[Commander CMG]

As a regular PayPal customer, Chris Reynolds spends no more than $100 a month.

So when the 56-year-old checked his balance with the online money-transfer company recently, it was something of a surprise for him to be told he was a quadrillionaire - making him the world's richest man.

Mr Reynolds, from Delaware County, opened his monthly-statement by email on Friday to discover that his balance was a whopping $92,233,720,368,547,800.

Imagine finding that in your bank account! ...The lucky so and so even if it was a mistake, that would have felt good while it lasted

Mind you, finding a bank balance that big would have been enough to give anyone a heart attack!

The $92,233,720,368,547,800 statement had been "quite a big surprise", Mr Reynolds told the Philadelphia Daily News, which first reported the story.

I think I would be upset if this happened to me (the whole getting a lot of money, and then realizing it was an accident).
