The lives of celebrities always attract the attention of fans outside the sports ring, film set or stage. Stars have long learned to benefit from advertising cosmetics and brand lines. However, Bitcoin investments have recently become a fashionable trend among celebrities.
Ashton Kutcher
Ashton has been with cryptocurrency since 2010. With his partner, Madonna's former manager, G. Oseary founded an investment firm that invested in various startups. In 2013, her partners invested in a payment system that accepts Bitcoin cryptocurrency, BitPay. In recent years, the investment has paid off handsomely and Ashton has become one of the richest actors in Hollywood.
Mike Tyson
The legend of the boxing world feels free and confident in the cryptocurrency space. In 2015, Mike partnered with Bitcoin Direct to install hundreds of Bitcoin ATMs. Six months later, Tyson released his branded wallet for iOS and Android, a mobile trader’s assistant that allows you to trade on the cryptocurrency market without getting up from your chair, through the Gildera crypto exchange.
James Rodriguez
