HEAD OF THE DAY
🇨🇳 🇰🇳 Justin Sun
🚀 The Billionaire Jack-of-All-Trades: Justin Sun is hard to pin down in a single word.
At just 35, he’s already a crypto billionaire, serial founder, space tourist, and diplomat at the United Nations in Geneva. Born in China, he now holds a passport from the Caribbean state of St. Kitts and Nevis.
In 2017, he founded the blockchain network Tron and later acquired BitTorrent as well as the crypto exchange Poloniex.
🍌 Fun fact: Sun made headlines when he paid USD 6.2 million for an artwork consisting only of a banana duct-taped to a wall. He ate it right there in the Sotheby’s auction hall.
👉🏻 Lesson learned: Honestly, we’re not so sure… Maybe this: once your reputation is shot (and you’re a billionaire), life gets pretty carefree.
