Who is Vitalik Buterin and how did he become a crypto billionaire?

Vitalik Buterin is one of the founders of the largest blockchain platform and altcoin Ethereum, as well as the youngest crypto billionaire 💰

Vitalik has been interested in the cryptocurrency market since childhood and at the age of 17 he became a co-founder and editor of Bitcoin Magazine.

Further, in 2013, when he was 19 years old, he launched the first version of Ethereum, a payment system and а platform for developing applications based on the blockchain. And by May 2021, his fortune exceeded $1 billion.

However, Vitalik did not stay in the status of a cryptocurrency billionaire for long: on May 19, Ethereum fell sharply, and the fortune of the young genius declined by almost 40%.

What about now, it is impossible to say for sure how much money he possesses. However, it can be assumed that taking into account the current Ethereum rate, he managed to regain his former status.
