As if it were a stroke of luck or the best day of his life, a family man ended up with 50,000 million dollars in his bank account and his wife was the one who informed him of the fact. Obviously surprised, Darren James felt that he had become a millionaire overnight.
The father of two, originally from Louisiana, did not have many financial problems, however, he did not enjoy a large amount of money either, so receiving so much money unexpectedly and without explanation is something that few expect.
James temporarily became the 25th richest man in the world, so it is unlikely that he, his children or grandchildren will have to worry about money for a long time.
The real estate agent could not believe what he was seeing reflected in his account, according to information shared by the dailystar.
“It was crazy to see it, because I had never seen so many zeros together in my life. Where did that come from? she also told FOX9 in an interview after the mix-up in June 2021.
While many other people were able to take advantage of the situation and spend the money on a mansion, a car or different types of properties, he decided to do the right thing and immediately tried to return the fortune to its rightful owner.
“We knew it wasn’t ours. We did not earn it with our work, so we decided to do the right thing », he acknowledged.
As he weighed all his options, he knew immediately that keeping the money would sooner or later be considered theft.
For its part, the bank almost immediately realized the error and began working to recover the funds it had sent to the wrong person. In just a few days, everything was gone from his account and Darren became a normal, everyday citizen.
After his story went viral, many netizens began to question him about what he would have done if he kept those 50 billion and he replied as follows:
“I would bless other people, to give them hope that there is something positive in this world. That is my biggest dream », she stressed.
