BRAZILIAN BUSINESS MAN INSPIRED BY EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS, BURIES HIS BENTLEY
He has all the riches he could ever
dream for in this life. But to avoid any risk of missing out in the
afterlife, wealthy entrepreneur 'Count Scarpa' is burying his greatest
treasure - his new £310,000 Bentley convertible. In
a bizarre announcement on his Facebook page the 62-year-old declared
that he plans to do as the Pharaohs of Egypt did and take his riches
with him when he dies by burying them. He has entombed his brand new Bentley Continental worth over
£310,000 to make sure he has a comfortable journey into the ‘other
side’. The funeral ceremony was at
On Tuesday, in another photo,
sporting a pink tie, with his foot on a shovel, he stands in front of a
deep hole with his shining Bentley parked behind him and warns: 'For
those who doubt me, yesterday I already started making the hole in the
garden to bury my Bentley! By the end of the week I will bury it'
The self-made businessman, who has a degree in economics and is a black belt instructor and owner of the Institute Maruyama Aikido, a Japanese martial arts academy, explains that his decision to start storing up his treasures for the life beyond came after watching a programme on Ancient Egypt on Sunday.
'I was watching a documentary about the pharaohs of Egypt, very interesting. They buried his entire fortune to have a comfortable life "the other side"!' he says. His decision to bury his Bentley had received over 5680 likes and more than 6000 shares.
On Wednesday, a new photo appeared updating his plans and shows just how serious he is. He’s pictured operating an excavator, in a cream coloured suit and lime green tie. It looks like he’s spent quite a few hours digging the grave. In front of him is very deep hole with a huge pile of dirt beside it. On the same day he reveals that he’s appearing on a satirical talk show on Bandeirantes television, hosted by Danilo Gentili photographed with him, to talk about the funeral of his beloved Bentley.

With
no children to carry on the family name Scarpa says his cockatoo, which
is perched on his arm in the facebook picture showing him standing
beside his Bentley, is his offspring.
'This here is my "daughter",' he said in the interview with Caras. 'She is called Filomena Leopoldina Sofia Scarpa. She is six-months-old and is endangered,' he said. The white cockatoo – which even has her own business card - is one of the most expensive birds in the world costing around £14,000.
The Pharaohs were known for burying their beloved pets with them so they could enjoy their company in the afterlife. So far Scarpa hasn’t said whether he plans to do the same with Filomena.
