Successful child businessman. Had an advertising agency by 17 that is still going and doing well. Branched out into medical software and PR. Bought lots of BTC in 2013 (aged 19ish) and then bought heavily into Dash in the first week after launch. Not sure about his BTC trades but bought most of his Dash for about one cent and sold for between $100 and $1000. Still holds half of his portfolio. I was working for Dash in those days, that's how we met. He invests in some of my projects.
Edit: to spell it out, most of his wealth came from crypto but he was wealthy before that.
Was just on a Zoom call with a colleague. He's 26, lives in Utrecht and is worth over $50m (wealth from cryptocurrency). We've discussed watches before, in depth. He has shown an interest in luxury watches but has a huge collection of shitty £5 to £50 fashion watches.
He just mentioned in passing that he bought a watch a few years ago as an investment and was wondering if it was worth any more than he paid for it. Off he goes to his safe and back he comes with a pristine full yellow gold Submariner from the year 2000. Full set, looks never worn.
How the fuck did this not come up in conversation before? :D
