Think your house is a money pit? You’ve got nothing on rapper 50 Cent and his sprawling, 17-acre estate in Farmington, Conn., which has been on the market for three years with no takers.

Add in the cost of occasional big-ticket items like roofs, furnace and painting and annual costs would easily top a half-million dollars.
