ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming has surpassed Mukesh Ambani to become Asia’s second-richest person.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Zhang’s net worth has risen to $92.8 billion, making him the richest person in China.
His wealth has increased dramatically from around $13 billion in March 2019 to nearly $93 billion today.
The rise is largely linked to the growing valuation of ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, and its expanding investments in artificial intelligence.
Analysts say the surge reflects strong investor confidence in ByteDance’s business performance and future AI ambitions.
Zhang’s rapid rise in the billionaire rankings highlights the growing influence of AI and technology companies in shaping global wealth.
