I don't think that a lot of billionaire really invested in bitcoins. And if they did, it was probably a small amount of money, so not really "mentionnable"

I have no clue. I suspect their kids are more likely to be into it than the billionaires themselves.

Billionaires of today didn't get there by providing a corresponding amount of value back to the people. They are the principle beneficiaries of the 'Aristocracy of Pull' built on a ponzi money system - and they certainly don't want that to change.

Well, I know for sure that there are at least 3: the WV twins, and ... me.

The winklevii didn't do it in secret though so they are out, also are they billionaires?

Most of us here think that bitcoin is a great idea, (I happen to think it is the idea of the century in one form or another), put together all of us have spent millions of dollars perhaps 100's of millions of dollars on bitcoin and bitcoin related services and goods etc. VC's are spending money on bitcoin as well, with coinbase being the largest that I have heard of with a 6MM+ round.

With that said, how many billionaires do you think have secretly invested in bitcoin in some way or another?

Happy voting! and feel free to post your thoughts.

Edit: (added count of billionaires)

As of 2013 there are 1,426 billionaires[1] in the world.
