Homeless Man Inherits $6 million - but doesn't know it!!

  A homeless man reported to be living on the streets in Bolivia fled police who were bringing him news of a $6-million inheritance. Tomas Martinez, 67, thought the police were about to arrest him for his alcohol and drug habits. The man disappeared without a trace, causing Bolivian newspapers to speak of him in 2000 as a "new millionaire paradoxically not knowing his fortune".

The inheritance came to Mr Martinez from his ex-wife, Ines Gajardo Olivares, who inherited the money herself from family members. She evidently did not blame him for leaving her several years ago.
