Millionaire throws money paper planes at passersby

5/30/2012

It'd sure be nice to have so much money you can literally afford to toss it out the window. Russian millionaire Pavel Durov reportedly spent last weekend flying paper airplanes made from 5,000-ruble notes (equal to about $160) out the window of his office in St. Petersburg. The 27-year-old gave away around $2,000 before he stopped because "people turned into animals" grabbing the cash. Durov is the CEO of Russia's largest social network Vkontakte, which sort of makes him the Russki Mark Zuckerberg. He's worth an estimated $260 million, so he can let loose a lot more airplanes before he has to worry about denting his fortune.
