North Texas man gets 17-digit surprise on his credit-card statement A banking glitch turned a charge from Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck into a whopping 17-figure credit card charge. This is what it looks like: $23,148,855,308,184,500.00. Here’s how to say it: 23 quadrillion,148 trillion, 855 billion, 308 million, 184,000 and 500 dollars.
