If you're a resident or plan to visit San Francisco, then this information could make you very happy.

An anonymous millionaire is giving away money; many dozens of envelopes filled with varying quantities, some with $100 inside, can be found by the people of San Francisco, as long as they have a Twitter account.

The extravagant millionaire decided that it would be fun to give clues to users of the social network, which has caused a big stir among the hundreds of people who are paying attention to the updates from the @HiddenCash account.

The system is very simple, the user shares some clues and Twitter users have to follow them to find the envelopes with the message "@HiddenCash. Tweet it if you find it," the envelopes, naturally, contain a generous amount of dollars for those lucky enough to find them in parking lots, statues and other places around the city, reported USA Today.

"This is going to continue indefinitely. There's nothing commercial behind this. It's a social experiment. Our Twitter page will show people where the money is hidden, since last night and this is going to continue," wrote an anonymous person yesterday in an email sent to The Bold.

This is how it was revealed that the generous benefactor (or benefactors), who decided to remain anonymous, made a great deal of money in real state in the Bay Area and has worked as a volunteer for organizations such as the East Palo Kids Foundation and food banks such as SF Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank and Loaves and Fishes.


However, the anonymous millionaire assured that he's worried about the enormous inequality in income in the San Francisco Bay area, and this campaign is a lucid way to experiment a change in this situation.

"I've made millions of dollars in recent years, more than I ever imagined and, still, many of my friends and people who work for me don't have the luxury of buying a modest house in the Bay Area. This has caused me to think. I've decided to give away a part of the money I win, and besides charity, I want to do it in a creative and fun way like this," the benefactor told The Bold.
