Confirmed richest CMDR in the Milky Way?

Back at the start of January, a server bug gave about 50 commanders over 5 billion in credits. The money was taken back after a big backlash from the forum community.

Just because the client is 32 bit doesn't mean it can't handle 64 bit numbers.

The overall credit count is at least 64-bit, but there are(were?) 32-bit representations of certain things, e.g. module rebuy at one point, which resulting in "buying" things for -2Billion credits. I saw it once but just ignored it as I don't fudge around with exploits, but it was fixed pretty quickly. I suppose some people just bought/sold/bought/sold making 2^31 credits each time.
 
Does it really matter?
.
Even in real life there are people far richer than I am or ever will be
.
Those that have earned it I don't care and to be honest they have earned it by working damned hard and probably sacrificing some of there personal life to do so - so I wouldn't really want to swap with them
.
There are then those that have cheated and used underhand tactics to get whatthey have earned (bankers I am looking at you) who I have zero respect for in life and wouldn't want to be them anyway
.
So if there are those in elite dangerous who have earned more money than I - respect to you but I am quite happy with the time and effort I put into this game so I would want to swap my achievement for yours. there are those that have cheated and exploited to there position and I have no respect for them anyway
 
Started playing a month or so after the game went live. Sitting at just around 50 mill in the bank and 450 mill tied up in a conda. My grind has all but come to a stop and i'm playing other games at the moment. I'll become more active after "power play" drops. I also look forward to whatever is supposed to replace the Conda.

As others have pointed out though. Because of exploits and certain things that are right on the edge of an exploit (seeking luxuries and capital ship farming). It's really pointless to credit anyone with having the most beans. Because the person with the most credits didn't get it in an honest way.

That said, I know there are a few honest billionaires out there and I salute you.
 
I know of an exploiter that died around 40 times in an anaconda A grade where he was ramming people because he exploited his credits and said he can never run out
-
No point in reporting him as I know he's already had a ban and it got lifted pretty quick, so they arnt going to ban him for it
-
So the chances of the richest CMDRs with trillions being legit are absolute zero

I am reminded of the words attributed to an ancient Earth philosopher: "Money can't buy me love".

Ahh yes, I remember that as well. I believe he was a member of a group of performers of an archaic music called 'rock' and known as the Fab Four or the Beatles.
