Mike Tyson was declared bankrupt by the Federal Reserve in 2003. He was then forced to sell his assets.
His prized Connecticut home was one of the first things he lost, with reported debts in excess of PS17million.
It would have been hard for the 55-year old to swallow looking at this massive mansion.
The property boasts 52 rooms, 21 bedrooms and its own nightclub. It is the most extravagant Tyson's ever owned.
It was a must-have for the heavyweight boxing legend, and 50 Cent bought it from him at PS3.3m in the same year that it was revealed that he had blown his fortune.
PROPERTY DEETS
The house was purchased by Tyson by In Da Club's singer. It set a record as the most expensive farmington home sold.
The 50,000-square foot home has 21 bedrooms, an indoor pool, hot tub, multiple game rooms, and a green-screen area. It also includes a recording studio.
The opulence does not end there.
A lion statue greets you as you enter the property via a grand front gate.
A duelling staircase with wood panels leads to the second level.
The property's decor is extravagant as they come, as can be seen.
The master bedroom offers a beautiful view of the garden.
There is a steel staircase from there that leads to a second floor with a large walk-in closet and glass doors.
One of the many en suites features a large bathtub with a view over the gardens and a glass door shower.
That's Entertainment
This home is perfect for anyone who enjoys having friends around.
The property also has indoor and outdoor basketball courts.
You won't have to travel to Las Vegas ever again. There is a pool table room and a second room with roulette and poker tables.
The pond is located next to the outdoor basketball court and features a water feature that spews out, as well as a guesthouse.
This property has a history of sales that is not in the best.
Too expensive
The property's value has declined rapidly over the years, mainly due to its running expenses that 50 Cent claimed cost him about PS50,000 per month.
It was actually on the market for 12 year - it started at PS14m, and was sold in 2019 for only PS2.3m, an 84% price drop.
Jonathan Miller, an estate agent, stated that it was too big for the market.
It takes longer to sell a property that is not the norm.
It was eventually purchased by Casey Askar, a US businessman who also owns several fast food businesses.
Another one of Mike Tyson’s incredible homes, complete with cages to house his tigers was abandoned before it was transformed into a church.
