Changpeng Zhao, the founder and former CEO of Binance, has become the richest Chinese individual in the world, according to multiple sources including Forbes. His net worth is reported to be approximately $62.9 billion, placing him 24th on Forbes' global billionaire list. Zhao's rise to this position reflects his long-term involvement in cryptocurrency, having been a Bitcoin holder since 2014. Meanwhile, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is estimated to have a net worth of around $120 billion, primarily due to holding approximately 1.09 million bitcoins, making him one of the top ten richest people globally. Nakamoto's wealth surpasses notable billionaires such as Steve Ballmer and could exceed Elon Musk's net worth if Bitcoin reaches $313,000 per coin. Other prominent Chinese billionaires include Zhang Yiming of ByteDance and Zhong Shanshan, who rank closely behind Zhao. The cryptocurrency sector continues to influence global wealth rankings significantly.
