Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were made famous by the movie The Social Network, which publicized their claim that Mark Zuckerberg had stolen their idea for a social network (now Facebook). After they won a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Facebook, they invested heavily in Bitcoin, almost $11 million. Well, it paid off (pun intended), because, on Sunday, Bitcoin hit a record high of $11,826.76 per coin, which would put the twin’s investment at over $1 billion.
