The poorest man in the world is Jérôme Kerviel 🌎
Jérôme Kerviel is perhaps the poorest man on the planet 📉 Strange kismet. He worked as a trader at the French Société Générale. He lost about 4.9 billion euros. An incredible amount. This money disappeared due to operations he conducted without permission.
In 2008, everything collapsed. The bank was on the brink of disaster 🔥 One of the loudest financial scandals ever. It seems almost impossible, but it happened. The man who dealt with billions every day is now a record holder for debt.
The Supreme Court of France later softened the sentence. It did not demand full compensation of 4.9 billion. The bank is also to blame - poor control. And yet, in 2025, Jérôme is still sinking in debts 💸 It is unlikely he will ever get out.
His story serves as a warning. The risk sometimes costs too much. Crossing the line may cost everything 🌕 It's hard to imagine such a fall.
