The Richest Crypto And Bitcoin Billionaires In The World 2024: Meet the 17 investors and entrepreneurs who made ten-digit fortunes on the blockchain.

Quick Glance: Billionaires Profiting from AI 2024
- The AI gold rush has led to a plethora of new billionaires in the sector, as surging values for both public and private companies with ties to AI have skyrocketed.
- Over the past year, tech companies, both new and old, have seen massive share price increases, making the world's tech tycoons even richer and introducing over a dozen new AI billionaires into the Forbes World's Billionaires list.
- Nvidia cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang serves as the poster child for this boom. However, other companies like Super Micro Computer, Advanced Micro Devices, and Cloudflare also benefited from the trend. Privately owned AI companies have also gained momentum, with AI-centric startups alone raising nearly $50 billion in funding last year.
- Major tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet have significantly contributed to financing private AI companies to compete in the AI race. However, it remains to be seen if and when the AI bubble will burst and funding could dry up.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Sam Bankman-Fried Avoids Second Trial
- U.S. prosecutors do not plan to conduct a second trial against former FTX Chief Executive Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted last month of stealing from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.
- Prosecutors said the strong public interest in a prompt resolution of the case against the 31-year-old former billionaire outweighed the benefits of a second trial.
- Bankman-Fried could face decades in prison when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan.
- A second trial would not affect how much time Bankman-Fried could face in prison, as Kaplan could consider all of Bankman-Fried's conduct when sentencing him for the counts on which he was convicted.
