  "account": "In 1996, heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson paid approximately $3 million for a 51,830-square-foot Connecticut mansion. The property, located at 50 Poplar Hill Drive in Farmington, featured 21 bedrooms, 40 bathrooms, and a variety of lavish amenities including seven kitchens, an indoor pool, a nightclub, a recording studio, and a casino. Tyson sold the mansion in 2003 to rapper 50 Cent for $4.1 million, who subsequently added a club called Club TKO within the property. In 2019, 50 Cent sold the estate to Casey Askar and his wife, Shera, for $2.9 million, which was significantly lower than the property's previous asking price of $18.5 million in 2007. The Askars made extensive renovations to the mansion, adding amenities such as a cigar lounge, a remodeled commercial kitchen, and a steam room. The property's $9.9 million asking price in 2025 was nearly double the median home sale price in Hartford County, reflecting its history of successive ownership and development.",
