50 Cent’s Houses: Exploring the Rapper’s Over-The-Top Real Estate Portfolio
It wasn’t until spring 2019 when it finally sold for $2.9 million—12 years later and 84% less than the home’s original listing. The Power producer reportedly planned to donate the cash from the sale to his nonprofit, G-Unit Foundation Inc. At the time of its sale, 50 Cent was reportedly living in an apartment in Midtown Manhattan, though details of that property are scarce. It may or may not have had a Versace toilet, per a 2015 interview with the New York Post.“I just don’t need the same things [anymore],” 50 Cent said in an interview with Haute Living in 2024. “I do things differently. Now, I know myself more. I know what I require, and I definitely don’t require 55,000 square feet. If I had 13 kids, maybe, they would fit comfortably in 18 rooms. Other than that, it’s just me. I really need three rooms total. A bedroom, an office, a guest bedroom.”Long Island dwellingIn 2007, 50 Cent paid a reported $2.4 million for a mansion in the Long Island hamlet of Dix Hills. The dwelling was a 5,200-square-foot Colonial with six bedrooms and five bathrooms, according to Newsday. It’s unclear if he ever actually resided at the home, but his ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, and their then-10-year-old son, Marquise, lived there when the residence was at the center of a dispute between the couple in 2008. In the midst of the legal battle, the house burned down in a fire that officials deemed “suspicious.” Since then, the former couple have continued to have a contentious relationship, and 50 Cent reportedly offloaded the vacant property for $365,000 in 2010.Houston homeThough no details have been released about his residence, 50 Cent announced in May 2021 that he had moved to Texas. “I Love NY, but I live in Houston now,” he posted. The Lone Star state was confirmed as the rapper’s primary residence by his lawyer the next month, when a New Jersey apartment rented by “one of [his] corporate entities” was burglarized. It’s unclear if he maintains a home in Houston.Black-and-white abode50 offered a peek into his latest mansion for Us Weekly’s August 2024 cover story. Featuring an exclusively black-and-white color scheme, the pad boasts marble floors, samurai statues, crystal chandeliers, and larger-than-life art appointed by the media mogul. “I put this together myself,” he told the outlet. “I didn’t use an interior decorator.” 50 Cent also shared glimpses of a trophy-lined office and a formal dining area with a nearby wine cellar. Per Us, the pad also has a spa complete with a sauna, cold plunge, and indoor lap pool.Though the rapper hasn’t disclosed the location of the boldly decorated dwelling, a New Jersey-based contractor van was parked outside during a tour of the space that 50 Cent shared on Instagram live.Business investments in LouisianaThough it’s unknown if he owns a home nearby, 50 Cent has most recently invested in real estate for his business ventures in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana, where the businessman has built a studio for his production company, G-Unit Studios. “The studio itself, it’s for me to create content, to go make television shows and films and stuff like that,” he said in July 2024. “But Shreveport, I have to be able to create an experience for people to come, so I started investing in the downtown area, buying properties and stuff. I got to revitalize that along with the studio.”
