Dollar rain: thousands of bills scattered from a helicopter in Detroit in memory of a local philanthropist

An unusual farewell to entrepreneur and public figure Darrell Thomas took place in Detroit, where thousands of dollar bills were dropped from a helicopter according to his will, reports Mothership. The businessman chose this original way to express his gratitude to his hometown and neighbors who supported him during his lifetime.

The deceased's niece, Crystal Perry, told a local TV channel that this action was a special "thank you" to everyone who played an important role in her uncle's life. Thomas's son, known by the nickname "Smoke," actively participated in organizing this unusual event, emphasizing his father's outstanding qualities.

"Detroit, you all may not know who my father was, but he was a great father. Among his community, he was a legend," he shared.

Lisa Knife, an employee at a local auto repair shop, witnessed this amazing spectacle. She noted that despite the money falling from the sky, the atmosphere remained surprisingly calm and solemn.

"There were no fights, nothing like that. It was really beautiful," she emphasized.
