btw it's address and not wallet. wallets [can] have many addresses.
My bad, also the link you linked, the two I found have more BTC received in total than almost all of them.
The amount received doesn't have much to do with the richest person.  It could be a mixer address that has a lot of transactions run through it to jumble things up, or some sort of service that uses cold storage for anything above a relatively small amount.  Could also be a change address for somebody that makes a lot of small transactions with a large balance, though that wouldn't make too much sense.

I would have expected Gox to have the most turnover of any wallet ever.

I wouldn't call them the biggest wallet though, they don't contain nearly 10million bitcoins, otherwise people would rightly complain that bitcoin was too centralized! (whereas they complain anyway, but it isn't as true.)

I think I found one of the largest Bitcoin addresses and the second largest. I'm probably wrong but it doesn't hurt anyone with me posting them here.

1st Largest I found: https://blockchain.info/address/19iVyH1qUxgywY8LJSbpV4VavjZmyuEyxV Over 5,264,776 BTC ($2.1 billion) received in total.
2nd Largest I found: https://blockchain.info/address/3KgtbGgaX2ngstNpvyv7LwpHSweVeqGbpM Over 4,139,869 BTC ($1.6 billion) received in total.

I think these are the largest total Bitcoin received addresses.
The 1st has received a third of all Bitcoins in circulation.
The 2nd has received just under a third of all Bitcoins in circulation.


Post your thoughts below and the ones you think have received the most Bitcoins in total.
