In July 2013, Chris Reynolds of Media, Pennsylvania, opened his monthly PayPal statement to find a staggering balance of $92,233,720,368,547,800. The mind-boggling 92 quadrillion dollars was over a million times the fortune of the world's richest person and dwarfed the entire global economy. Reynolds, who typically brought in under $1,000 selling vintage car parts on eBay, was left stunned.
However, a hilarious detail is often overlooked: the balance was actually negative. For a few brief minutes, Reynolds was technically the most indebted individual on Earth rather than the wealthiest.
PayPal corrected the glitch within minutes, apologized, and offered a donation to a charity of his choice. When asked what he would have done if the quadrillions were real, Reynolds joked that he would pay off the US national debt and buy the Phillies. What would you do with $92 quadrillion for five minutes?
