The price of the Connecticut mansion owned by rapper 50 Cent has dropped again - to $10.9 million. The 50,000-square-foot mansion is in the Hartford suburb of Farmington. It was owned by boxer Mike Tyson. It has 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms. It boasts a gym, billiard 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.
