Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates Liang Wenfeng's net worth rose to $36.0
bln from about $16.7 bln after DeepSeek's latest financing, making him the
wealthiest founder among companies whose primary revenue derives from large AI
models. DeepSeek reportedly closed a 50 bln yuan funding round in June at a
valuation above 330 bln yuan; Liang personally invested 20 bln yuan. Bloomberg
estimates his stake was diluted to roughly 78%; the bulk of his wealth comes
from his controlling share in DeepSeek. The Bloomberg comparison excludes
diversified tech groups (e.g. Alibaba, Tencent) and AI-industry suppliers such
as data centers and semiconductor firms.
