MADRID, 18 Jul. (Portaltic / EP) –
owner PayPal account received an entry in your account in error 92 233 trillion (70,337 billion euros) by the U.S. company. A stratospheric figure has impressed this citizen of Pennsylvania (USA).
What’s better than waking up one day in the morning, check the mail and realize that you are the richest man in the world? This is what happened to Chris Reynolds, a user’s PayPal Pennsylvania. Without participating in any lottery, or any type of gambling, Reynolds discovered owning more than 92,000 trillion, an amount a million times greater than the wealth of the richest man in the world at present, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.
American public relations executive, who in his spare time selling auto parts on eBay, was shocked to find that much money in your PayPal account. Chris Reynolds thought at first that everything was a joke, like so made known in a statement to the U.S. television network CNN. In fact, confirmed the statement and at that time did not have the capital.
“If I had the money I would have paid the national debt,” he said, but also said that from the beginning I knew that this was an unreal figure. “I thought it was a funny thing, I dunno, maybe someone was having fun,” he told the U.S. television network. In these same statements, the inhabitant of the USA admitted that never in my life had gotten so much money from PayPal except a sale that was worth $ 1,000 (762 euros).
ecommerce company quickly apologized for the error through a statement. “This is obviously a mistake and appreciate that Mr. Reynolds understood that this was the case.” Also, PayPal has agreed to donate a sum of money to a charitable cause chosen by the citizen.
