💎 He paid $4.57M for lunch — and turned it into a $23.6B empire
In 2019, Justin Sun paid $4.57M to dine with Warren Buffett.
He delayed the meeting (claimed kidney stones), but the media didn’t wait:
📣Crypto founder pays millions to dine with Buffett.
When the lunch finally happened, he gave Buffett a Galaxy Fold loaded with BTC and TRX — which Buffett quietly gave away.
➡️ At the time: TRON was fresh off a $70M ICO, BitTorrent acquired for $140M
➡️ Sun wanted more than capital — he wanted legitimacy
➡️ After the lunch: acquired Poloniex, bought Steemit, launched USDD
➡️ Appointed himself “diplomat” for Grenada and “PM” of Liberland
➡️ Allegedly pumped TRUMP memecoin volume
➡️ Ate a $6.2M banana taped to a wall — literally
Today, TRON’s ecosystem is worth $23.6B.
SEC fraud case? Paused. IPO plans? Active. Growth? Still compounding.
Sun didn’t just buy lunch — he bought credibility, attention, and an entire myth.
