Top 50 Richest Steem Whales ranked by Steem Power 28.06.2017
The Task @Jerrybanfield asked to do proved to be more difficult then expected, I tried to find online data's of people like their Facebook Profiles, Linkedin Profiles or Twitter Profiles or Github (Seems more relevant, I realised since top 50 is more developer heavy, early investor tend to stay more anonymous for good reason and protecting their privacy for security reason.
The top 50 richest Steemit Whales can be categorized into following groups:
- Anonymous Investors
- Steemit Developer and Steemit Accounts
- a few Early Investors
- active steem whales
- active curators
