Most of us dream of winning the lottery or becoming a millionaire somehow, but what if that dream came true and you ended up with not millions or billions, but trillions of dollars in your account?
One such incident happened in America in which a middle class citizen became the quadrillionaire in human history for a very short moment but lost all this wealth just 2 minutes later.
Chris Reynolds from Delaware County opened his PayPal account one day in July 2013 to see how much money was left in the account, but he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that he had $92,233,720,368,547,800 in his account.
When various news agencies reported this incident, they revealed that Chris Reynolds has become a million times richer than the Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, who was the richest man in the world at the time, and his total wealth is 67 billion dollars. was
“At first I thought maybe someone was joking,” Chris told CNN. Unfortunately, it all came to an end when PayPal quickly realized their mistake and apologized to Reynolds for the ‘inconvenience’ they caused and corrected the error.
PayPal offered to donate some money to a charity of Chris’s choice as compensation. “We are honored to join Chris’ cause of donation,” the organization said in a statement.
The agency also stated that we have reached out to Chris to make this offer and that we are grateful to have him as a customer.
