- Eric Finman
Erik Finman began investing in bitcoin in 2011, when it was just $12 per token
Through selling companies and other investments, he now has 403 bitcoins — worth more than $1 million
Erik Finman made a bet with his parents that if he turned 18 and was a millionaire, they wouldn’t force him to go to college. Thanks to his savvy investments in bitcoin and the current all-time high valuation, he won’t have to get his degree.He currently owns 403 bitcoins, which at the current $2,700 a coin puts his bitcoin value at $1.09 million. He also has smaller investments in other cryptocurrencies, including litecoin and ethereum. At this young age he is Top Bitcoin Millionaires in the very young age.
The first time, he turned $1,000 into $100,000
Finman began investing in bitcoin in May 2011 at the age of 12, thanks to a $1,000 gift from his grandmother and a tip from his brother Scott.
Though he’s close with his family — which he calls the “Elon Musk version of the Kardashians” — growing up in “small town” Idaho outside of Coeur d’Alene wasn’t easy. Finman was especially frustrated with his high school teachers, and begged his parents to let him drop out at 15. [Source : cnbc ]

5. Topy Gallippi
Topy Gallippi CEO of BitPay includes Bitcoins in his portfolio right along with his real estate, bonds and stocks. His company is a payment processing company that handles Bitcoin processing.As previously mentioned, due to the way the bitcoins are stored it is impossible to have a clear understanding of just how many of the wallet owners are actual millionaires. The millionaire status comes from the amount of hard versus cryptocurrency they would hold if they were to cash in their bitcoin holdings. Therefore setting him as the top Bitcoin Millionaires in the world.
