By using this capital, Larsen had succeeded to achieve success on all business ventures he made. But how did he become a crypto-rich person?

Most of the people still do not have any idea that Larsen is the co-founder of “Ripple” and “OpenCoin”. OpenCoin is the first coin venture which was found for reducing the bank fees and transaction periods. Company brand-name was changed to “Ripple Labs” in 2013. No need to explain what “Ripple” is currently. Larsen is holding 5,2 million of XRP tokens, and most of his fortune comes from this portfolio.
