According to Newsday, the new owner is seeking $475,000 for the land and has tamed with a new builder to construct a home that could sell for as much as $1.5 million dollars. 50′s old mansion burned to the ground in 2008, just days after a heated argument was caught on videotape between 50 Cent and his ex Shaniqua Tompkins, who was living in the house at the time of the fire with their son Marquise. a total of six people escaped the fire unharmed.
