50 Cent Still Trying to Unload Connecticut Mansion to Pay Off Debt
"Get Rich or Die Tryin" rapper 50 Cent is set to again place his 50,000-square-foot Connecticut mansion on the market in an effort to raise capital.
The Daily Mail reports the rapper's bankruptcy attorney Pat Neligan recently told the court that his client will do all he can to unload the 17 acre estate, even if it means again, lowering his asking price. Initially, 50 Cent listed the property for $18.5 million but since then has lowered his price on several different occasions.
Reports are the home boasts 21 bedrooms, 37 bathrooms and a staggering $72,000 monthly maintenance bill. 50 Cent purchased the property, which also comes with a gym, racquetball courts and a dancing room, in 2003 from former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson for $4.1 million.
Since making the purchase, sources reveal the "In Da Club" rapper has invested at least an additional $6 million for renovations, including installing a helicopter pad, infinity pool and private cinema.
Neligan told the court the rapper also plans to place another condo he owns on the market, perhaps by his next scheduled hearing on Sept. 18.
Born Curtis Jackson, 50 cent won a Grammy in 2010 and was once one of the world's bestselling hip hop artists largely on the strength of his "Get Rich or Die Tryin" album. In all, he has sold more than 30 million albums.
50 cent filed for bankruptcy earlier this summer after a New York City jury ordered him to pay $7 million to the mother of one of rival rapper Rick Ross's young children. The jury found 50 guilty of posing the private sex tape of Lastonia Leviston on his website without her permission as way of antagonizing Ross.
In the tape, 50 superimposed the image of his "Pimpin Curly" alter ego to replace the face of Leviston's boyfriend, whom she recorded the tape with and was truly being intimate with.
