Four crypto entrepreneurs join Forbes billionaires list
2020 was characterized by the Coronavirus pandemic, leading to massive economic decline in various countries globally. Despite that, nearly 500 people joined Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list over the past year, having excelled in various sectors.
Crypto space produces four new billionaires
Forbes published its annual list of new billionaires globally. Despite the economic effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, a total of 493 billionaires joined the Forbes list over the past year, with the cryptocurrency space one of the sectors to produce new billionaires.According to the Forbes article, four cryptocurrency entrepreneurs joined the Forbes list of billionaires over the past year. The leader here is 29-year-old Sam Bankman-Fried, who made $8.7 billion over the past year after founding two cryptocurrency firms.
Forbes said about Bankman-Fried that “His quantitative trading firm Alameda manages $32 billion in Bitcoin, other major cryptocurrencies and other derivatives. He also founded the FTX exchange, which achieved unicorn status in January 2020, less than a year after its launch. Most of his wealth is tied up in FTX’s equity and its FTT tokens.”
Bankman-Fried is one of the leading names in the cryptocurrency space, with the FTX crypto exchange gaining global adoption over the past year. FTX has been expanding its presence and recently signed a deal with the Miami Heat, buying the naming rights to the NBA team’s stadium.
Winklevoss twins join the list
Other notable crypto billionaires on the Forbes list include Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (worth $3 billion each). The twins used some of their settlement with Facebook to snatch up Bitcoin in the early days. They founded the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, which processes over $200 million per day. The twins currently own an estimated 70,000 bitcoins.Silicon Valley scion Tim Draper is the fourth cryptocurrency expert to enter the Forbes list. Draper bought $18.7 million worth of Bitcoin but was confiscated by U.S. Marshals from the shuttered Silk Road black market in 2014. The bitcoins are now worth roughly $1.5 billion.
China produced the highest number of new billionaires over the past year, with 205. The United States comes with 98 new billionaires and Germany with 26.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
