Hedera's Response to CZ Making the Forbes Top 20: Thankful for the Recognition of Binance's Value, But Valuation Is Just a Valuation

2 hours ago

**March 11 – Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has responded to Forbes’ report that his net worth has climbed to $110 billion, surpassing Bill Gates.** On the eve of industry transformation, CZ noted the traditional finance sector views the crypto space as a panacea, while the crypto industry sees traditional finance the same way. Recent news of industry fundraising, IPO preparations, and the market performance of already-listed crypto firms may have prompted Forbes to revalue Binance, he added. “We should still thank Forbes for the recognition, but valuation is just valuation,” he said. Earlier today, CZ took to social media to address his placement on Forbes’ Top 20 Billionaires list. He pointed out Bitcoin has dropped sharply from its peak, arguing Forbes’ estimate is inaccurate. “Don’t they see how much the big pie has fallen? Rich in what?” he questioned. The latest Forbes Billionaires List shows CZ’s net worth has jumped $47 billion from last year to roughly $110 billion, landing him 17th globally and ahead of Bill Gates.
