Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss went to Harvard on athletic scholarships, built one of the earliest social network concepts, and handed the idea to a developer who launched it as his own. That developer was Mark Zuckerberg. The platform became Facebook.
After a years-long legal battle, they walked away with $65 million — a number that looked like a loss until their 0.3% Facebook stake grew to half a billion dollars.
But the real story starts in Ibiza, in 2012, when a stranger on a beach told them about something called Bitcoin. They went home, researched it, and bought over 100,000 BTC at around $120 each — roughly 1% of the entire global supply.
By 2017, that position crossed $1 billion. They became the world’s first publicly known crypto billionaires.
This is the full story.
