Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List data shows Justin Sun’s net worth of $8.5 billion has surpassed Wang Jianlin’s $4.4 billion. In response, Sun said: “No ups and downs, only wake-up calls. Wang Jianlin was once a ‘god of the era,’ just as I was once a young person no one believed in. The cruelest part of era changes is that those at the peak are always the last to notice. So today, if a young person tells me something I don’t understand or even want to mock, I can no longer hold the same confidence I had when dealing with Wang Sicong.
