A French man who remains nameless was lucky enough to inherit a house in Normandy.

The new owner started to look through his property and noticed a small box with gold coins that was fastened to a chair. He found even more gold in a whiskey box. Later, the man discovered a huge pile of gold bars.

The total sum was almost $3.7 million. But due to French rules, the man had to pay an inheritance tax equal to 45% of his finding.
