Until now, the Winklevoss twins have been best known for suing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, claiming that he stole their idea to create a social networking website while they were all students at Harvard. The brothers received $65 million as a result of that suit, but what they did next will likely ensure that they are remembered for something far more distinctive.
In 2013, the brothers took $11 million of the funds from that settlement and invested in bitcoin — at just $120 per coin. This investment garnered them nearly 1 percent of all bitcoins that were in circulation at that time.
