Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss
Net Worth $120 million
Brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss hired Mark Zuckerberg when they were attending Harvard University to design a website called harvardconnection.com. The platform and idea around harvardconnection.com were very similar to what is now known as Facebook, started by Zuckerberg. Facebook is currently the biggest social network in the world.
In 2008 Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss reached a settlement with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg which at the time was valued at $65 million. Fast forward to 2010 and their facebook stock is now worth an estimated $120 million. The twins sued Facebook claiming that Zuckerberg stole their idea and source code after being contracted to help develop their site ConnectU.
