Winklevoss twins become world's first bitcoin billionaires
Singapore
TYLER and Cameron Winklevoss - the Harvard University rowing twins who famously sued Mark Zuckerberg claiming he stole their idea for Facebook - have just become the world's first bitcoin billionaires, say media reports.
The 36-year-old brothers lost their case against Mr Zuckerberg but received a settlement of US$65 million and used US$11 million of it to invest in bitcoin back in 2013, meaning they were early backers of the cryptocurrency.
