Why 50 Cent's notorious mansion only sold for $2.9 million:
Courtesy of Douglas EllimanThe enormous estate was built in 1985 for Benjamin Sisti, founder of failed Colonial Realty Co., who was convicted a decade later in a fraud case. At the time, the mansion was viewed as a monstrosityive times as large as the next house in Farmington. Since the 1980s, it had become a neighborhood symbol of excess, greed, corruption, and alleged debauchery.“It’s the largest house in the northeast,” says Douglas Elliman’s Jennifer Leahy, who brokered the deal.
The rapper dropped more than $100,000 just on the club's audio-visual set up which surrounds the dance floor stage. Outdoors, the 17-acre grounds also offer a guesthouses, mountain views, waterfalls, bridges, and landscaped gardens.Despite taking a loss, 50 Cent is okay. While his “Piggy Bank” isn’t as full as it once was, the prolific entertainer still lives comfortably with a lucrative back music catalog and a successful career as a writer, producer and actor on Starz’s crime drama series.
