[Dogecoin creator made $720,000 this year by selling DOGE]
Although Billy Markus, the founder of Dogecoin, sold his DOGE holdings for $10,000 as early as 2015, his activities in the cryptocurrency industry have not stopped. At that time, he sold DOGE to buy a car. If he had held it to this day, the value of these DOGE would have exceeded US$9 million, and even reached US$45 million at its peak.
Despite this, Markus remains active in the cryptocurrency community and continues to profit from receiving and selling gifted tokens. In 2024 alone, he made about $780,000 from selling these free tokens. This is just one of his many token transactions this year, the most recent of which occurred just a few days ago.
Although Markus has sold his original DOGE, he continues to generate revenue from the free tokens, proving that he is not completely out of the cryptocurrency industry. His wealth continues to grow through the continued sale of gifted tokens. Even if he misses out on DOGE's peak wealth, he's still profiting in other ways, with enough revenue in 2024 alone to easily buy a new car, if not more.
