Changpeng Zhao, the founder and former CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Binance (CRYPTO: BNB), disagreed with Forbes’ estimate of his wealth on Tuesday.
CZ Says Wealth Doesn’t Matter
Zhao, popularly referred to as CZ, responded to an X post about his net worth surpassing $87 billion, ranking him 21st in the world, according to Forbes. In real time, the wealth has exceeded $92 billion.
“I don’t believe this is accurate (way too high). I also don’t think it matters,” CZ said. “What matters is how many people we can help, and by how much.”
Forbes didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment.
