50 Cent Mansion

50 Cent Knows The Power Of A Dollar


The 27-year-old rapper 50 Cent, whose given name is Curtis James Jackson III, bought former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson's Farmington, Conn., mansion for $4.1 million. The mansion was most recently owned by Tyson's ex-wife Monica Turner Tyson, who acquired it for $1 as part of their divorce settlement. The house is approximately 50,000 square feet, has 52 rooms, and was bought by Tyson for $2.7 million in 1996 (the same year he knocked out Frank Bruno in the third round to win the WBC heavyweight title in Las Vegas). At least there's enough room to accommodate 50 Cent's massive entourage: The house includes five Jacuzzis, 25 full baths, 18 bedrooms, an elevator, two billiard rooms, a movie theater and a locker room

The security team for 50 Cent met on Monday to discuss plans for his new house. Last month, there were at least 10 shots fired when 50 Cent and his entourage entered a Jersey City hotel, but as of last week investigators believed that at least one of the gunmen was a member of 50 Cent's entourage. In 2000 the young Queens native--whose past seems to be of more interest than his music--was shot nine times outside the Queens home of his grandmother (his mother was killed when he was 8). He reportedly still has a hole in his jaw and bullet fragment in his tongue from the shootings.

Bulletproof games

The Ultimate 50 Cent Experience. His Music. His Videos. His Game.

After getting' bucked nine times and left for dead, 50 climbs from the jaws of death to exact revenge on his enemies. Working with his G-Unit soldiers - Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and Young Buck - 50 takes on the most powerful gangs and crime syndicates in the city, uncovering a criminal conspiracy with international implications. This gritty urban action game, written by Terry Winter, Emmy® Award winning Executive Producer of The Sopranos®, also stars Eminem as Dectective McVicar and Dr. Dre as street-wise war veteran, Grizz.

50 Cent massacred the 2005 Billboard Awards by taking home six awards out of his eight nominated categories. 50 took home the awards for Artist of the Year, Hot 100 Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for The Massacre, and Ringtone of the Year for "Candy Shop," among other prizes. Currently, 50 and G-Unit are on tour in Canada.

Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975),[1] better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper. He rose to fame following the release of his albums Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre. 50 Cent achieved multi-platinum success with both albums, selling over twenty-one million records worldwide.[2]
Born in South Jamaica, Queens in New York, 50 Cent began drug dealing at the age of twelve during the 1980s' crack epidemic.[3] After leaving drug dealing to pursue a rap career, he was shot nine times in 2000. After releasing his mixtape Guess Who's Back? in 2002, 50 Cent was discovered by rapper Eminem and signed to Interscope Records. With the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre—who produced his first major commercial successes—he became one of the highest selling rap artists in the world. In 2003, he founded the record label G-Unit Records, which signed successful rappers such as Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo. 50 Cent has engaged in numerous feuds with other rappers including Ja Rule, The Game, and Fat Joe.
50 Cent has also pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin' in 2005 and the Iraq War film Home of the Brave in 2006.
