Fitty's 55,000 Sq. ft home..... payed only

[Anfkid]

who woulda thought a black guys house would be classier than a white jews?

[stripes]

the blaeks like to show off before they go broke

it is funny that no one learns that lesson..tastes change & his income will dry up but he'll still have the dumbass monthly nut of entourage, cars, travel, bling & upkeep on that castle.

I thought it was in greenwich ct, it's gotta cost a zillion dollars a year to maintain that house, taxed, landscaping, help staff. I wonder what the electric bill every month is in the summer.

[fletchman71]

I feel like that is a really good price for that amazing house, but in the end, it'll end up costing so much more than it should. Think of the staff you'd have to hire to keep everything in line. So not only are you paying that huge monthly nut, you then have to pay salaries.

It doesn't seem like a good idea unless you are incredibly rich. I guess 50 is about there though.

He is already there and then some. He invested early in Glaceau right before Vitamin Water took off and he made an estimated $30-$50 million off of that alone.

No pool for 50, but it has got a pond. I'm good with that.

he probably can't swim anyway. and the house isn't in the haaaaaaaaaptons so HS's location is probably worth more.

[Anfkid]

Does anyone have a pic of Wigtopia to compare?

[Douchebag 007]

I would be scared to live alone in a house like that alone

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

Could you imagine what the monthly property taxes are for that thing!

And it's in Connecticut too so it's probably 10 times what you were thinking (if you're outside the NY-Metro area).

I know people in NJ whose property tax is $18 FUCKING THOUSAND dollars / year and their homes are nowhere near 55,000 square feet.

If that mansion was bought for $4.1 million, he's probably spending a quarter of that (a million bucks), annually, just to keep the house.

The house might have been "a steal," but the fool who buys that house without considering taxes, utilities and other expenses necessary to keep the house afloat is a blithering idiot.

And he probably gets racially profiled by the local cops every day, coming home.

from 2002:

This hasn't been a good month for Mike Tyson. On Jan. 17, his wife of four years, Monica Tyson, filed for divorce on grounds of adultery, according to her court filing. This week alone, the ex-champ, 35, was in the news twice. On Tuesday it was for allegedly inciting a melee at a press conference in New York (the gathering was to announce that he and undisputed champion Lennox Lewis will fight April 6 at the Las Vegas MGM Grand). Then, on Wednesday, Las Vegas police asked prosecutors to file sexual assault charges against him for allegedly raping a woman in his million-dollar mansion there last September, according to Reuters. On Friday comes word from the Wall Street Journal that Tyson's sprawling house in Farmington, Conn., which he has been trying to unload since 1998, has been taken off the market, according to local real-estate brokers. Iron Mike purchased the 56,000-sq.-ft. mansion on 17 acres for $2.7 million in 1997, says the Journal, and then pumped about $1 million into it -- for a gym and nightclub to go with his 18 bedrooms and 38 bathrooms. The very next year he placed the residence on the market for $22 million. In 1999, he dropped the price by more than $9 million, and when that didn't work, cut it again in 2000, to $5 million. Still, there were no bites. Some brokers told the Journal that there is a limited market for homes of this size, and though no reason was given for withdrawing the house from the market, the realtor handling the property says the "For Sale" sign may go up again once the economy improves.

[stripes]

it will probably be a corporate retreat of some sort one day once the latest owner wises up.

as of 2009:
he price of rapper 50 Cent's Connecticut mega-mansion has dropped again - to $10.9 million. The 50,000-square-foot Hartford mansion - once owned by boxer Mike Tyson - was first listed at $18.5 million, but the price keeps dropping.
Fitty bought it for $4.1 million in 2003. He said it had "a 'Miami Vice' feel" and spent $6 million on renovations and repairs.
It has 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms. It boasts a gym, billiards rooms, racquetball courts and a disco with stripper poles.
The home was for sale for nearly two years before being pulled off the market in May.

I have a 2500 sq ft home on the bay in a S. Jersey beach town. Taxes are over $10,000/ year. Taxes are very relative. Location location location
