According to CNN
report: Pennsylvania man gets a PayPal statement saying his account
contains $92,233,720,368,547,800. "This is obviously an error and we
appreciate that Mr. Reynolds understood this was the case," PayPal said in
a statement.
When Chris Reynolds opened his
June PayPal e-mail statement, something was off.
The Pennsylvania PR
executive's account balance had swelled to a whopping $92,233,720,368,547,800.
That's $92 QUADRILLION (and
change).
Money that would make Reynolds
-- who also sells auto parts on eBay in his spare time -- the richest man in
the world by a long shot.
Rich, as in more than a
million times richer than Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim. And he's worth $67
billion.
Oh, if only.
"It's a curious thing. I
don't know, maybe someone was having fun," Reynolds said.
So he logged online, and
reality bit back. His account balance read $0. The correct amount.
PayPal admitted the error and
offered to donate an unspecified amount of money to a cause of Reynolds'
choice.
