The incident took place on a July day, 2013. At that time, this amount was greater than all the money recorded on the planet. In that moment, with a net worth of more than $92 trillion, Reynolds became the only "millionaire" on Earth. The richest people in the world like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos have "no door" compared to Reynolds because "only" own a fortune of several hundred billion dollars.

But after only 2 minutes, PayPal quickly detected the problem. Mr. Reynolds quickly "lost" the title of the richest billionaire in the world when PayPal returned his account balance to its true value: $0. At the same time, PayPal has also decided to donate some of the money to a charity chosen by Reynolds.

Mr. Reynolds shared that, when he first looked at the screen, he thought it was some million-dollar debt. When asked what he could use the money for, Reynolds said, "paying off the national debt," and bought the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team.

Very Reynolds did not use that money. Because there was once a couple who used up 120,000 USD when the wrong money was transferred. When asked by the bank they had no money left to return it. The police got involved and they had to pay back the money spent and were given 7 years' probation and 100 hours of community service.
