Jeffrey Gault, who died in June at age 82, left $3.8 million to the city of Ginsdale.
Jeffrey Gault, who worked as a caretaker for a mobile home camp in Ginsdale, New Hampshire, bequeathed nearly $4 million to the city, the AP reported.
In particular, the city residents can only see the man, who is actually a millionaire, in dirty clothes. He always does ordinary things and doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Gault also had a part-time job, but rarely traveled out of the city.
Despite the fact that the American taught driving to high school students, he himself refused to get behind the wheel of a car. Instead, he chose a bicycle and, over the years, a lawnmower. His mobile home in the park was barely furnished – no TV, no computer.
Earlier this year, Geoffrey Gault died and it was learned that he left a large sum of money to the city.
His will contained brief instructions to give $3.8 million to the City of Ginsdale for community benefits in the areas of education, health, recreation and culture.
“I don’t think anyone could have imagined that he would be so successful. I know he doesn’t have many relatives, but to leave everything in the city where he lives… What a gift.” said Steve Diorio, head of the city’s Board of Selectmen.
Gault’s best friend, Smith, a former state legislator who became the executor of his estate, learned of his fortune years ago.
He knew his friend, who died in June aged 82, had various interests, such as collecting toy cars and trains. He also collected history books, with Henry Ford and World War II among his favorite subjects. Gault also has an extensive record collection, including Handel and Mozart.
Smith also knew that Gault, who had previously worked as a production manager at the mill, had earned good money, which he then invested in several funds.
Jeffrey admits to Smith that his investments are doing better than he expected and he doesn’t know what to do with the money. He suggested that she think about the city.
“I was a little shocked when I found out that all the money went to the city,” he said.
It was previously reported that Bruce Willis rewrote his will for a $250 million inheritance.
