Mighty powerful...........
One of the richest and most powerful men in Brazil, Thane Chiquinho Scarpa, announced plans to bury his million-dollar Bentley, so he could drive around his afterlife in style. He received lots of media attention, mostly negative and was severely criticized for the extravagant gesture and wasting of a precious commodity. Why wouldn’t he donate the car to charity? How out of touch with reality is this guy? were some of the questions!
But, there’s a twist.
Moments before lowering the car in the ground prepared for the burial of his Bentley, he declared he wouldn't bury his car and then revealed his motive for the drama: Just to create awareness for organ donation.
“People condemn me because I wanted to bury a million dollar Bentley, in fact most people bury something a lot more valuable than my car,” Scarpa said during a speech at the ceremony. “They bury hearts, livers, lungs, eyes, kidneys. So many people waiting for a transplant and you bury your healthy organs that could save so many lives!”
