Sam Bankman-Fried($22.5 billion) (3/6)

Not all rich people have to be bad. Take Sam Bankman-Fried for example,

Sam Bankman-Fried acquired his wealth thanks to the FTX exchange as well as Alameda Research trading firm. From a young age, he exhibited remarkable alturism. His life philosophy is to do the most good possible in his life.

He worked at a quant firm and donated the majority of his earnings to charity but got into crypto when he found an arbitrage opportunity. Most of the money he earns in his life he plans to give away as part of his core philosophy of ‘earning to give’.

Sam Bankman-Fried launched his own exchange, FTX, in 2019. It currently is one of the largest crypto derivatives platforms.

His story is one of the very few of young people going from relative obscurity to one of the world’s top billionaires in just a few years. Not only that, he’s young too!
