50 Cent's Farmington Mansion Sold: TMZ

FARMINGTON, CT - After attempts to sell his Farmington mansion have ebbed and flowed for the past nine years, a buyer has finally been found for 50 Cent's sprawling estate.

Entertainment web site TMZ.com reported the rapper's 21-bedroom home has been sold for $8 million, which is $10.5 million less than the star's original listing price back in 2007.

The Poplar Hill Drive home, which was formerly owned by heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, was purchased by 50 Cent (real name: Curtis Jackson III) in 2003 for just over $4 million.

Price history records on zillow.com indicate the estate's price dropped to $14.5 million in 2008, to $10.9 million in 2009, to $9,999,999 in 2011, and to its current $8.5 million in Oct. 2015.

TMZ reported the unnamed buyer is planning on turning the 52-room, 50,000 square foot home into an assisted living facility, pending town approval.
