The Dogecoin founder, with a total of 2.1 million followers, was paid the sum of $37,050, and this ranks him as the second highest earner in the first block of payments sent out.

Billy Markus has strong engagement on his posts to place him in the top spot, and he has the Dogecoin community to thank.
The Elon Musk Influence
The popularity of the Dogecoin founder might have been influenced by his seemingly close relationship with Elon Musk. Both men have a common interest in the Shiba Inu-themed digital currency.
As reported on different occasions by U.Today, both Musk and the Dogecoin founder are known to engage with each other's content, helping the crypto innovator boost his overall visibility.
When Elon Musk took over after the acquisition of Twitter last year, many were optimistic that his leadership would bring good tidings to creators in the digital currency ecosystem. While the payout may be small relative to Markus's perceived network, it is a good place to start for more to come.
