BHR Hollywood Reports...........Martin Shkreli, often seen as the epitome of the greedy ‘Big Pharma’ industry, has managed to generate some positive news after promising to donate $10,000 to an autism charity

“I want to turn this misunderstanding into an understanding,” 50 said in a statement. “There are people that are ignored, mistreated and neglected with disabilities that need our support.”

The teen’s stepfather initially said he wanted $1 million from Fif due to harassment, but the family eventually asked the G-Unit mogul to donate $10,000 to Autism Speaks. 50—who filed for bankruptcy last year—not only went above that amount, but he also asked others to join him.

The former Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO, who is said to be worth anywhere between $45 million and $100 million, initially wanted to donate the money directly to the family of

19-year-old Andrew Farrell, although the family were reportedly unaware he was “America’s most hated man” when they were told about his gift.

The money will end up going to the Autism Speaks charity, per the family’s request, and they hope to inspire others to donate through a GoFundMe page.

“I am OK with it all as long as the money goes to Autism Speaks,” Kent Farrell said.

Shkreli, who apparently once paid $2 million for a rare Wu-Tang Clan album, has also called on 50 Cent to match his donation, although there are conflicting reports over whether the rapper has committed to doing so.
