The next story that caught everyone's attention was about a French billionaire who was challenged to a fight by a keyboard warrior. The billionaire, Xavier Niel, owner of Free telecoms group, was provoked by a dissatisfied customer who blamed him for ruining his game of Call of Duty due to slow internet speed. The customer, known as Fuego 7, posted on social media, expressing his hatred towards Mr. Niel and challenging him to a one-on-one outside the local Lidl store in Marseille.
In response, Mr. Niel posted a video on his social media, filmed at the Lidl store, shouting, "I'm here! I'm waiting for you!" It was quite a daring move by the 57-year-old billionaire, who is known as one of France's richest men. The video quickly went viral, with many eagerly waiting for the outcome of this unexpected confrontation.
However, Fuego 7 declined the invitation, citing health reasons. He replied to Mr. Niel's post, saying, "I would have liked to, but I'm not feeling well today. Sorry, I give up." It seemed like the keyboard warrior was not as brave in person as he was online.
Despite Fuego 7's decline, Mr. Niel's response to the troll's offer of a fight when he happened to be in town was quite commendable. The Lidl supermarket, where the supposed fight was supposed to take place, also joined in on the fun. They posted on social media, "Please come and get the gentleman who has been tweeting since this morning in front of the store on Rue Sainte in Marseille." It was clear that everyone was enjoying this entertaining exchange between the billionaire and the keyboard warrior.
Mr. Niel, who was in Marseille for an AI conference, has telecom investments in nine European countries and has over 50 million active subscribers. He is also married to Delphine Arnault, the chief executive of Dior and executive vice president at Louis Vuitton. Her father is none other than multi-billionaire Bernard Arnault, known as one of the world's richest men. It seemed like the billionaire was not one to back down from a challenge, whether it was online or in person.
