Forbes: CZ's Wealth Reaches $110 Billion, Surpassing Bill Gates

BlockBeats News, March 11th, Forbes' latest billionaire list shows that CZ's personal net worth has risen to about $110 billion, an increase of $47 billion from last year, ranking 17th on the global rich list, with a wealth surpassing Bill Gates.

The report pointed out that CZ's wealth growth mainly comes from his ownership of the cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance. According to industry estimates, Binance is currently valued at about $100 billion, with CZ holding about 90% of the shares. The exchange platform remains the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, with a market share of about 38% and an annual trading volume exceeding $30 trillion.

Data shows that Binance is expected to generate approximately $16 billion to $17 billion in revenue between 2024 and 2025, about 2.5 times the revenue of Coinbase during the same period (about $6.6 billion).

In addition, the Binance ecosystem includes businesses such as BNB Chain, with a current market value of about $88 billion.

In 2023, CZ pleaded guilty to failing to establish an effective anti-money laundering system, resigned as Binance CEO, and was sentenced to 4 months in prison. Subsequently, U.S. President Trump issued a full pardon to him in October 2025.
