Binance Coin (BNB), which has been breaking new records in recent days, has broken a new record today.
Binance Coin (BNB) has shown incredible performance over the past few days, leaving established altcoins Tether (USDT) and XRP behind.
BNB continues to rise, and BNB’s market capitalization reached $179.8 billion, ranking third.
While BNB broke new records, CZ, whose portfolio is largely made up of BNB, also rose.
According to Forbes, Binance founder CZ’s wealth has reached $87.3 billion, and this wealth has propelled him to 21st place on the list of the world’s richest people.
The controversy started when YouTuber Ajay Kashyap shared a screenshot of the Forbes richest person list on X. The post specifically highlighted CZ’s rankings, which CZ responded to by saying the numbers were inaccurate and exaggerated.
CZ said he was skeptical of the accuracy of this number, commenting, “(The number is too high) to be true.”
CZ also said numbers don’t matter, saying the true measure of success is helping people, not wealth.
“I don’t think that’s (too) true. I also don’t think it matters.”
What matters is how many people you can help. Please leave the world a little better than when I came. ”
According to Arcam data, CZ’s known cryptocurrency portfolio assets are:
“SHORT: 3,996 billion units ($142,900,000) BNB: 990,067 units ($1,280,000) SIREN: 1,775,000 units ($212,288,000) QUQ: 84,934,000 units ($231,900)”
However, of the cryptocurrencies listed above, BNB is the only one that appears to be an asset that Zhao actively owns. According to a June 2024 Forbes report, Binance founder Changpeng Chao (CZ) held approximately 89.1 million BNB at the time. Others are meme coins sent by developers to draw attention to CZ.
I don’t think this is accurate (too expensive).
I don’t think that matters either.What matters is how many people you can help.
Please make the world a little better than it was before I came. https://t.co/YxT9XDyoHN
