Imagine Finding R90 Million In A Box [Images]

Can you actually picture what R90million looks like in cash? This guy could, because he was hiding it all in an, admittedly rather large, wooden box in his flat...

You see it on cop shows but when an actual stash of this size is found it makes you wander where people get THAT much cold, hard cash.

$8.5million, the equivalent of  about £5million, was found by the crew stuffed in a wooden box hidden in the apartment in Silvertown, east London.

The apartment is located in Wards Wharf – a collection of luxury new-builds in London’s Docklands – and is close to London City Airport.

The TV crew who recorded this moment apparently followed bailiffs to the flat while filming a new series for the UK’s Channel Five (about bailiffs, funnily enough).  The bailiffs were at the flat carrying out an unrelated warrant when the cash was discovered.

Unlucky, guy.
