French Woman Receives $14.92 Thousand Trillion Phone Bill!

If you thought the Carmel was shocked her $32,000 electricity bill, imagine how French woman Solenne San Jose must have felt when she received a phone bill for 11,721,000,000,000,000 euros ($14.92 thousand trillion) ?

Even more alarming was when she was made aware that the amount could not be stopped from being debited from her bank account. Bouygues Telecom put it down to a printing error and subsequent ‘misunderstanding’. A misunderstanding that, had it gone unnoticed (and providing Solenne had the money) would have accrued the Phone company 216 times the world’s GDP. It was probably the first time anyone has been relieved they didn’t have all the money in the world.

So next time you receive a bill (take a seat), and if you think it may be a bit out, spare a thought for Solenne!
