Recently, Chris Larsen – co-founder of Ripple has topped as the World’s richest Crypto Tycoon with a total net worth of $2.1 billion. He made Forbes 400 list as the 383rd richest person on Earth, as published on Thursday.

Though he did manage to enter the list, he surprised Forbe’s old estimation about his property at the same time. Forbes has estimated his net worth to be of total $37.3 billion in January. However, the current figure shows it to be worth $2.1 billion, a steep decline than estimated. The co-founder of Ripple has gathered about 5.19 billion XRP tokens that made him this year’s Forbes 400 list as the world’s richest cryptocurrency tycoon.

Larsen is not the only one to become one of the fortunate crypto investors. Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse also gathered a whopping amount of $9.5 billion by January this year. However, the fortune is volatile here. Brad couldn’t able to maintain his net worth above $2.1 billion this time. As a result of which, he couldn’t able to make into the list of Forbes 400 list.

Ripple came into existence in the year 2012 with a motive of facilitating international payments for banks using Blockchain. It got a major boost because of the efforts put into by its Co-founder and CEO Chris Larsen and Brad Garlinghouse. Besides Ripple, Larsen has notable contribution for e-Loan (a mortgage lending system) and Prosper (a peer-peer lending system).
