Changpeng Zhao responds to Forbes again: Net worth estimate lacks logic Binance founder Changpeng Zhao @cz_binance has once again responded to Forbes' estimate of his net worth at $110 billion. He stated that it’s illogical for Binance’s valuation to increase when crypto prices are dropping. Using recent valuation growth to calculate his net worth increase, in his view, lacks logic. He emphasized that Binance, as the largest crypto exchange, rises and falls with the industry. He has never shorted or tried to suppress prices. Even if he no longer manages Binance, he will continue advocating for cryptocurrency to governments around the world.
