3X as many crypto figures make it onto Forbes 2021 billionaires list as last year By Cointelegraph


3X as many crypto figures make it onto Forbes 2021 billionaires record as final yr

Forbes launched their annual billionaires record on April 6, with Amazon (NASDAQ:) overlord Jeff Bezos and his $177 billion topping the record for a fourth consecutive yr.

The “digital gold rush” has seen 9 new crypto billionaires be a part of the Forbes record, pushing the whole as much as 12 (relying on whether or not you depend the Winklevoss twins as one or two entries.) That is up from simply 4 in final yr’s Forbes World’s Billionaires record
