Now this is just foolish…

Russian pensioner burns 20 kilos of cash in revenge on wife:

A pensioner from city of Pyatigorsk in southwestern Russia has burnt
down the apartment of his common law wife, where he used to keep about
three million rubles (at least $100,000), Interfax news agency reported.

[…] But a recent quarrel made him decide to destroy the stash to get back at his lover, who never even knew about the money.

No word, unfortunately, on the subject of their quarrel.
