I am pretty sure  all the early adopters did.

Maybe the guy that sold laszlo the pizza? 10000 BTC is about 3 million right now...

I read an interview with the guy that sold laszlo the pizza. He said he had no big amount of bitcoins when they became worth a fortune. He traded a tiny amount and sold them for $1000. According to him that's all he got out of it, apart from the two pizzas.

I don't know how much laszlo made out of his 10000 BTC though.

Can you report here the link of this interview? I would like to read it. However I have discovered bitcoin few years ago (in 2012) but I thought it was only a 'scam' and never thought it would succeed as a lot of people. So I have never bought or mine it  Undecided, but who car es?This is still an experiment and I am here for discover this new economy.

Here an interesting thread of : rpietila  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316297.0)

TL;DR:  As a result of analyzing the "Mt.Gox leak", the number of bitcoin holders is likely 1.0 millions. Of these,
* the 400 bitcoin millionaires with at least BTC2,000 hold 40% of bitcoins.
* 100,000 owners with BTC10-BTC2,000 ($5,000-$1,000,000) hold 50% of the bitcoins.
* 900,000 owners have a holding of BTC0.002-BTC10, valued at $1-$5,000, and hold 10% of the bitcoins
