Extravagent 50 CENT spared no expense decorating his USD $18.5 million Connecticut estate - he spent USD $80,000 on a chandelier for a room he has never been in! More money than sense? Or just blinging up for his impending visit to the UAE?

The In Da Club star found inspiration to buy the baccarat ornament, adorning his formal dining room, from fellow mogul Kimora Lee Simmons, who he says "doesn't spare five dollars".

The rapper boasts on an MTV Cribs special, "I could've bought a BMW instead of that".

But he insists he doesn't regret spending so much on the accessory no-one has seen - because he saved money by keeping the dining chairs left by former owner Mike Tyson when the Farmington estate transferred hands in 2004.
