Blowing Money Fast —10 Obscene Hip-Hop Purchases

3) 50 Cent

The purchase: Mike Tyson's former mansion in Farmington, Connecticut
The price tag: $4.1 million
The bottom line: Four mill really isn't a lot to a superstar rapper (re-read the Diddy entry above for proof). But the fact that Fif went from a down-and-out rapper at the end of the 1990s to shacking up in Mike Tyson's old pad was a power move, if we've ever seen one. From the Gucci-print walls to the in-house club, this house was a knockout.
