However, he says there's been one investment so far that stands out the most.

When asked by Harry Stebbings on the 20VC podcast what his "single best investment" has been to date, Ohanian said it was a pre-launch token sale.

"It would be Ethereum at the pre-token sale," Ohanian said, adding that, at today's prices, it has netted him $17.1 million.

Ohanian said he initially invested $10,000, making this the best investment (money-wise) so far.

Ethereum is trading at around $3,600 as of press time.
