Going Once…?

After 722 days on the market, 50 Cent has taken his Farmington, Connecticut mansion out of the running for a new resident. The Hartford Courant reported that the 50,000-square-foot home’s asking price of $14.5 million was too much to attract potential buyers.

Real Estate agents in the surrounding area state that the mansion is “not worth 1 dollar over 5 million.”

The estate’s removal from the market is the latest development to occur since 50 Cent bought the residence in 2003 for $4.1 million . Soon after acquiring Mike Tyson’s former 17-acre home, Curtis spent an estimated $10 million on various renovations such as a 40-person hot tub inside a grotto. Before dropping the price to $14.5 million late last year, the mansion was initially put on the market for $18.5 million.

In addition to the hot tub, the mansion included 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms, as well as a gym and a disco with a ‘dancing’ room, complete with stripper poles.
