From $4.57M Lunch to $23.6B Empire: The Justin Sun Story
In 2019, Justin Sun made headlines by paying $4.57M to have lunch with Warren Buffett. The meeting was delayed due to Sun’s alleged kidney stones, but the media buzzed with anticipation.
The Lunch That Made Waves in the Crypto World
When the lunch finally took place, Sun gifted Buffett a Galaxy Fold containing BTC and TRX, assets that Buffett later gifted to charity.
At that time, TRON had just completed a successful $70M ICO, and BitTorrent had been acquired for $140M. Sun’s ambitions went beyond financial gains; he sought validation and credibility.
Following the lunch, Sun made strategic moves like acquiring Poloniex, purchasing Steemit, and launching USDD. He even took on roles such as a “diplomat” for Grenada and “PM” of Liberland.
Reports suggest Sun was involved in boosting the volume of the TRUMP memecoin and made headlines for consuming a $6.2M banana art piece.
The Rise of TRON’s Ecosystem
Today, TRON’s ecosystem boasts a staggering $23.6B valuation. Despite a brief pause in the SEC fraud case and active IPO plans, Sun’s empire continues to grow.
Justin Sun didn’t just secure a lunch date with Warren Buffett; he gained credibility, global attention, and solidified his status as a crypto visionary.
