PayPal Makes Man a Quadrillionaire by Accident

How often do you hear the word quadrillion when referring to money? Probably never, considering one Pennsylvania man was the first to ever be one, albeit very briefly.

Chris Reynolds of Media, PA logged on to his PayPal account this month to discover he had been credited the ridiculous amount of $92,233,720,368,547,800. Reynolds was understandably shocked, but it was short lived. He logged on again a little bit later and found his balance had been reverted to zero.

PayPal adrdressed the error, telling the BBC, "This was obviously an error and we appreciate that Mr. Reynolds understands this was the case."

Had the balance been a correct one, Reynolds reveals he would have used the money to "pay the national debt down. Then I would buy the Phillies, if I could get a great price."
