This is the moment an influencer was filmed dropping wads of cash from a helicopter flying over a beach full of tourists.

Bel Ponciano tossed just over £1,500 in notes from the chopper to the cheering crowd below. The clip shows her boarding the helicopter before taking to the skies and flying over the busy beach. Sunbathers are seen running around in shock as banknotes flutter down from the sky.

Ponciano is seen grinning as she shoves wads of cash through the small window to the growing crowd of beachgoers. The sky rained money for visitors to Central Beach in Balne rio Cambori, located south of Sao Paulo in Brazil, yesterday morning.

The generous fitness influencer dropped a total of £1,553 (BRL 10,000) in cash to the crowd below. She threw banknotes of £3.10 (BRL 20), £7.75 (BRL 50), and £15.50 (BRL 100). The influencer posted the video on Instagram for her 100,000 followers.

She wrote: "Never give up on your dreams! Only God can stop you, nobody else! Next time, it will be from a rocket." The clip is going viral with nearly 50,000 views and hundreds of comments. One fan commented: "Well done warrior, success shines brightly, you are a good person."

Another said: "You can earn money as it falls from the air while taking a beautiful walk in our wonderful city!" Sara wrote: "Now every time I see a helicopter, I'll think it's you." Inaira remarked: "From out of nowhere, the diva Bel Ponciano attacks in style." Jadhe commented: "That was totally awesome."

This wasn't the first time Ponciano has thrown cash to members of the public this year. The influencer dropped banknotes from a building window in January. The following month, she chucked cash into the air from a supercar.
