ALBAWABA - A woman called Sophie Downing, from Nottingham, bought a cup of coffee and became the richest person in the history of the world.
The story of Downing, 29, started when she got a £10 ($13) coffee shop voucher for Christmas to find out that the balance on the gift card totalled over £63 quadrillion ($84.9 quadrillion).
A woman gained a coffee voucher, and when she went to get a matcha latte last week, she was shocked to find out she owns a $84.9 quadrillion voucher. This makes Sofie richer than American businessman Elon Musk, whose net worth reached over $850 billion.

However, the difference is that the woman is not literally a quadrillionaire, but it was just a mix-up on the till at 200 Degrees Coffee.
Downing told Nottinghamshire Live, "I thought it was really funny. I've never seen anything like that before."
A spokesperson to the coffee house explained, "The customer was only charged exactly what they should have been, and after they had completed their purchase, their gift card had exactly the right amount left on it, they just had a receipt which showed a very different amount, which the barista gave them as a souvenir."
