A disabled beggar who lived on handouts in Lebanon died a millionaire.
Police were shocked to discover that Fatima Othman, 52, had accumulated a small fortune while begging on the streets in the capital Beirut.
Officers discovered her body in an abandoned car in the city's Barbir district and two bags containing five million LBP ($3,300) in cash.
And the frugal beggar had also stashed away 1.7 billion LBP ($1.1 million) in a savings account - which was uncovered after police found her deposit book for a local bank.
Police spokesman Joseph Musallem said Ms Othman died from a heart attack and her death was not being treated as suspicious.
But he said it was 'a big surprise' to discover that she had amassed such a fortune.
Ms Othman was unable to use her hands and feet after suffering devastating injuries during the Lebanese Civil War, locals report.
She became a local celebrity after a picture of her being fed water by a Lebanese soldier went viral online.
The soldier was praised by his commander for showing 'compassion and humanity'.
Police tracked down Ms Othman's family to the town of Ain Al-Zahab in Akkar, northern Lebanon, and they have now buried her body.
They were equally dumbstruck when they discovered how wealthy she was.

In memory of her click here : https://aprokogirl.com/7501/disabled-lebanese-beggar-dies-a-millionaire-see-pictures-story/

Who owns the money now??

Unfortunately, even those who gave her money can't ask for a refund.

See as oyibo people carry hand gloves dey touch the money. If na naija na their bare hands them for use. Our mentality is a game changer. RIP woman. Sad you didn't enjoy the fruits of your labour

Sound funny, with such accumulated amount of money she still begged till her death. People can be funny some times.

Am not surprised ooo... I stopped giving my hard earned money to beggers when I saw two beggers eating... Omo about 5 gigantic meat in each of their plates and then I have not encountered more than one obstacle in my food... Very soon "the EVANS" will start picking them cause most of them may be "potential customers" one popular one in the Benin highway has built a gigantic building,well fitted yet begging hasn't left her system... With that huge money why can't they set up an investment?

Sometimes is good to enjoy your money when you're still alive, cause your don't know when death will come. This one beg for years, save millions thinking after retirement she will go and peacefully enjoy her pension.


Rip

The Lebanese people must be very generous for a beggar there to amass over a million dollars in her lifetime of just 52 years.

This is never possible in Nigeria where the few people that give to beggars give away 10 or 20 naira. Those who give more than that in Nigeria will take selfies while giving such and post it on social media.

Quite a huge sum. unfortunately she won't be there to enjoy it



Investment is now the key

really

she can't help others too, she keep stocking the money till she die

too bad

Who was she saving it for at the expense of a poor living standard?

Lol.. beggar go always remain beggar.. being a beggar is a mindset

She was a very selfish thief stealing from the needy

She must have been begging in rich estates and areas

Reason I don't give beggars alms, some of them are even richer than you

hmm...he died to beg no more


On the Jollof rice matter!! Today I saw a nice looking Jollof rice on the internet cook by a Yoruba women, I only try to zoom it pepper enter my eye.

Rip

Not surprised though.

I have seen obviously disabled beggars build houses and living fine in Naija.

Doesn't take away the pity. I'd rather give God the glory for being whole and hopeful than be a pathetic disabled begging millionaire.

heart touching.

eyahh.

My Question Is. Who Will Spend The Money Now?
The Government Charity Organisation Or Her Family

naija police wouldn't mind 'waking her up' to get her PIN and then she can die again .....I swear SARS fit do am......meanwhile that first $3,300 go first enter voicemail........but the woman sef! so she had that kind of money and yet couldn't buy prosthetic limbs and live in a decent house.....chai!!! Queen Miserly

Not surprised as someone with such disability who wasn't even born that way and must have seen the vanity in life would likely amass such wealth for probably her kids/siblings, who have a better chance of utilising it.
She might have waited that long (even till death)so that the family would see as an accomplished woman and not some cast away/reject as they might have perceived her to be

Macnnoli4:
She must have been begging in rich estates and areas

It's an addiction most of them are rich
The one who died few years ago in Saudi Arab is far richer than this one

$1.1Million hmmm. I hope she wasn't being used to hide such amount.

who owns the car? how did she get there?

Nairaland has been boring since Friday, dear mods do the needful and push more interesting topic to front page.
