A Very Generous Gesture

Beer Millionaire has left £2m to everyone in his Village Cerezales del Condando Spain
So all the 80 residents are now millionaires.

Antonino Fernandez, was born in poverty in 1917 the 11th of thirteen children and left school at 14 years of age. Died August 2016. He and his wife deceased, had no children.

His Company ‘Corona’ is the largest beer importer of US.
He was Knighted by the King of Spain.

Proves you do not have to be well educated to become rich and successful.

He never forgot his roots, and he funded a number of Charities for the disabled too.

Re: A Very Generous Gesture

Marvelous ? Kind ?

He's dead ! No more use for money.
No great sacrifice.

Besides, it sounds like $2mx80 is a mere piss-in-a bucket from that estate (with no children).

Gotta do something with the beer money.

It was still a kind and thoughtful gesture. more than many other billionaires have done. The Villagers are thrilled to bits as well.
Listen to me my good man, You would not say that if he had left you £2 million, Would you ?

That's brilliant Azure, if I had no children and lots of money I would love to spread it around my village upon my death.
