Inside Tyson’s 52-room mansion he sold to rapper 50 Cent for £3.3m

When Mike Tyson was declared bankrupt in 2003, he was forced to sell up.

With reported debts of £17million, his prized home in Connecticut was one of his first possessions to be sacrificed.

And it would’ve been a bitter pill for the 53-year-old to swallow, looking at the mega mansion.

Boasting 52 rooms, including 21 bedrooms, as well as its own nightclub the property is as lavish as Tyson has ever owned.

But it was needs must for the heavyweight boxing legend, and in came rapper 50 Cent who bought it from him for £3.3million the same year it was revealed he blew his fortune.

When the In da Club singer bought the house from Tyson, it set a record for the most expensive home ever sold in the area of Farmington – and it’s easy to see why.

Along with those 21 bedrooms we mentioned earlier, the 50,000-square-foot abode has a 25 bathrooms, an indoor pool and hot tub, an indoor court, multiple game rooms, a green-screen room, and a recording studio.

Entering the property through a stately front gate, you’re greeted by a lion statue.

Walking into the home on the marble floor, a duelling wood-panelled staircase leads you to another level of the property.
