Bizarre moment French billionaire films himself picking a fight - in Lidl car park

An enraged billionaire reportedly showed up at a Lidl car park to confront an online troll as he filmed himself.

Xavier Niel is a prominent French billionaire entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. Mr Niel was seen screaming "I'm here! I'm waiting for you" while responding on a post that called him for a "one-against-one" fight outside the store in Marseille, reports .

The French entrepreneur was challenged by an X/Twitter user who wrote in a post: "Xavier Niel I hate you I propose a one-v-one in front of the Lidl on Rue Sainte in Marseille."

The user reported experiencing extremely slow internet speeds on Niel's Free internet service, which disrupted their ability to play Call of Duty, a first-person shooter game that relies on a stable internet connection.

Mr. Niel, who was in Marseille for a conference on artificial intelligence, shared a video addressing the situation.

Recording a video while standing outside Lidl store, Mr Niel wrote: "I'm here! I'm waiting for you!

"Where are you, come on! Do you want to meet in the car park?"

Fuego 7 then responded to Mr Niel on X, declining the billionaire's offer of a brawl.

Writing in capitals, the social media user said: "No sorry I was joking," before adding: "I would have liked to but 34.2 temperature plus stomach ache plus headache sorry I give up."

Lidl's social media team also joined in with the exchange, posting: "Please come and get the gentleman who has been tweeting since this morning in front of the store on Rue Sainte in Marseille."
