Australian comedian Jim Jefferies has amassed four times as much bitcoin as Elon Musk, revealing that he bought bitcoin for around 10K on the trading platform Robinhood and laughed it off.
The comedian said he currently has $9,612 worth of bitcoin, but Danial noted that Jefferies has not yet put his tokens in a wallet. Buying 1 BTC makes him four times as rich as tech billionaire Elon Musk, who confirmed in May that his bitcoin holdings were worth about $1.5 million at the time of publication. Jeffery’s net worth is estimated at nearly $9 million, which Forbes says means he has become richer through his crypto investments than billionaire Paul Tudor Jones, the founder of Apple, and billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros.

I love that Jim Jefferies came on the show to learn about Bitcoin in the right way. I will love him to come on our show if he is interested in it. Podcaster Marty Bent offered to replace Danial after one user pointed out his performance, saying the so-called experts he has are a total disaster. Jeffery is the second major comedian to express an interest in cryptocurrencies in a podcast this week. As reported on July 2, Anthony Pompliano successfully persuaded comedian Bill Burr to invest in Bitcoin.
