Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has added approximately $47 billion to his net worth, catapulting him to 17th place on the Forbes Global Rich List with a total net worth of approximately $110 billion.
The surge reflects a strong recovery in crypto markets and Binance’s continued dominance in the global crypto exchange sector. The wealth increase comes despite CZ having previously stepped down from his CEO role following a settlement with US regulators, demonstrating the scale of his retained holdings in Binance and BNB.
