Alibaba founder Jack Ma is China's richest man

By Bloomberg | 29 Aug, 2014, 03.04PM IST

Jack Ma is China's richest person. The 49-year-old founder and chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd has a net worth of $21.8 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

His assets include a 7.3 per cent economic interest in China's largest e-commerce business, which is preparing for what could be the largest initial public offering in US history, and almost half of the parent of Alipay, a separate online-payment service that previously hadn't been included in his net worth ..

thats true jack ma is a copycat or whatever he is......elon musk is a creator,a true craftsman.....he created multi billion dollar industries that never existed or even thought possible before.......online wallet payment service PAYPAL,electric car company TESLA and space exploration company SpaceX.he is the architect of the future.he turns science fiction into reality.

just listen to elon musk talk on youtube is orgasmic,hes grasp of engineering and science and technology is amazing.....a man who knows whats hes doing.not this joker jack ma who only knows how to give pep talks and feel good speeches and all that philosophical bullcrap.

It's all about market size. When you create a commercial B2B portal – the concept of portal may not be original but applying it to B2B is – in the world's 2nd largest economy, the billions are there for the taking. If you're the first mover.

All that philosophical BS came after he made his pile. People like to listen to other successful people.

Arent these people you mentioned copycats too?

There's only that so many ways to invent the wheel.
Most people copy BUT they copy and innovate so not outright copycat....they developed and improved further....like how they japs did it with their cars and electrical/electronics then.
Jack Ma took proven and successful model and import wholesale to chinkland....probably only difference is with chinese translation only.
Lucky for him Prc govt got a ready big market for him....that said any Tom dck or Harry chink could have thought of that and did what he did....kudos to him for emerging top dog....I believe he has his talents....but he is not on par with the likes of bill gates....people who transformed and changed the game....jack ma is just a follower coycat

i agree,jack ma only needs to know how to bullshyt and entertain people,everything else has been done for him.configure router is only an example,hes totally computer illiterate,even a 10 year old kid probably knows more about PCs than him.

If people are willing to pay millions of dollars for your bullshit/dream/vision you will also be a successful entrepreneur.

Technical people don't get rich anymore. Only Ah nehs configure routers and servers now.

If you look at where the Japs were at in the '60s & '70s, they were doing wholesale copying from the West – with inferior quality but lower prices – cars, watches, industrial equipment, electronics, etc. 'Made in Japan' was a symbol of mediocrity, to be avoided if you had the money to buy something better. There was a standing joke that if you scratched the paint off a Jap car, you'd see 'Marie Biscuits' inscribed underneath.:smile:

It was only from the '80s onwards that Japs gave value add to their copycat products, and created new production processes like zero-defect QC, automation and robotics.

I believe that China is where Japan was in the '60s & 70s, but with a far larger market and financial clout. Give it a couple of decades more and innovation/creativity will follow.

Jack Ma has been offered Sinkaporean citizenship if he based his regional HQ in Sinkieland. That's the latest news to come out of Auntie Ho.

Jack is now already worth $21b, BEFORE IPO. What do you mean created jackshit? You ignorant fool. He made countless PRCs prosperous or at least make a decent living with his B2B business. You want to know a real example of someone who got rich while creating jackshit? Sinkie Peter Lim.

lol there is no way he made $21b before IPO....i knew about this guy from back in 2013,he was only worth 3 bil at that time and alibaba couldnt be worth more than 35 bil......there is no way Jack ma could have earned 21 bil just from running alibaba alone......alibaba's revenue was only 7.5 bil for christ sake,even with a generous profit margin of 20%,thats only 1.5 bil.and unless jack ma owned 100% of alibaba he sure as hell aint getting all the profit from alibaba.....he only owns 7% for fuck sake......the only way he could be worth 21 bil is if he unlocked the full value of alibaba and thats thru a fucking IPO.

JACK MA IS A FUCKING PHONY.....YES HES A MULTI BILLIONAIRE LIKE MARK ZUCKERBURG BUT HE SURE AS HELL DIDNT CREATE JACKSHIT.....FUCKING HELL HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE HIS HOME COMPUTER LET ALONE WRITE A SINGLE LINE OF CODE.GET UR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE U MAKE SUCH RETARDED CLAIMS.
