Default Sunflower, new variety?

Hi, thought it might be interesting that I have
a strange sunflower in by garden.

I planted the seeds a bit late, may-june, and since 2 weeks
week they finally started to develop a flower, which opened
last week.

Nice to see that there are still bees at this time of
year.

I planted 5 seeds, 4 of them developed normal, but the
fifth does not only have a flower on top, but also at
every branch, originating from the pit between the
branch for the leave and the main branch.

How does this score on the scale of rarities?

Also, I intend to harvest the seeds from this particular
'defective' sunflower, how do I do that the best way?

Last question, will I become a millionaire, with this
new variety?

If interested, I can provide some pictures.
