I liked the part where he said he could've bought a BMW instead of that chandelier. That just shows you what its like being rich, where you buy things you think you should have, not because you even want them.

He didn't even talk about the F40, now that is a stripped down car. Really his cars weren't too impressive (well the F40 and F50 are, the Enzo and 599 to a lesser extent). I love how there was a Pontiac G6 in there (yay more Pontiac product placement).

Not many condos in Avon. Which ones? New Haven is a shithole.

I like how this guy says "not too impressive" like hes got million dollar enzos sitting around ;) :p....they obviously didn't show all his cars. I'm sure he has a garage full of every exotic car you could think of.

Yeah but the whole point of the show is to showboat, why wouldn't you put out the most exotic cars you have? Hell he even admits the whole point to him owning some if not all of them is just to show people up, or at least not get shown up.

When Dennis Rodman wanted to bu ya home in town for $8M, his future neighbors didn't like the idea so they poled their money together and bought the house so he couldn't.

As Jadakiss once threw a diss towards 50...

"[How you the king of New York and you live in Connecticut?]"

eh, I think its pretty cool that 50 Cent was willing to buy a house in CT away from LA, NY or some other "in" city. Im guessing it has to do with privacy and the deal on the house, but I bet a lot of people would instead spend 4 million for a substantially smaller house just to be near Manhattan or Hollywood.

New haven is a blast. There isn't a god damn thing going on in the farmington valley. Im glad to leave. Waterbury is a shithole. bridgeport is a shithole. But they yale area of new have is quite decent.

:thumbsup: for 50. I can't disparage a self made man. He slung dope when he was younger, but he's got his shit together now.

There are plenty of people in the world who can flaunt their fame and fortune, but are they truly happy?

I sure as hell would be.

I think 50 is happy. He came from nothing (a crack head/dealing mother, no father) and made it to be one of the most successful artists ever. Kudos to him and I would be enjoying life just as much as he would...I'm surprised he doesn't have a yacht of some kind...
