Everything You Need to Know About Tyler Winklevoss

If you’ve been closely following cryptocurrency and key players in the industry, you’ve probably come across Tyler Winklevoss at some point. Him and his twin brother, Cameron, attracted media attention for becoming the first Bitcoin billionaires at the end of 2017.

But becoming billionaires isn’t even the interesting part of the story. Before investing in Bitcoin, Tyler and Cameron gained national headlines for their lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg, who the twins claimed stole their idea for Facebook. Zuckerberg ended up settling with the Winklevoss twins, paying them a sum of $65 million for their contribution to Facebook. From that settlement, Tyler and Cameron invested $11 million into Bitcoin and turned that investment into nearly a billion dollars on his own, and a combined estimated wealth of $1.3 billion with his brother. It goes to show, you have to have money to make money.

Even without the billion dollars, the high-profile lawsuit, and the crypto earnings, Tyler is still an incredibly interesting person. Both he and his brother are renowned competitive rowers who competed for Harvard University and even the United States’ national rowing team. Both Winklevoss brothers competed in the 2007 Pan American Games, earning both Gold and Silver medals, as well as the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, where they came in 6th place.

And that’s still not all. Always ahead of the trends, Tyler and his brother started their first website design business in the mid-90s, when they were 13-years-old. While it never turned into a massive money maker, they were able to earn anywhere between a couple hundred to a thousand dollars for every site they designed, which isn’t bad for a couple of teens.

Tyler and his brother are also the creators of Gemini, a popular exchange for digital assets. While he may not be in the media or portrayed in movies like “The Social Network” anymore, Tyler is working hard to promote cryptocurrency to a mainstream audience.
