50,000 Square Foot Mega-Mansion in Farmington, Connecticut

$10,000,000



Currently on the market for only $9,999,999, this enormous 48,515 square foot mansion is definitely one of a kind. The house is owned by rapper 50 Cent and it has every amenity you could possibly need. There are 21 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, a huge foyer that resembles a hotel lobby, an enormous kitchen with two islands, a theater, meeting/conference room, multiple game rooms, gym, indoor racquetball court, indoor pool, and even a nightclub!

However, for a house of this size, there seems to be a lack of quality throughout the home. Overall the mansion looks rather ugly and it resembles a hotel. It was built in 1985 and it sits on over 17 acres. The property is located on Poplar Hill Dr in Farmington, Connecticut. Click the first link below for the listing and the second link for an aerial view of the mansion.
