Who are the top 10 richest whales in bitcoin world. All these whales are very big very rich. Lets dive in.

It is only fair that we respect Satoshi Nakamotos ideology by ensuring that the world of cryptocurrency
is nothing but transparent by publishing a rich list of crypto-entrepreneurs.
Although it’s “virtually” impossible to ascertain the precise wealth of our crypto billionaires, not least
because of the anonymous nature of the underlying blockchain technology, as well as the extreme
pricing swings experienced on a daily basis, here are, according to Forbes, the 10 wealthiest people who
made their fortunes in the virtual economy.
10) In at number 10 is Michael Novogratz, the CEO of blockchain-asset merchant bank Galaxy Digital,
who is estimated to have a net crypto-wealth of between $700 million to $1 billion. Not bad for our
lowest entrant!
9) Next in our list is Brock Pierce, the Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation, who at just 37 years of age
has also acquired an estimated wealth of between $700 million to $1 billion.
8) A bit of a pattern is forming here, with our number 8 spot also accountable for a collective wealth of
between $700 million to $1 billion. The award goes to Anthony Di Iorio, the Co-founder of the Ethereum
blockchain, who also created a little known wallet called Jaxx.
7) In at number 7 is Matthew Roszak, the Co-founder of both Bloq and Tally Capital. Roszak’s net wealth
comes in at between $900 million to $1 billion.
6) Our 6 th richest crypto-entrepreneur is Brian Armstrong, founder and current CEO of Coinbase: With
Coinbase reporting more than $1 billion in revenue in 2017 alone, it is no surprise that Armstrong is
estimated to be worth between $900 million to $1 billion.
5) Next up is Matthew Mellon, the recently deceased private investor who originally made his money in
Bitcoin and then later switching to Ripple. It is estimated that Mellon was worth approximately $900
million to $1 billion.
4) Its double trouble for our number 4 spot, with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss estimated to be worth
between $900 million to $1.1 billion. Not content with their $65 million court settlement from Facebook
founder Mark Zuckerberg, they since put that money to good use by creating highly successful crypto-
exchange Gemini.
3) Things are starting to get serious now, with our number 3 entrant worth an estimated $1.1 billion to
$2 billion. The spot goes to Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, CEO and founder of Binance. According to most
recent figures, the hugely popular exchange made $200 million in Q1 2018 alone.
2) Our runner up is Joseph Lubin, another co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain. Lubin is estimated to
have a net worth of between: $1 billion to $5 billion. Whichever end of the scale he sits, he can no doubt
claim to be billionaire.
1) And last but not least, with an estimated wealth of between $7.5 billion to $8 billion is Chris Larsen,
the co-founder of Ripple Labs. Forbes suggests that Larsen is holding 5.2 billion XRP coins, so this estimate is based on market value from earlier in the year. However, Larsen is still sitting firmly at the top of the crypto-billionaire list.
So there you have it – the 10 richest people in the cryptocurrency world according to Forbes.
Interestingly, it only takes one coin to rocket, or another coin to crash, and the entire list could be
changed in its entirety! How many of the above king-pins do you think will make the 2019 list?
