Who needed the most zeros to express his wealth?
I assume this would be a rich man in a country with severe hyperinflation.

Most likely some in Germany in the late 1920s.

Or possibly someone in Turkey before they reformed their currency. It used to cost 2,300,000 Lira in Turkey for a cup of coffee.

I'd expect the really rich to avoid a bombed out currency like the plague.

So it comes down to finding who was the world's richest man in 1995 (Sultan of Brunei?) and then expressing their wealth in the Yugoslav dinars of the time.

I was thinking of a resident in the country with the hyperinflated money. As for moving out - you could aquire a lot of property if you had access to hard currency - some people in Germany in the 1920s apparently lived well on 1 foreign banknote - they ate in a restaurant & the proprietor never had enough money to make change then a few days later they could pay their IOU with money that was blowing around in the streets because it was not worth picking up.
