Man received $92 quadrillion USD from PayPal by accident

Man received $92 quadrillion USD from PayPal by accident

Haha, classic. Imagine checking your PayPal account to find you had accidentally been credited with more money than the world’s annual gross domestic product. That’s what happened to Pennsylvania’s Chris Reynolds, who buys and sells car parts online. Of course, there’s one major catch: Reynolds never technically was in possession of any of the accidentally credited funds. "I'm just feeling like a million bucks," Reynolds said when asked about the technical glitch . When Reynolds then went to check his actual funds available on the site, he saw the amount was, in fact, zero. PayPay hasn’t commented on the flub but Reynolds was quick to offer his thoughts on how he theoretically would spend the $92,233,720,368,547,800 that initially showed up in his account.

"I'm a very responsible guy," he said. "I would pay the national debt down first. Then I would buy the Phillies, if I could get a great price."

In a separate interview, Reynolds said he routinely exchanges about $100 a month through the site. And he joked that he made a “generous” $30 donation to a local Delaware County Council candidate after seeing the enormous PayPal statement.

"I was moved to be really generous by good fortune," he said.

To put the $92 quadrillion number in perspective, it’s 1,300 times greater than the world’s annual gross domestic product of $71.83 trillion.

Reynolds, 56, told the International Business Times that he received a notice from PayPal the next day asking him to verify his credit card information.

"The sad part is that I got word that they still need me to renew the credit card that's attached to this account," he said. "So, even though I have 90 quadrillion dollars, they still don't trust me."

I bet the man looked like this, very smug, once he noticed the money ..

$92 quadrillion sounds like a nice sum of money. I would upgrade my PC (the most important thing ofc), then buy few new motorcycles, few cars and a house, or a few... + Some other important stuff, like a donkey for Mr.Bigtime. :)

Man with 92 quadrillion dollars you could do anything. Heh what is funny is that you would be richer than any veteran professional athlete. Or any politician for that matter.

I would make a pc system where you upgrade pc by installing aditional cpu and gpu and hdd, instead of replacing them, so in 10 years people would have same computer with as litle as 5cpu 1gpu or 20cpu + 20gpu.. :D

I bet with that kind of money if you chose to assist the government it is a very good possibility to be come tax exempt.
