Twenty-seven-year-old Russian millionaire Pavel Durov has earned himself plenty of new critics today after it was reported the mogul threw "paper planes" made of money from the windows of his St. Petersburg office into a growing crowd of pedestrians¹ below.

27岁的俄罗斯百万富翁巴维尔•杜罗夫近日突然从其圣彼得堡的办公室窗口向街上行人撒下用钱折成的“纸飞机”，引起越来越多的路人哄抢，招致非议。

Durov is the CEO of Vkontakte, or "In Contact," Russia's most popular social networking site and considered that country's equivalent to Facebook.

RT.com reports that a growing crowd amassed²（积累） to collect the 5,000-ruble notes, which are worth about $160 each. However, while Durov reportedly appeared amused by the crowd, he stopped throwing the cash planes from his office window after some spectators appeared to turn violent.

According to RT, Durov took to his Twitter account, writing, "We had to stop soon, though, as people turned into animals."

Still, Durov apparently³ neglected to take personal responsibility for the response and even promised that "definitely, more such actions are to follow."

At the end of the day, Durov, who is worth an estimated $260 million, apparently tossed down（随意扔下） only about $2,000 in cash to the crowd.

This isn't the first unusual public stunt⁴（噱头） by Durov. He recently published a political manifesto⁵ that included his ideas on how to improve Russia's economy. According to Business Insider, two of those ideas include abolishing Russia's national currency and allowing foreign interests to purchase state land.
