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!
Discover the fascinating tale behind 50 Cent’s larger-than-life mansion, where numerology initially seemed to hold the key to success. With his moniker echoing the number 50, the address aligning perfectly at 50 Poplar Hill Drive, and the mansion boasting an astonishing 50,000 square feet with over 50 rooms, it appeared as though destiny was on his side.
However, destiny took an unexpected turn. After more than a decade of ups and downs, rapper, actor, and TV producer 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, recently managed to sell his opulent Connecticut mansion – a symbol of both success and setbacks – but at a significant loss. The final selling price of $2.9M marked an astonishing 84% drop from his initial asking price, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal.
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.
