BANKRUPT 50 CENT TRYING TO SELL IS MANSION, WHICH COST HIM $72K A MONTH TO MAINTAIN

 Rapper 50 Cent's bankruptcy attorney says he'll try again to sell his 50,000-square-foot Connecticut mansion.

The Hartford Courant reports that his lawyer Pat Neligan spoke at a court hearing on Wednesday that 50 Cent did not attend.

The rapper's attorneys have said he was trying to lease the Farmington mansion, which sits on 17 acres, to raise money.

He listed it for $18.5 million in 2007 and has dropped the price of the home several times.

The house, which has 21 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms, costs a whopping $72,000 a month to finance and maintain.



The rapper bought the home, that also has a gym, racquetball courts and a disco with a dancing room that features stripper poles, in 2003 from legendary boxer Mike Tyson for $4.1 million.

After purchasing the home, the 50 Cent spent $6 million renovating the house and installed a helicopter pad, infinity pool and a private cinema.

The entertainer has followed in the footsteps of Tyson and two other former owners of the huge property, one of the biggest private residences in America, that none of them could afford to keep.

Court papers revealed the star spends a whopping $108,000 on his expenses each month, including $5,000 on gardening alone.

Attorneys worked out details on court oversight of payments to the rapper's attorneys and accountants and disclosure to creditors of his endorsement deals.
