Josua Hutagalung really became a millionaire, without having to leave his house – and no, it wasn’t with Day Trade.
The Indonesian man was making coffins, as he always did, when a meteorite weighing about 2 kilos fell on his house.
There are reports that this rock from space is more than 4 million years old and the price of a gram of a meteorite like this can cost up to
R$ 10 million.
According to a report in The Sun, Josua Hutagalung sold the meteorite and never had to worry about work again.
A collector in the United States, whose identity has not been revealed, was the one who bought the rock with the aim of sending it to the Center for Meteorite Studies at Arizona State University.
Scholars believe that a meteorite may contain amino acids that provide information about the formation of life and this makes this stellar fragment so expensive.
