When assessing the status, the opacity of transactions with digital currencies and high volatility were taken into account. In addition, when forming the list itself, the insecurity of cryptocurrency was taken into account. After all, no one can deny the fact that exchanges are hacked very often.
The leader in the ranking is fintech entrepreneur and Ripple CEO Chris Larsen, who earned $7.5-8 billion from cryptocurrency transactions.
Second place is occupied by one of the founders of Ethereum, Joseph Lavin. His capital is estimated from $1 billion to $5 billion.
The founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, with a capital of $1.1 billion to $2 billion, is in third place in the ranking.
Having sued Mark Zuckerberg for $65 million for the idea of Facebook, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are in 4th place on the Forbes list. The brothers' fortune is estimated at $900 million -$1.1 billion.
In addition, other famous personalities of the cryptocurrency world can be found in the rating. Thus, Vitalik Buterin, who founded Ethereum, earned $400-500 million on cryptocurrency. The fortune of Bitfury founder Vitaly Vavilov is estimated at $500-700 million.
Since speed is very important in the cryptocurrency market, and you can either earn a million in one day or lose it within 10 minutes, the fortune of each businessman is indicated approximately.
