Money & Me: ‘I was a child star in Hollywood but now I’m a cryptocurrency billionaire’
Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology pioneer Brock Pierce ran as an independent candidate for the US presidency last year.
The American venture capitalist and philanthropist first achieved fame, however, as a child actor in Disney films including The Mighty Ducks and its sequel D2: The Mighty Ducks, which starred 1980s "Brat Pack" actor Emilio Estevez, as well as First Kid.
Recently in Dubai to address an emerging technology summit, Mr Pierce, now 40, is chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation and co-founder of EOS Alliance, Block.one, Blockchain Capital, Tether and Mastercoin, and is accredited with establishing marketplaces for digital currency.
