Yuri Milner @yurimilner: led $10 at $60 post round into Bytedance in 2013 worth ~$20B today. I heard he did personally in which case would top this list, but even if through DST wowza... https://twitter.com/mbrennanchina/status/1265217383666348033?s=20

Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath: popularized the SPAC, made $2B+, also only one who talked about publicly :) https://twitter.com/chamath/status/1344848278026907649?s=20

Mike Speiser, Sutter Hill @laserlikemike: Sutter Hill incubated Snowflake with their stake worth $12B. The kicker, I don't think they have outside capital and all is internal capital
