We never would’ve thought in a million years we’d be alive to see the first quadrillionaire. We were wrong! That’s right, an American man recently became the first person in the history of mankind to become a quadrillionaire. How did he amass such a fortune? An oil tycoon? Technology whiz? Big Pharma mogul? Nope, none of those. You’ll never guess how this man accumulated such riches… and very quickly lost it all. That’s right, you must hear this historic story! If you had a quadrillion dollars, what’s the first thing you would do? You should genuinely pray it’s not the same thing Crisco would do! Listeners very quickly pounced on him.

This extraordinary event occurred in July 2013 when Chris Reynolds opened his PayPal account to discover an eye-watering $92 quadrillion, or $92,233,720,368,547,800 (139.48 Quintillion Naira) to be precise.
A quadrillion looks like this: 1,000,000,000,000,000. That is a 1 with 15 zeroes. That is also 1 billion sets of 1 million dollars. If you “sold off” Earth and it's contents you would gross $5 quadrillion dollars.
I think you get the gist of it. The next step above trillion is quadrillion, then quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion. Going by convention, the level above trillionaire is quadrillionaire.
Elon Musk is on pace to become the world's first trillionaire. And that club could grow quickly over the next 10 years. There are, at present, no trillionaires on planet Earth, but that could change in the next two years, according to a new report from wealth-tracking service Informa Connect.
