The first billionaires to make their money on Bitcoin were twin brothers Cameron and Taylor Winklevoss.

The Winklevoss brothers bought 1% of the world's cryptocurrency supply in 2013 for $11 million. Today, the price of Bitcoin has increased almost a hundredfold.

The Winklevosses deliberately do not sell off cryptocurrency, explaining that their investment will be long-term. They considered and still consider Bitcoin to be “an improved version of gold.”

American businessmen and rowing athletes, the Winklevoss brothers are well known because of their legal battle with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. They accused him of stealing the concept of a social network from them. The media claim that the parties reached a settlement agreement and Mark Zuckerberg paid them $65 million.
