And it would’ve been a bitter pill for the 54-year-old to swallow, looking at the mega mansion.

Boasting 52 rooms, including 21 bedrooms, as well as its own nightclub the property is as lavish as Tyson has ever owned.

But it was needs must for the heavyweight boxing legend, and in came rapper 50 Cent who bought it from him for £3.3million the same year it was revealed he blew his fortune.

When the In da Club singer bought the house from Tyson, it set a record for the most expensive home ever sold in the area of Farmington – and it’s easy to see why.

Along with those 21 bedrooms we mentioned earlier, the 50,000-square-foot abode has a 25 bathrooms, an indoor pool and hot tub, an indoor court, multiple game rooms, a green-screen room, and a recording studio.

TOO EXPENSIVE

Over the years, the property has dropped in value rapidly – mostly because of its running costs that 50 cent complained cost him around £50,000-per-month.

In fact, it was on the market for 12 years – starting at £14million before it was finally sold last year for just £2.3million – an 84 per cent price drop.

“It’s just oversized for the market,” estate agent Jonathan Miller told Realtor.com.

“When you have a property that is well outside the norm, it takes a lot longer to sell.”

In the end, it was reportedly snapped up by US businessman Casey Askar, who owns several fast-food businesses.

Another of Mike Tyson’s amazing homes, complete with cages for his tigers, was left abandoned before it was converted into a church.

The 54-year-old now has everything back on track as he prepares for his comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr on September 12.
