In 2013, Brazilian billionaire Chiquinho Scarpa posted a social media message that he planned to bury his $500,000 Bentley limousine. He invited the country's major ** to broadcast live.
The reason was simple: he liked the car so much that he wanted to continue driving it after he died. He said that he was deeply influenced by the idea that the Egyptian pharaohs were buried with ** and other expensive items so that they could be used after death.
Needless to say, his statement generated a lot of discussion on social **, and people labeled him stupid, selfish, pathetic. He was called "Elm Head", "Big Head", and "Pig Brain".
Some agencies that charge expensive fees even offer free advice – donate to charity.
Next, when the day ** got there, he dug a big pit and put the car in the pit.
Please don't do it!People said.
The rich man responded, "Why?".My car, I do. ”
People continue to persuade: "It's a very expensive car. You can only ruin it by doing so. You can't take things into the next life. Our lives are all striped, and we can't take anything with us. ”
Ah, that's it!You also can't take your eyes, lungs, liver, and heart to the next life. If it is ridiculous to bury a car, then it is also ridiculous to bury a body, because organs save many lives. Nothing could be more valuable. Be an organ donor and bring your family along. ”
"Buried Alive" Bentley was actually a publicity campaign to promote organ donation. He collaborated with the Brazilian Society for Organ Transplantation to spread awareness of the cause, and his statement of "burying Bentley alive" was part of a campaign to encourage people to donate their organs.
The campaign was very successful, with a significant increase of 31 in the number of organ donations in Brazil5%。
It's all because of this man's crazy flaunting of his wealth. Hats off to him!
