TikTok Founder Zhang Yiming Overtakes Gautam Adani as Asia’s Richest
Bloomberg said Zhang’s net worth rose above $105 billion after updated valuations, reflecting how AI-driven companies are reshaping Asia’s billionaire rankings.
- On Wednesday, ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming became Asia's richest person with a fortune rising above $105 billion, surpassing Indian billionaire Gautam Adani according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
- Lian Jye Su, chief analyst at Omdia, said Zhang "plays his cards right" by doubling down on AI investments while the company expanded into products including the Doubao chatbot and Seedance.
- Zhang's wealth jumped more than $12 billion this month after Bloomberg analyzed updated valuations from investment firms including BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, and Rowe Price.
- Adani saw his wealth decline in recent months after an MSCI index rebalancing wiped about $15 billion off his market value, following a June peak of about $120 billion.
- This ranking highlights a broader shift in Asia as AI-related businesses generate new wealth, outpacing fortunes built around traditional sectors like those of Adani and Mukesh Ambani.
