One look at 50 Cent's Instagram can show you how much he loves showing off his riches. However, his latest move illustrates the charitable nature of the Queens-born mogul. TMZ reports he has finally sold his 50,000 square foot Connecticut estate to the tune of $3 million, but he is not expected to see a dime, as he plans on forwarding all of the money to a charitable organization. Mr. Jackson took to his Twitter to retweet this news.

TMZ reports that 50 Cent has sold his Connecticut mansion- which was once owned by Mike Tyson- and will donate the $3 million proceeds to charity.The property- which was sold at a steep discount from its original, $18 million asking price- boasts 52 rooms (including 21 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, and 9 kitchens), indoor and outdoor pools- and indoor and outdoor basketball courts.
G-Unity Foundation, which provides grants to nonprofit organizations that focus on improving quality of life in poverty-stricken areas, will be the recipient of the donation.
