This Child Actor Made a Fortune in Crypto – Here’s How You Can Follow Him
When you think of the richest actors in Hollywood, names like Tom Cruise, George Clooney and Brad Pitt come to mind.
They’re worth a lot of money… $600 million, $500 million, and $400 million, respectively.
But a former child actor tops them all. His estimated personal net worth is about $2 billion.
And it all has to do with his foray into crypto….
In 1992, Brock Pierce had a role in the Disney cult classic The Mighty Ducks.
The film stars Emilion Estevez as Gordon Bombay, a lawyer who is ordered to coach a kids’ hockey team after he’s arrested for drunk driving.
Pierce plays Bombay as a 10-year-old during the movie’s flashbacks.
The film grossed nearly $51 million on a budget of $10 million, making it a modest hit.
But that’s obviously not where Pierce’s fortune came from. Instead, the former child actor turned to crypto to build his wealth.
After his acting career, Pierce became an early investor in bitcoin and Ethereum.
He also co-founded several blockchain projects, including EOS Alliance, Block.one and Blockchain capital. In total, he’s raised over $5 billion for companies he founded.
But one of his most famous ventures was co-founding Tether – the largest U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin issuer.
Today, I’ll explain how stablecoins helped make Pierce one of the wealthiest men in America… And more importantly, how they’ve become a great indicator of where the crypto market is headed next.
And based on our research, the direction is much, much higher, as you’ll see below…
