Although millionaires have extravagant lifestyles and love to splurge on luxury, some people like to keep things simple despite amassing a significant amount of wealth. Such is the tale of Geoffrey Holt who lived a humble life in a small town and left a multi-million dollar gift for the townspeople.
Holt, a caretaker of a mobile home park used to be dressed in threadbare clothes and was often spotted by his neighbors riding his lawn mower, as he had given up his car. He was often seen reading a newspaper or simply sitting there and watching cars pass by.
The man didn't have a car or furniture when he died and was even seen doing odd jobs apart from giving driving lessons to high schoolers.
His mobile home in a park was almost empty and didn't even have a TV. "He seemed to have what he wanted, but he didn't want much," said Edwin "Smokey" Smith, Holt's best friend and former employer. But it was only after Holt died that everyone found out that he was a multimillionaire.
