Hidden Cash is the Twitter handle of an anonymous person who is leaving stashes of cash in public places in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In a recent email exchange, the person said he had made “millions of dollars” in the San Francisco real estate market and was looking for a way to give back. (He also said he gives to a variety of charities.) The person says he intends to stash cash once or twice a week and has no plans to stop. Clues are posted on the Twitter account.
“I’ve made millions of dollars the last few years, more than I ever imagined, and yet many friends of mine, and people who work for me, cannot afford to buy a modest home in the Bay Area,” the person wrote in the email. “This has caused me quite a bit of reflection. I am determined to give away some of the money I make, and in addition to charity, to do it in fun, creative ways like this.”

I am not sure how I feel about this; I realise it is well intended and meant to be a fun thing too, and he does state that he also gives to charity but the poorest of people will not have twitter accounts or iphones…..

Now, that’s what I call a real person; a real human being who cares. He could just go on enjoying his money, but his decision to “spread the wealth” is extremely generous. I am wondering about his giving clues on his Twitter account, though.
