Twenty-seven-year-old Russian millionaire Pavel Durov has earned himself plenty of new critics today after it was reported the mogul threw "paper planes" made of money from the windows of his St. Petersburg office into a growing crowd of pedestrians below.
Durov is the CEO of Vkontakte, or "In Contact," Russia's most popular social networking site and considered that country's equivalent to Facebook.
RT.com reports that a growing crowd amassed to collect the 5,000-ruble notes, which are worth about $160 each. However, while Durov reportedly appeared amused by the crowd, he stopped throwing the cash planes from his office window after some spectators appeared to turn violent.
According to RT, Durov took to his Twitter account, writing, "We had to stop soon, though, as people turned into animals."
Still, Durov apparently neglected to take personal responsibility for the response and even promised that "definitely, more such actions are to follow."
At the end of the day, Durov, who is worth an estimated $260 million, apparently tossed down only about $2,000 in cash to the crowd.
This isn't the first unusual public stunt by Durov. He recently published a political manifesto that included his ideas on how to improve Russia's economy. According to Business Insider, two of those ideas include abolishing Russia's national currency and allowing foreign interests to purchase state land.
27岁的俄罗斯百万富翁巴维尔•杜罗夫近日突然从其圣彼得堡的办公室窗口向街上行人撒下用钱折成的“纸飞机”,引起越来越多的路人哄抢,招致非议。
杜罗夫是俄罗斯最受欢迎的社交网站 “接触网”的创始人,该网站被称为俄版Facebook。
据“今日俄罗斯”网站报道,杜罗夫向窗下扔去的是每张面值为五千卢布(合160美元)的纸币,越来越多的路人赶来争抢。当时他躲在窗口后哈哈大笑,但在人们为了抢钱引发暴力行为后,他就不再向窗下扔钱了。
据该网站报道,他随后在推特上写道,“我们不得不很快停下来,因为人们都变成了动物。”
但他似乎并不想为人们的哄抢行为承担个人责任,甚至保证“今后肯定会有更多类似行为”。
杜罗夫身家大概有2.6亿美元,但看起来当天他总共只向窗下扔了两千美元现金。
这不是他第一次公开制造噱头了。他刚刚公布了自己的政治宣言,其中谈到了如何推进俄罗斯经济发展。根据《商业内参》的报道,他在其中提到了两条举措,分别是废除卢布和允许外资购买俄罗斯土地。
