50 Cent Sells his Mansion

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 11:19 AM PST

50 Cent's house is so huge he can't even call it his "home," which is why he can't wait to get rid of it.

50 bought the 19 bedroom, 37-bathroom mansion in Farmington, Connecticut from Mike Tyson back in 2003 for $5 million but admits he's having a really hard time selling it.

He says, "That's why I'm downsizing, I need somewhere where I can feel at home. It feels like I'm in a hotel. There's a nightclub. You know how people have like a focus group? I have that for my music, like, 1500 people and play it (new songs). The neighbors are so far away they can't even hear us."

50 put the mansion on the market in 2007 with an asking price of $18.5 million, but there were no buyers. Two years later the property still hadn't sold so he dropped the price another $3.6 million but no such luck.

So if you have an extra $14.9 million dollars laying around and want to buy up a house you can never call home, call up fifty.

Road to Heaven

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 10:01 AM PST

In Taiwan only the best of the best can enter the elite military. To be elite you must first pass a grueling test that pushes your endurance. You will have to endure rocks and coral in a 50 meter strip called the "Road to Heaven". It is anything, but heaven. These inductees try to fight their way across it. They have to walk across and even crawl with hands behind their backs against the rocks and sharp coral. If you can make it down this road you can enter the elite unit of Taiwan's army called the Sea Dragons. Just look at the faces of these recruits and the tears of happiness once they arrive at the end.
