His name was Tony Vaughn and he was from Kentucky. He was paid his salary in bitcoin in 2013 , at time when very few even heard about bitcoin. If he would have not sold those bitcoins that he got as salary, he would might have been a billionaire by now. Because bitcoin price at that time was just $1000 a piece , so his wealth would have been about 30 times at current prices.
Base on my understanding even if he haven't sold the bitcoin that he got he wouldn't have become a billionaire despite that he was the only one that is been paid by bitcoin at that 2013,but rather a millionaire because i they were just paying him $80k
