According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Liang’s current net worth stands at $36 billion (up from approximately $16.7 billion), surpassing Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman. This comparison includes only companies whose primary business and the majority of revenue directly stem from AI large models, excluding diversified tech giants such as Alibaba and Tencent, as well as companies in the AI supply chain like data centers and semiconductors. The vast majority of Liang’s wealth comes from his controlling stake in DeepSeek. In June, it was reported that DeepSeek raised RMB 50 billion, achieving a valuation exceeding RMB 330 billion, with Liang personally investing RMB 20 billion. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his ownership stake has been diluted to approximately 78%. (Jinshi)
