Rapper 50 Cent, also known as Curtis James Jackson III, has bid farewell to his opulent Connecticut mansion as it finally found a buyer for $2.9 million. This substantial estate, nestled near Farmington, approximately 80 miles from Greenwich, boasts an impressive living space of over 50,000 square feet and stands out as one of the few properties in the state with authorized helicopter landing grounds, as confirmed by Douglas Elliman, the listing company.
Described as the epitome of “opulence and luxury,” the mansion encompasses 19 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, and an indoor pool, offering a lifestyle of grandeur and extravagance. Moreover, the property is adorned with a plethora of amenities, including a nightclub, an indoor basketball court, multiple game rooms, a green screen room, a recording studio, a fully equipped gym, a conference room, and a home cinema.
Set on 17.6 acres of land, the mansion’s grounds feature a pool, a grotto, a pond, a basketball court, guesthouses, and gardens, creating a serene and picturesque retreat for its inhabitants. The sale of the property was skillfully handled by Jennifer Leahy of Douglas Elliman, who represented the estate during the transaction.
Selling the mansion proved to be a challenging task, as 50 Cent had made considerable efforts over the years to find a buyer. The Wall Street Journal reported that the selling price was a remarkable 84 percent lower than the initial asking price set 12 years ago.
Before the sale, the mansion was listed on Zillow as available for rent at a monthly price of $100,000. A representative for 50 Cent informed the Wall Street Journal that the proceeds from the sale would benefit the rapper’s non-profit organization, the G-Unity Foundation, showcasing his commitment to charitable giving and making a positive impact in the community.
As 50 Cent bids farewell to his extravagant Connecticut mansion, the legacy of luxury, persistence, and charitable giving remains ingrained in the history of this remarkable property. Through the ups and downs of the real estate market, this estate stands as a testament to the artist’s unwavering determination and his desire to make a difference in the lives of others through his philanthropic efforts.
