Craig Steven Wright Net Worth
Australian computer programmer and entrepreneur Craig Steven Wright recently gained a huge media attention after claiming he’s in fact the mysterious bitcoin creator known until now only under online nickname Satoshi Nakamoto. As a founder of DeMorgan Ltd, company focusing on cryptocurrencies, his statement comes with a lot of credibility. Wright also runs cybernetic security and internet forensics firm called Panopticrypt Pty. If he really owns one in seven bitcoins as he claims, his share in this endeavor and total net worth are slightly above $450 million as of 2016.
Not everyone believes yet, that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto. Many doubters started already scrutinize his entire life to find something shady. So far they came up with accusation that although he in fact earned several graduate degrees (including masters degree in Law from Northumbria University and masters degree in Statistics from the University of Newcastle) , Wright’s claim that he has also PhD in Theology wasn’t confirmed by the Charles Sturt University. Doctorate or not, Wright is certainly very skilled individual.
He was for example the world’s first man to receive prestigious GIAC certification in Compliance and Audits. His extensive expertise in computer security and encryption made him start own business. His Sydney-based company DeMorgan Limited is offering free online webinars on supercomputers that is aimed at experienced programmers.
Wright certainly has a background of a person capable of inventing bitcoin, an alternative online payment system with advanced encryption. If he really owns one seventh of all bitcoins created so far, it translates into incredible net worth of $450 million. Wired and Gizmodo both already came in the past to conclusion that Australian businessman Wright is the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto.
