Binance Founder Changpeng Zhao’s Net Worth Soars to $75B as BNB Hits Record High
Changpeng "CZ" Zhao has broken through into the top echelons of the world’s wealthiest individuals, with his net worth reaching an estimated $75 billion following BNB’s new all-time high of $857.18.
CZ is ranked the 23rd richest person globally by Forbes, placing him close behind the ultra-wealthy elite of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett.
Following the recent altcoin rally, CZ could be very close to surpassing even Buffett himself, if the price of BNB just increases a mere 45% more.
The altcoin rally follows the softening of Bitcoin's dominance, falling 5.8% in one week to under 61%, marking its steepest decline since June 2022.
BNB's surge has also been a huge impetus to the altcoin rally, with the Altseason index currently at 51 points.
Since BNB’s launch in August 2017 at just $0.09611, the token’s appreciation has exceeded 890,000%, turbocharging CZ’s personal fortune at a pace unmatched even among the world’s most successful tech enChangpeng "CZ" Zhao has broken through into the top echelons of the world’s wealthiest individuals, with his net worth reaching an estimated $75 billion following BNB’s new all-time high of $857.18.trepreneurs.
Unlike most traditional billionaires, CZ’s wealth is highly concentrated in BNB, presenting both unparalleled upside and significant risk amid crypto market swings.
CZ reportedly controls around 64% of BNB’s circulating supply, amounting to roughly 98 million tokens—a position currently valued at $83 billion.
When combined with his estimated 90% stake in Binance, worth $35 billion, CZ’s net worth now challenges tech titans.
Mathematical projections indicate that BNB would need to reach $1,245 for CZ to surpass Buffett, $2,079 to overtake Bernard Arnault, $2,328 to edge past Bezos, and $4,095 to match Musk.
A 45% move from current levels could enable CZ to eclipse Buffett soon, especially given crypto’s rapid volatility.
Institutional Adoption Boosts BNB’s Profile
BNB’s meteoric climb has been partly fueled by growing institutional adoption of the BNB and the gradual increase in the companies who have chosen BNB as their main choice for their treasury.
Windtree therapeutics, for example, has recently secured a $520 million funding to build one of the largest corporate BNB treasuries.
Similarly, Nano Labs, a publicly traded Hong Kong firm, has established itself as the first major public company to stockpile BNB at scale, acquired 74,315 BNB tokens.
The company has outlined an ambitious plan to accumulate up to 10% of BNB's supply through a $1 billion accumulation strategy using convertible notes.
Build and Build Corp is also pursuing a $100 million BNB acquisition strategy modeled after MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin playbook, signaling growing demand from institutional investors.
Recently, BNB is also preparing major infrastructure upgrades, aiming to process 20,000 transactions per second by 2026, with confirmation times under 150 milliseconds.
The network will introduce native privacy features adn upgradeable virtual machines to support institutional adoption.
Technical Momentum Signals More Upside for BNB
BNB has broken decisively from a six-month ascending channel, clearing the $780 resistance and rallying to its all-time high.
Trading volume has surged nearly 195% to $2.9 billion, confirming robust participation from both institutions and retail traders.
With psychological levels at $900 and $1,000 now within reach, technical indicators point to a strong continuation of upward momentum as the market enters fresh price discovery.
The surge in BNB’s price—and the resulting leap in CZ’s net worth—highlights the rapid institutionalization and expanding influence of the Binance ecosystem.
With corporate treasuries accumulating BNB and the network poised for technical breakthroughs, CZ’s fortune could climb even higher, making him a key figure to watch among the ranks of the global wealth elite.
