Bitcoin's unique maker was a man or people utilizing the nom de plume". Satoshi distributed the plan of bitcoin in a white paper and selected different engineers to help make it a reality. 


There are a wide range of hypotheses about who or what Satoshi initially was, however so far we don't have the foggiest idea. 


Concerning how Satoshi influenced a benefit for himself or themselves, to recall that in the good 'ol days there were not very many individuals running bitcoin mining programming. At regular intervals another square was added to the blockchain, and with it another 50 bitcoins. That is 52560 squares for each year, or 2.628 million bitcoins every year, isolated up between few bitcoin aficionados. 


That said — and with the proviso that bitcoin is pseudonymous so subtle elements like this must be concluded from different pieces of information — it's broadly trusted that most by far of bitcoins that Satoshi mined have not been contacted since Satoshi dropped beyond anyone's ability to see.

Someone who used the name Satoshi Nakamoto on a cryptography mailing list, published the first whitepaper about bitcoin and open sourced the original bitcoin software that launched the network.
