50 Cent says expenses $108,000 a month; $72,000 for mansion

Rapper 50 Cent says in a Connecticut bankruptcy court filing he spends $108,000 a month on his expenses. That number includes $9,000 for security, $5,000 for gardening, $3,000 on his wardrobe and $1,000 for grooming.

He has a monthly income of $185,000, mainly from royalties and interest on his investments. But he's paying $72,000 a month to maintain his suburban Hartford mansion.

He filed for bankruptcy last month after New York City jurors ordered him to pay $7 million to a woman who said he posted online a crudely narrated sex tape she made with a boyfriend.

His Monday court filing says he also owes money to his stylist, his barber and his fitness coach.

The rapper was born Curtis Jackson III. His album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" helped make him one of the world's best-selling artists. He's due back in bankruptcy court Wednesday.
