How can these people know how much money the Winklevoss twins have, besides their investments in Bitcoin. Do they even
know how much bitcoins these guys has bought? You cannot lose money, if you did not sell those bitcoins and besides.. the
price has gone up, since this clickbait article was published.  Roll Eyes

Check the front page of the newspaper:

That's not a newspaper...that's a garbage bin.

As for the real number of coins they have, there is only one real source:

The Winklevii, as they are known, have amassed since last summer what appears to be one of the single largest portfolios of the digital money, whose wild gyrations have Silicon Valley and Wall Street talking. The twins, the first prominent figures in the largely anonymous bitcoin world to publicly disclose a big stake, say they own nearly $11 million worth.

Or at least $11 million as of Thursday morning — when trading was temporarily suspended after the latest and largest flash crash left a single bitcoin worth about $120 and the whole market worth $1.3 billion. At one point, the price had plummeted 60 percent.

So, based on their own numbers they do have around 100k coins.
