If you have watched 'The Social Network' that traced the origins and the back story of everyone's favourite Facebook, then you'd recognise the twins who sued Zuckerberg for stealing their idea of a social media platform. Rings a bell?

They are making headlines again and this time it has got nothing to do with Zuckerberg actually. The Winklevoss twins have been declared the world's first bitcoin billionaires.

The bitcoin bubble and the world of the cryptocurrency is full of dark secrets, but it is no secret that people are minting money from this investment. The twins invested their settlement money and invested around $11m (£8m) bet on the cryptocurrency four years ago. Their combined worth is now more than a whopping $1bn! Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss attended Harvard together and claimed that Zuckerberg stole their idea of 'Harvard Connect' which went up to becoming Facebook.  The twins have even represented the US in rowing in the Beijing Olympics.

Their billionaire status is being debated on the internet as many believe that they already exist.

However, they are surely the first 'known' bitcoin billionaires in the public eye. With their current growth, they are estimated to get richer that Zuckerberg! But that is a risky affair though.
