This story goes to show…the poorest man you see, may be richest man you know.

 

Las Vegas, Nevada resident, Walter Samasko Jr was found dead in his home after months of decaying.  After the smell of a foul odor started seaping through his garage, a neighbor checked the home and found Samasko’s body.  Apparently Samasko, a reclusive 69 years old, died of heart problems. Samasko has no known family.

 

Once his body was removed from the home and officials began searching his home, they quickly learned that Samasko was not poor.  Officials found over $7 million dollars in gold bars and coins.  It is not clear as to how long he’s had these items stored away. But, he definitely has a “million dollar” reason to be secretive and a recluse.  It is said that Samasko only had $200 in his bank account when he died.  He was heavy believer in “anti-government” and had not worked in 40 years.

 

Samasko’s mother passed away in 1992. She was his last known relative.  But, authorities were able to track down a first cousin in California, Arlene Magdanz.  No official statement has yet been made from Ms. Magdanz.
