The Guy Who Woke Up With $92 Quadrillion in His Bank Account

For one glorious moment, Chris Reynolds was the richest man in history.

In July 2013, Pennsylvania resident Chris Reynolds opened his PayPal app and nearly fainted.

His account showed a balance of $92,233,720,368,547,800 — ninety-two quadrillion dollars.

That’s more than all the money on Earth.

He had officially out-earned Jeff Bezos, Musk, and every government combined.

Minutes later, the number disappeared — PayPal admitted it was a “technical glitch.”

They didn’t even offer him a free credit.

When reporters asked what he’d have done with the money, Chris said:

“First? Pay off my car. Then maybe buy PayPal.”
