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.
