Mike Tyson bought a 51,800-sq-ft Connecticut mansion for $3 million in 1996; later 50 cent bought it for $4.1 million and sold it for $2.9 million in 2019; it is now back for $9.9 million

A Connecticut mansion once owned by boxing legend Mike Tyson and rapper 50 Cent is back on the market, and its price history tells a story on its own. The estate at 50 Poplar Hill Drive in Farmington spans about 51,800 square feet on 17.6 acres, and it has passed through some of the biggest names in sports and music since Tyson first bought it.

Tyson purchased the mansion in 1996 for about 3 million dollars, according to contemporary reporting cited by Fox News and TheGrio. At the time, it was already known as one of the largest private homes in the state, with a recording studio, an indoor pool, and a private nightclub that Tyson himself built and named Club TKO, after his own fighting style.
