Millionaire to give away her inheritance worth $27 million to strangers for a mind-blowing reason
|

| There has been an increase in the divide between the rich and the poor over many years. The alarming rate requires that humanity take a joint responsibility towards balancing the same. However, this can only be achieved with a cooperative effort from both ends. Millionaires like Marlene Engelhorn, an activist from Austria–who goes by @marlene_.engelhorn on Instagram–have been making financially wise and wholesome decisions and she is a bright example for many. She is an heiress to a fortune worth millions and shares a video with the mind-boggling news that she would like to give away her inheritance to those in need. |
| Introducing herself on the platform solely for this purpose, Engelhorn mentioned how it is unfair that others suffer while millionaires pass on generations of wealth. “I was born into a rich family and will one day inherit a fortune for which I never had to work,” she explained. She thought that millionaires should not have the freedom to decide whether or not they want to work for a living. “Social justice is in everyone’s best interest,” she added. She recently shared another video on the platform, where she spoke in an interview with Euro News about giving away €25 million ($27 million) to the right people. |
| In the video, Engelhorn advocated spreading her vast financial wealth across the globe for people in need or at the least having more valid taxes inflicted on people who are millionaires like her to bring a balance somewhere. “I have this money because the government has failed to mandate it,” Engelhorn said. She strongly believes that money should not be unequally distributed just because people are born into certain families with certain financial powers. Over the next few months, during weekends, experts will assist Engelhorn in picking worthy citizens to share the money with. |

Man puts his foot down and refuses to pay after being forced to cover restaurant bill for strangers
|
|
|
| Going out to eat with friends and acquaintances is always a happy affair. But what can make the situation sour is people not paying for what they ordered or, even worse, not paying altogether. u/SEO403 had such a story to share when he went out with his friend and other acquaintances and they refused to pay their share of the bill. The post has become popular and has received 9.1K upvotes. |
| The individual begins the post by saying that he has been having a few weeks of extra drama. He then moves on to the incident that happened while he was on vacation in his birth country. Wanting to socialize, he invited one of his old friends out for dinner. The friend inquired whether he could bring three women and another man that he was friends with and the individual agreed. |
| He also suggested a spot they could all go to hang out once dinner was done, as he had made reservations there. The individual also decided on the restaurant, which everyone agreed to. All the people reached the spot and had a fun time ordering food and talking. But it was all about to change. He writes, “The bill came. It was $825.” His friend was okay with splitting the bill, but others were not. |

Woman discovers she’s been paying utility bills for her entire apartment building for the last 2 years
|
|
|
| The cost of living has been increasing and everything from electricity to restaurant food has become expensive. However, that does not mean it has gone so high that one person has to pay about $400 for utilities. A woman, who goes by the name @vapestar69 on TikTok, shared that she recently was shocked to find out that she has been paying utility charges for the whole building for two years. |
| “So I just found out that I have been paying utility bills for my entire apartment building since December 2021. I’ve been paying for everyone’s heating, laundry and lights for two f****ng years. And I called them when it was expensive and be like, this seems really expensive and they were like, that’s how much it is and finally we figured it out because my ex who moved out never canceled their service even when I asked them to like 10 million times,” the woman shared frustration in her viral video. |

| The video has garnered over 5 million views and is captioned, “I just thought that the cost of living was that high.” People were quite shocked after getting to know about this. @faris125 commented, “So none of the other people were like, ‘Hey, why don’t I have any utilities to pay?'” @deleted101_32 shared, “As a person who works for a utility company, this can happen.” @n4ki4h said, “Sounds about right. I was in leasing and the average was about $80-100/month. We had one tenant paying $400+/month for 4 apartments.” @beyoncesearlobe expressed, “Oh, you need to sue them to high heaven, get free rent and a refund check.” |
