Okay, I'll buy it, but don't you dare take out the stripper poles...

50 Cent slashes price on Conn. mansion to $10.9M (AP)
FARMINGTON, Conn. – The price of the Connecticut mega-mansion owned by rapper 50 Cent has dropped again — to $10.9 million. The 50,000-square-foot mansion is in the Hartford metropolitan area suburb Farmington. It was owned by boxer Mike Tyson. It has 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms. It boasts a gym, billiards rooms, racquetball courts and a disco with stripper poles. The New York City rapper bought it for $4.1 million. He said it had "a 'Miami Vice' feel" and spent $6 million on renovations and repairs. The home was for sale for nearly two years before being pulled off the market in May. The initial $18.5 million price dropped to $14.5 million late last year. 50 Cent says he's tired of the two-hour commute to New York City and wants to downsize.

Buyer reportedly found for former Tyson property
Unconfirmed sources report that Pool Hall Stud Mark G has agreed in principle to purchase the Farmington (CT) property currently owned by rapper 50 (Fiddy) Cent for $10,000,000. The purchase shocked the local real estate community who never saw it coming - who IS this guy? Well, perhaps this quote explains everything: "I was saying to the little woman that properties like that need an ego," explained the tall, buzz-cut, small-time hustler while relaxing at his Fairfield county estate. "There are very few who possess an ego large enough to own that particular piece. I am one of those few." Brilliantly stated.
