Source: Reddit
Called the "Bulgarian Rockefeller," he was the first billionaire in Bulgaria. He was born in a village near Gabrovo and went from being a poor boy to a billionaire through trading, banking, and more. Two years before his death, he made out his will stating he wanted his mansion to become a retirement home and two other buildings he had to be girls' boarding schools. One of them was for the poor girls free of charge and the other was for the wealthy girls with small taxes to be charged. Unfortunately, when he passed away in 1945, his wishes were not carried out. All of the resources for his charity purposes were blocked by the government and the mansion was used for an infectious tuberculosis ward.
