Homeless brothers to inherit billions...

[mnhtnbb]

BUDAPEST, Hungary - Talk about a reversal of fortunes.

Two brothers who are so poor they live in a cave on the outskirts of Budapest and get by selling scavenged junk are in line to receive a $6.6 billion inheritance from a long-lost grandmother, the U.K. Daily Telegraph reports.

Zsolt and Geza Peladi have been informed that they are entitled to the fortune, along with a sister who lives in the United States, the newspaper reported Wednesday.

Under German law, direct descendants are automatically entitled to a share of any estate. As the grandmother’s daughter is dead, the money goes to her grandchildren.

13. Knowing your luck it's probably my sister.

She'd probably spend her surprise inheritance on extremely unfortunate cars.

5. Taking bets on when a movie will be made about them.

If they're telling reporters “But with money, maybe we can find a partner" already I think the film could get interesting.


Hopefully they'll learn to cope with the changes in their life.

9. There was a great French film from the 1960's

About a simple mountain shepard who had an unexploded WWII bomb next to his house in the French Alps. One day he gets up his courage and from behind a barricade shoots the bomb in order to set it off. The bomb does not explode but opens and is filled with money. He proceeds to ruin his life.
