In just 24 hours on September 20, 2026, cryptocurrency billionaire Changpeng Zhao's net worth soared by $9.76 billion, reaching a staggering $91.2 billion, according to Forbes' real-time billionaire tracker. This surge, equivalent to a 12% increase overnight, comes after Zhao's fortune expanded by $41.5 billion since the start of the year, marking an 83.6% rise, as per Bloomberg's billionaire index.
Born on June 25, 1977, Zhao is the visionary behind Binance, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. The platform supports over 350 cryptocurrencies and boasts more than 320 million registered users as of June 2026. While Forbes attributes about a 90% stake in Binance to Zhao, his immense wealth is largely tied to his ownership of the privately held company.
Bloomberg estimates Binance's transaction-fee revenue at $5.4 billion, which, when adjusted using average fee ratios from comparable publicly traded companies, yields an estimated total revenue of $10.7 billion. This valuation methodology, coupled with recent regulatory adjustments and reduced discount rates, has significantly contributed to the rapid rise in Zhao's estimated net worth.
