Today, we are here to help you do just that with the help of a very special riddle that is much harder than it looks at first sight. Take a look!
As you can see, the text of the riddle reveals that Mary has five dollars while John has two dollars less than her. Your job is to find out who has the most money.
Sounds easy? Think again!
If you’re already sure that the correct answer is Mary, we have to tell you that you’ve got it all wrong. Try again, before checking out the solution below!
While Mary indeed has more money than John, this isn’t the correct answer.
If you’re getting confused, get ready for a big shock. The correct response is Jeff! Jeff has the most money.
Okay, okay, here’s an explanation. The riddle is not asking you who among Mary and John has the most money. It is simply asking you who has the most money.
To get to the right answer, you have to find out who the richest person in the world is because they have the most money and are definitely richer than John and Mary.
As of this writing, that is Jeff Bezos! The multi-billionaire founder of Amazon ranked number 1 in the 2021 World’s Billionaires List by Forbes.
Though the answer to this riddle may change in time, Mary and John are not likely to come anywhere near that spot anytime soon.
