BNB——Binance's (币安) native token——has just reached a new high of $844.17, rising about 20% in the past two weeks. This surge has sparked market speculation: Zhao Changpeng (CZ) may have surpassed Bill Gates and entered the ranks of the world's wealthiest people.

According to estimates by Bloomberg and Forbes, CZ's net worth is between $60 billion and $136 billion, which includes his holdings in Binance and the 94 million BNB he owns. Considering his substantial Bitcoin purchases in 2013, CZ's net worth is likely to exceed that of Bill Gates ($124 billion) and Michael Dell ($136 billion).

Although these figures remain speculative and BNB's liquidity is low (making it difficult to sell all at the current price), BNB reaching an all-time high undoubtedly propels CZ back onto the global financial stage, becoming a symbol of the cryptocurrency rebound.
