama.

Unfortunately, despite its impressive features and initial purchase price, the mansion’s value failed to appreciate over the years. In 2007, it was listed for a staggering $18.5M, only to see its price plummet to just under $5M by 2018, even with the high-profile representation of celebrity agent Fredrik Eklund from Million Dollar Listing New York. At one point, it even made its debut on the rental market, commanding a staggering $100,000 per month.
