July 17 (USA ) - PayPal Inc, a major online money-transfer company, has accidentally credited a man in Delaware, USA with $92,233,720,368,547,800, making him by far the richest man in the world. Thats N 14,895,745,839,520,500,000 paid into the man's account at exchange rate of 161.50




Chris Reynolds, 56, said he was shocked when he received his monthly statement via e-mail from PayPal last week, with an ending balance of $92 quadrillion, over a million times richer than the world's richest man, Carlos Slim.




The fortune of Slim, a Mexican telecommunications mogul, would pale in comparison at a mere $73 billion.






"I'm just feeling like a million bucks," Reynolds was quoted as saying by the Philadelphia Daily News. "At first I thought that I owed quadrillions. It was quite a big surprise." He also said that if the money was real, he help pay down the national debt of USA using the money.







Paypal Inc. acknowledged that this was an error and has offered to donate an unspecified amount to a cause of Reynold's choice.
