The Terra Collapse: Ran Neuner’s $134 Million Loss
Ran Neuner, once hailed as the youngest CEO of a publicly traded company in South Africa, faced a devastating fall from grace. He poured a significant portion of his wealth into Terra (LUNA)—only to see its value plummet catastrophically in days, erasing his portfolio that had been worth over $133 millions.
Neuner described the impact as one of “the darkest” moments of his life—a period he called a “pity party,” a necessary phase of emotional mourning before he could pick himself up and fight back.
