Who actually invented the internet?

I mean, some people have become rich, thanks to the internet, so the person who invented it should be swimming in a Olympic pool of money?

The question of the day is: who invented the internet?

-Philip

Tim Berners-Lee “invented” the World Wide Web not the Internet.
Internet derives from ARPANET, a military project by US Department of Defense (DARPA).

Arbernet was about “time sharing” and if it was a military project, how come it’s known by everyone today??
