Hurricanes, fires and similar calamities would surely add to the already humongous Florida unclaimed money pile sitting in the Sunshine State’s Treasury Department. At present, there’s roughly a billion dollars worth of unclaimed property in Florida belonging to millions of citizens. Most of the people owed unclaimed funds aren’t aware they have money waiting for them- reason why the money is fast piling-up.


According to Brendan Farrington of the Associated Press, “there are 7 million unclaimed accounts owed to 4 million Floridians.” You’d be surprised at who’s on the Treasurer’s list of people owed unclaimed money in Florida- NBA star Alonzo Mourning, Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band, Terry “the Hulkster” Hogan, and actors Burt Reynolds and Wesley Snipes are just some of the famous names that appear on the Florida unclaimed money list.
