An unassuming New Hampshire man who lived a threadbare existence has stunned his local community by gifting them $3.8 million following his death.
Secret multimillionaire Geoffrey Holt, 82, lived quietly in the town of Hinsdale for decades until passing in June.
His home was a rundown trailer and he was often seen sporting tatty clothes and riding around town on a lawnmower since he had no car.
But now it has emerged the groundskeeper was sitting on a fortune, which he generously chose to share with his town after his death.
‘I don’t think anyone had any idea that he was that successful,’ said Steve Diorio, chairperson of the town select board who’d occasionally wave at Holt from his car.
