ZSOLT AND GEZA PELADI

BUDAPEST – Two brothers living in a cave in Hungary are set to inherit $6.6 billion!
Zsolt and Geza Peladi are middle-aged brothers living in a cave on the outskirts of Budapest. They had turned to selling scrap for a meager living, but were only scraping buy.
But the Peladis’ lives are about to change, as they may be entitled to their grandmother’s $6.6 billion estate!
The unidentified woman (kept secret to deter possible fraudsters) passed away in Baden-Wurttenberg, Germany. She was the Peladi’s maternal grandmother.
“We knew our mother came from a wealthy family, but she was a difficult person and severed ties with them, and then later abandoned us,” said Geza.
“We don’t know yet if she even told our grandmother about us. I understand it was only while they were carrying out genealogical research that lawyers found we existed.”
Hungarian charity workers found the brothers after the woman’s lawyers began the search. Gyula Balazs Csaszar, a volunteer at Budapest’s Maltese Charity Service, said, “We were contacted by a lawyer asking us to find the brothers. He claimed he could help their lives with a large sum of money.”
The Peladis would share the money with a sister who lives in America. They only need to find a copy of their mother’s birth certificate in order to show proof of identity.
The brothers seem most excited about the romantic possibilities ahead! “If this all works out it will certainly make up for the life we have had until now – all we really had was each other. No women would look at us, living in a cave. But with money maybe we can find a partner – and finally have a normal life.”
