Two penniless brothers who live in a cave outside Budapest are to inherit some $10 billion after a twist in their family fortunes.

A British newspaper is reporting that Zsolt and Geza Peladi have been eking out an existence by selling junk they find in the street.

But, that is all about to change after the grandmother they have never met died in Germany.

Geza Peladi says they knew their mother came from a wealthy family, but she had severed all ties with them.

Under German law the brothers will inherit the entire estate as they are the closest surviving family members.
