Two Homeless Brothers Living In A Cave Inherit 4 Billion Dollars

I was thinking that myself. Screw you guys while I am alive but when I am dead, I will help you. That is pretty heartless.

That's exactly what one of the brothers said.

Yeah, now that's heaven - as close as anybody would ever hope to get.

Try living in a cave for most of your adult life, then you can come back and tell us how bad it would be to inherit this kind of jack.
You really think that they might be better off living in a cave ?

Give me a break dude.

it was somewhat tongue in cheek. but in all seriousness, that kind of windfall seriously complicates your life. maybe it's the Henry David Thoreau in me coming out, but I was just thinking they probably had very simple and easy to manage lives and this money will undoubtedly complicate things more than you could ever imagine.

as biggie smalls once said, more money; more problems.

Henry David Thoreau never lived in a cave.

the chaos that will ensue will undoubtedly be incredibly stressful. the thought came across my mind of how this ends up in the long run. Will these two brothers that lived together in a cave, stay together now that they have inherited such a great deal of money. Basically, will it tear them apart? Ive got a feeling that it will probably benefit someone if they do get the brothers to split up, so there will be external efforts hard at work. So they very well could end up being very miserable having to deal with all this.

Ailj

That supposed misery you're suggesting will beat living in a cave any day of the week.

We're talking dirt poor, hungry, depressed,empty, cold. depressed, lonely, stinky, tired, angry, depressed, scared, depressed, smelly, and depressed 24/7 and 365 days a year, for a whole lot of years.

You and your brother.

A pair of homeless brothers living in a Budapest cave have hit the jackpot after a long-lost German heiress passed away and left them a £4 billion fortune. ----

J_Jammer is right, theres a chance they wont spend it like a stupid American would.

thanks for looking out jammer ;)

The Earth is filled with humans. Give any human an exuberant amount of money and they have the potential to spend recklessly. It is not a country problem. Thinking otherwise is not only a mistake, but a prejudicial mistake that only a person with hate would make.

jeez jammer, you make it too easy.

the statement that hopefully these guys do not waste it like stupid americans was a generalization, not discrimination. If you examine the arrogant materialism across the globe, it is understandable that you will find it everywhere. Yet, it is not far fetched to say many citizens of the United States waste their money. Just because someone wants to generalize wasting money with something Americans do, does not mean he absolutely must include everyone else in the world that does the same. It seems very evident that you have difficulty understanding what a fair generalization of a particular group is, a problem that stretches far beyond this story. At the same time, you make your own generalizations that simply baffle most.

Overall I think you need to just lighten up.

lol....or just making up a justification.

Nah that's all it could be.

There is an exemption for the first 5 million dollars in the United States, and you can give $12,000 per year to anyone tax free.

Did you know that?

The inheritance tax is great. It needs to be more.

hahahahahahahahaha!!! the best comment so far!!

Ditto.
lol

You seem like the perfect person to donate to my charity. I need to put a deck on my house. It's for the children (of my neighbors to look at). Please give me your credit card number before you dip that pony in gold. Thank you kinds sir. ;)

Probably, it's safe to assume that they could have been envious of the rich, but I believe that was probably not their biggest issue..I mean they lived in a cave for jeebus sake. Let's just be happy that two human beings can live a more comfortable life now, everyone deserves that. (i think if anyone's jealous it may be you Mr. CreditFigaro)

"This is why we need a steep inheritance tax."

Alright so what happens when you inherit 4 billion? Still want that tax?

Haha, I am not jealous of rich people. I am frustrated that our middle class fails to thrive because of them. I never want to be rich. If I accumulate enough wealth to retire comfortably, then I'll devote my life and resources to a nonprofit cause of relevance. Rich people don't make a difference, caring people do.

By the way, If I got an inheritance of $4 billion, I would gladly have 95% of it taxed away to support the disadvantaged or whatever else the community decided was a good use for it. I still don't know what I would do with the $200,000,000 left over.

Even if I could keep it all, I would make sure that it all directly went to a valuable cause of some kind.

I don't need a dynasty full of snobby, snot nosed, entitled brats. It's not a cost effective utilization of wealth.

Which just backs what I stated about how they need an advisor....accountant or someone to help them deal with this amount of money. They do not have any experience with money and so wouldn't know what to do with it or what is a good price for what.

You're absolutely right, JJ.

That is a lot more money.

Tax.

That doesn't change what I said....

just because you are given an allowance doesn't mean you know how to use it correctly. You cannot expect people that never had that amount of money to use it correctly let alone know what to do with it....and not be swindled by someone.

Nice try. You lose every time you do, but keep it...maybe you'll catch on.

It's 12.30am EST. and you've got nothing better to do than try and find somebody,...anybody, to argue with.

This is really sad.

I didn't use someone's name to start an argument.

Who did that?

lol... priceless!!

Every second.

it just never stops.

I know. Recommending comments that lie.

unfortunately he's right. 2 billions dollars will easily assist him in getting any woman he wants probably.

yeah i think you said it just well!

Are we talking a clink in women's 'equality now' armor?

if that kind of jack doesn't help them, nothing will.

you're soo right!

Which is why they need advisors or a really smart accountant....or a great lawyer.
