Two brothers living in a cave in Hungary said their fortunes have dramatically reversed with a USD 7bn inheritance from a long-lost grandmother.

Brothers Zsolt and Geza Peladi, who live in a cave outside Budapest and make money selling junk found in the street, said charity workers contacted them to inform them that they and a sister who lives in the United States are inheriting a USD 7bn fortune from a grandmother who recently died in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.
