Under the plan approved Wednesday by a judge in Hartford, Connecticut, 50 Cent will repay between 74% and 92% of his debts over the next five years. The filing listed 50 Cent’s assets, including a 21-bedroom Connecticut mansion once owned by boxer Mike Tyson, valued at $8.25 million, which will be sold; about $10.6 million in cash and securities; and a Bentley valued at $167,000.
