A millionaire who made his fortune in tech allegedly offered $100,000 to a woman sitting next to him to remove her mask and has been labelled a "creep".
Steve Kirsch, named as the inventor of the optical mouse, said on Twitter that he was then shocked when the female passenger refused to do so, despite apparently being offered the princely sum, The Mirror reports.
Describing the bizarre encounter online, he wrote: “I am on board a Delta flight right now. The person sitting next to me in first class refused $100,000 to remove her mask for the entire flight. No joke. This was after I explained they don’t work."
