Twin billionaires Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have taken over the cryptocurrency world on their own becoming entrepreneurs, and now they have listed their NYC penthouse for $16.5 million, according to Realtor. The Winklevoss bought the penthouse in 2014 for $14.5 million, so they would be walking away with a reasonable size profit when it sells.
