[Forbes: CZ's Net Worth Rises to $110 Billion, Surpassing Bill Gates] BlockBeats News, March 11: According to the latest Forbes Billionaires List, CZ's personal net worth has risen to approximately $110 billion, an increase of $47 billion compared to last year. He is now ranked 17th on the global billionaires list, with a fortune surpassing that of Bill Gates. The report indicates that CZ's wealth growth primarily stems from his equity holdings in the cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance. Industry estimates suggest that Binance is currently valued at around $100 billion, with CZ holding approximately 90% of the shares. The platform remains the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, 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, roughly 2.5 times the revenue of Coinbase during the same period (approximately $6.6 billion). Additionally, the Binance ecosystem includes businesses such as BNB Chain, which currently has a market value of approximately $88 billion. In 2023, CZ pleaded guilty to failing to establish an effective anti-money laundering system, resigned as Binance CEO, and served a four-month prison sentence. Subsequently, in October 2025, U.S. President Trump issued him a full pardon.
