I think I'm going mad. I swear I saw in this thread a picture about a spanish trampy type or some where who walks 10 miles into town everyday and begs for money. he then donates all the money to local charities and lives off his state pension ? of 50 euros a week or something.

Am i going crazy ? Also, does any one know a place which has a collection of these stories ?

Secret millionaire: Tin-Can-Curt, the tramp who made £1m from recycling cans
By ANNY SHAW

As well as eating left-over food from bins and wearing the same filthy blue anorak, Mr Degerman would regularly study the financial pages of newspapers in the town's public library every day.
'He went to the library every day because he didn't buy newspapers. There he read [Swedish business daily] Dagens Industri,' his cousin told local media at the time of his death.
'He knew the stock market inside out.'
It was thanks to his shrewd decisions that he amassed his fortune.
It was only after he died of a heart attack that his relatives found he had left behind shares worth more than £731,000 in a Swiss bank account.
In addition he left gold bars worth £250,000 as well as £275 of loose change at his home.
The closet millionaire was described by relatives as a 'very clever' child who had dropped out of school after a personal crisis.
His fortune came to light after a row developed following his death.
Mr Degerman had made a will leaving his entire fortune to one cousin who visited him during the months leading up to his death.
