Jed McCaleb started working on Ripple back in 2011 and was part of the founders when it launched in 2013. But later abandoned the project in 2014 to work on Stellar Lumens (XLM).
When departing the company, he was awarded about 9 billion XRP tokens for developing and co-founding OpenCoin, which was later rebranded as Ripple.

And this year alone as aforementioned, he has sold a total of 499.5 million XRP tokens worth $192.4 million at current prices.
