"This was obviously an error and we appreciate that Mr Reynolds understands this was the case," PayPal said in a statement to the BBC.

The online money-transfer firm said it would offer to make a donation to a charity of Mr Reynolds' choice.

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.

 

"Quite a big surprise" is a bit of an understatement

I saw that on the news yesterday El. Easy come easy go  

 Must have been a bit of a shock for him.

Heart attack stuff Yogi Rolling on the Floor Laughing emoticon [Laughing Emoticons)

Love that smiley.

World record for hottest place is Death Valley at 56° so your greenhouse isn't far off

I best stay out of it until it cools down! The tomatoes and peppers seem to be enjoying it though.

There were hundreds of them. I'm awfully glad I was round the side of my house and nobody could see me, because my face was like this.

It's still hot here. My bedroom is at the front of the house, which gets the evening sun. I've just been in there and it's like a sauna.

I get the morning sun in my bedroom so in the afternoon/evening it's round the back 

That's lucky.

If we hadn't turned our back bedroom into a baby room, I'd suggest to Mr Yogi that we move in there, as it's much cooler.
