TechFlow news, July 14, according to foreign media reports, after DeepSeek completed its latest financing round, founder Liang Wenfeng's personal wealth more than doubled, making him the wealthiest founder among founders of global large AI models. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Liang Wenfeng's current net worth stands at $36 billion (previously about $16.7 billion), surpassing Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman.
This comparison only covers enterprises whose main business and majority of revenue come directly from large AI models, excluding large technology groups with diversified businesses such as Alibaba and Tencent, and does not include companies related to the AI industry chain such as data centers and semiconductors. The vast majority of Liang Wenfeng's wealth comes from his controlling stake in DeepSeek. In June this year, DeepSeek reportedly completed a 50 billion yuan financing round, with a company valuation exceeding 330 billion yuan, and Liang Wenfeng personally contributed 20 billion yuan. According to calculations by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his shareholding ratio was diluted to approximately 78%. (Jin10)
