Net Worth

Material possessions were once seen as burdensome to Zhao, who went by his nickname of CZ and is known for being frugal and minimalistic in his approach.

Early 2022, his net worth was estimated to be estimated at an estimated of $125 billion. Through Sandbox VR, his business offers cutting-edge virtual reality experiences in physical gaming centers where customers wear customized headsets.

However, his wealth took a sharp decline when the value of Terraform Labs’ Luna token dropped 90 per cent – sending shockwaves through investors’ ranks and underscoring the inherent risk associated with investing in crypto assets. Binance’s stake has since decreased to approximately $21 billion – still significant but well down on its peak level.
