Subject: Serbian hermit gives away inheritance fortune
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/23/16 at 6:58 am
A Serbian woman living as a hermit inherited almost a million Australian dollars ($703,000, £490,000) from her husband - only to give it all away.
Marija Zlatic, 86, lives in a mud hut in mountainous eastern Serbia and heard five years ago that her estranged husband, living in Australia, had died.
She tasked a neighbour with finding out more information in 2011, and learned of her fortune late last year.
Marija has since donated all the money to the community that looks after her.
"I don't need my money," she told the B92 website (in Serbian). "It's enough for me to have bread, water and wood so I can keep warm in winter.
"Where I am going soon I do not need money, so I gave it away. They need it more."
Marija told the website she and her husband, Momcilo, moved to Guildford in Western Australia in 1956.
