You know??? The founder of Hyperliquid is only 31: billionaire Jeff Yang.
Yang lives a very modest life and never flaunts his wealth — apart from the group of bodyguards who stick close to him.
In 2019, he lived in a small apartment in Puerto Rico that cost him less than $2,000 a month. He got into algorithmic cryptocurrency trading with about $10,000 of his own money and even used his TV as a computer monitor.
A few years later, he used his profits to create Hyperliquid — without venture capital or outside investors. Just his own money, his intelligence, and an obsession with the idea.
Then, in 2024, he simply distributed 31% of HYPE tokens to users, worth around $1.2 billion at the time, to thank them for using his platform. No token sales to funds, no private funding rounds.
From $10,000 and a rented apartment to billionaire in about five years. All before he even turned 31. $HYPE
