Imagine checking your bank account on payday to see if your salary has been credited when all of a sudden you discover a massive amount has been added to your account. And how will you react if you find out that you have been paid manifold? Doesn’t this sound like a dream? But this has actually happened to a man in Chile who was reportedly paid 286 times his salary by the company last month.

The man, whose monthly salary is 500,000 Chilean pesos (roughly Rs 43,000), was accidentally paid 165,398,851 pesos (roughly Rs 1.42 crore) in May this year. But when the matter came to light, the man claimed that he would return the excess amount to the company. However, he resigned and took the money with him. According to the reports, the man worked at Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos, or Cial, which also happens to be one of the largest producers of cold cuts in Chile.
