After several months of cleaning, the two enlisted their parents' help to get it down to the studs. Now, the couple is working with an engineer to get a new roof on before winter starts this year and has shifted to clearing out the house's grounds. While cleaning out the home, they found some of the original furniture, old photos of what the house looked like before, and a record player that was hooked up to speakers all over the house. The couple closed in January 2024 and started the clearing-out process immediately. The first step was to put tarps all over the roof to ensure no more water or moisture entered the house.

The home even appeared on Million Dollar Listing in an effort to drum up some interest. Sitting on 17.6 acres, the grounds of the mansion include a pool, grotto, pond, basketball court, guesthouses and gardens. The home is located in Jennifer Leahy of Douglas Elliman brokered the sale of the mansion.

A pool with a stone archway and foliage has likely hosted more than a few extravagant pool parties.

The walk-in closets are glass-fronted, keeping up with the opulent style of the home. While there are 25 bathrooms, most of them are decorated with huge bathtubs, walk-in glass showers, and huge brightly lit mirrors with marble flooring — all with enormous windows overlooking the gardens just like most of the bedrooms. Gillian Keegan is to axe the 50 per cent cap on faith schools, ending a policy that forces institutions to keep half their places open for children of different religions. Tucked just south of the 10 Freeway, City Terrace is a small, hilly community with winding streets and a healthy supply of Spanish Colonial Revival-style homes. Empty lots sell for between $100,000 and $200,000, while the few houses on the market are priced between $500,000 and $800,000. The grounds feature a "coy-filled pond" [sic] with a pond house and the pool "comes with a grotto," according to the listing.

Rapper 50 Cent bought former boxer Mike Tyson's 50,000-square-foot home in Farmington, Connecticut for €3.3m ($4.4 million), according to The Sun. When Tyson went bankrupt in 2003, he had to sell a handful of his assets. His Connecticut home was the first thing to go, and 50 Cent swooped in and bought it. Although the 21 bedroom home has an enormous amount of activities to offer with two pools, multiple game rooms, two basketball courts, a nightclub, and more, it was expensive to maintain.

Outdoors, the 17-acre grounds also offer guesthouses, mountain views, waterfalls, bridges, and landscaped gardens. According to reports, 50 Cent invested at least $6 million renovating the 25-bedroom, 19-bathroom mansion. Keep in mind, he's single—though he does have scores of famous friends. Over the years, various listings have hyped the master bedroom loft, home theater, "G-Unit" conference room, two pools, two basketball courts, and the disco ("Club TKO") where the rapper partied "In Da Club". Rapper 50 Cent struggled for over a decade to offload his massive compound in Farmington, Connecticut.

One of the most significant issues the couple encountered immediately was that the roof needed to be replaced. Other issues included completely overgrown landscaping, mold throughout, and high levels of moisture from all the water that had come into the house over the years. “Helping more faith schools to join academy trusts is one of the final pieces of the jigsaw to complete our revolutionary reforms that have driven so much improvement in our classrooms since 2010. A government source said that a plan to “give every child a world-class education is working, with school standards higher than ever before”, adding that 90 per cent of schools are currently ranked as good or outstanding by Ofsted. The California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt campus will remain closed through the weekend as protesters, including "unidentified non-students," continue to occupy two buildings, school officials said in an update.

The home is surrounded by a profusion of trees behind a metal gate with a lion statue that leads to the driveway and entrance of the house, according to Business Insider. There are trails perfect for taking walks or bike riding around the estate. Far off to the side, there's a huge basketball court that has 50 Cent's team name printed on it. Next to that, a pond sits in the middle of the area with a water spout feature. Sitting along the pond is a guest house overlooking the water away from the main house.

The floors appear to be made from marble.

The post drew immediate reaction from conservatives on social media who agreed with the rapper. In a follow-up post that screenshots an article with a headline saying, "50 Cent flames Biden," the rapper wrote, "We got some real s--- going on out here Joe. What’s the plan to get a tan and chill come on now." First listed in January 2017 for $250 million, the famous "Billionaire" mansion has lowered its price by an additional $38 million, bringing the total price cut to $100 million.

The home sold for $2.9 million in a sale brokered by Jennifer Leahy of Douglas Elliman. The Power actor (who now lives in Manhattan's midtown west) is planning to donate the proceeds of the sale to his nonprofit organization, the G-Unit Foundation Inc. Accepting an offer of $2.9 million means he took an 84 percent cut from the $18.7 million he originally wanted.

Moreover, Sire Spirits has raised an additional legal question concerning whether Green could exempt personal property purchased or enhanced through his fraudulent activities. The dispute centers on the applicability of Connecticut’s homestead exemption, which typically allows a $250,000 protection, reduced to $75,000 in cases tied to acts of willful misconduct. The argument is over whether Green should be allowed to claim exemptions to safeguard his assets despite his admitted financial misconduct against the liquor business. Green’s admission of guilt to wire fraud charges and an arbitrator’s previous ruling against him regarding the embezzlement has only solidified Sire Spirits’ stance in pursuing strict penalties, including asset recovery. 50 Cent is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Mitchell Green over the potential seizure of Green’s house. The dispute stems from a $2 million embezzlement scheme from 50 Cent’s company, Sire Spirits.

50 bought the house back in 2003, snagging it from none other than boxer Mike Tyson for $4.1 million. At that price, it set a local record for home sales in the area, but in 2007 when he put it back on the market he asked for $18.5 million. Since then, the price has been reduced several times (and at one point, there were plans to turn it into a retirement home), before finally finding the $2.9 million price that took. While the musician, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, was attracted to the mansion for its over-the-top amenities, clearly buyers were not. After purchasing the property from former boxer Mike Tyson for $4.1 million—a deal that still holds the record for the most expensive home ever sold in Farmington—Jackson first attempted to list the mansion in 2007. The price was slashed several times over the next decade, and the property also listed for rent at $100,000 a month.

The 50,000-square-foot mansion was originally listed at $18.5 million in 2015, but it has seen several price cuts since then and was most recently listed at $4.995 million, The Journal said. The mansion, describe in the listing as the essence of "opulence and luxury" — includes a 19 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms and an indoor pool. Despite its vast size and many amenities – which also included a strip club-like room complete with stage and stripper poles – the house did not sell. 50 Cent told Eklund he would pull the home off the market and use it for his G-Unity Foundation. Rapper 50 Cent's massive Connecticut mansion just sold for $2.9 million – 84 percent less than what he first sought for it 12 years ago, according to the Wall Street Journal, which spoke to people familiar with the deal.
