Background

Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, recently told The New York Times that his net worth is between $10 billion and $30 billion.

Analysis

Forbes estimates Zhao's net worth at $110 billion, ranking him 17th richest globally. However, this estimate is based on a $100 billion valuation of Binance, which lacks a market price.

Implications

The discrepancy highlights the challenges of valuing private companies like Binance. A Binance IPO or funding round could clarify the relationship between Zhao's wealth and BNB's value.
