FAKE NEWS<\/h2>\n

A simple reverse-image search reveals that the man lying in a casket adorning gold jewellery was not the richest man in Kuwait but a millionaire real estate mogul from Trinidad and Tobago, Sheron Sukhedo. According to\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>he was gunned down in March 2018. He was laid to rest in a gold casket with his wealth – gold pendants and jewellery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Metro<\/a>, <\/em>the jewellery was worth $100,000.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, according to a March 5, 2019 article in\u00a0Forbes<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the richest man in Kuwait is Kutayba Alghanim, the chairman of Alghanim Industries. His world ranking is 1,605.<\/p>\n

Bentley burial<\/h3>\n

The image of a car lowered into a grave is from 2013 when it was reported<\/a> that a Brazillian businessman, inspired by the Pharaohs of Egypt, decided to bury his Bentley Continental. However, it was later claimed that this was a stunt to promote organ donation. “It’s absurd to bury something much more valuable than a Bentley: your organs,”<\/em> the businessman was reported<\/a> stating.<\/p>\n

While there are several other pictures shared with the image of a man laid to rest with gold jewellery, it is evident that the accompanying claim is false.
