Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's House (former)

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is a Queens-born rapper, actor, and TV producer who broke out with Get Rich or Die Tryin’ in 2003. He later built the Power franchise for Starz.

Built in 1985 for Benjamin Sisti, co-founder of Colonial Realty. The firm went bankrupt in 1990, Sisti pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud, and People’s Bank bought the estate at a 1992 foreclosure auction.

Mike Tyson bought it in 1996 and added an indoor disco, a room done in pink, and an NBA-size basketball court, according to Boston.com. A 2003 divorce settlement then handed the estate to his ex-wife, Monica Turner.

Jackson paid Turner $4.1M in 2003, by the accounts of CBS and Boston.com, though the AP’s 2019 story says 2004. Boston.com counts $6M of work after that, including an infinity pool, a grotto, and a helicopter pad.

Jackson said he bought it for its “Miami Vice” feel, per NBC New York. By 2009 he was tired of the 2-hour commute to Manhattan, and his 2015 bankruptcy filings put upkeep at $72,000 a month.

WTNH says Jackson recorded his album The Massacre here. In September 2025 the station found the house back on the market near $10M, after its latest owners had used it as a family home.

First priced at $18.5M in 2007, the house took almost 12 years to sell. The April 2019 deal closed about 84% below that number, and TMZ said the money would go to his G-Unity Foundation.
