One of the founders of Tencent was allowed to call himself the richest man in China on Monday, after the share of the technology company was raised.
The Fortuin of Tencent founder Pony Ma was estimated at $ 56.9 billion by the Bloomberg financial press agency on Monday. He crossed Zhong Shanshan, owner of a drink group, among others. Pony Ma was also allowed to call himself the richest man in China in 2020 and last year.
The reason for this is a rate of Tencent on the stock exchange, now that the Chatbot Deepseek company is integrating into Chatapp WeChat. The meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping with a series of tops of Chinese private companies also supports the tech shares. The meeting is seen as a signal that Beijing is approaching the private companies, after the role of government companies has always been emphasized in the past.
Pony Ma could only enjoy his new title. After all, the share of Tencent had to hand in some of its profit later on Monday.
