This afternoon, Ma Huateng once again briefly topped the list of China's richest people. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, at 9:50 a.m. on February 17, Beijing time, Tencent Holdings co-founder Ma Huateng briefly surpassed Nongfu Spring founder Zhong Suisui and once again became the richest man in China with a net worth of US$56.9 billion; but Tencent later gave up some of its gains.
Since last year, Tencent's stock price has continued to rise, and founder Ma Huateng has been one of the biggest winners of the stock market rebound. His wealth has increased by nearly 50% to US$51 billion. Tencent also benefited from the recent hit game "Black Myth: Wukong".
The rise in Ma Huateng's net worth is mainly due to the fact that Tencent's recent performance has been better than that of its competitors, which has promoted the substantial growth of Ma Huateng's wealth.
From the success of popular games such as "Dungeon Fighter" mobile game to the much-anticipated "Black Myth: Wukong", as well as policy support, Tencent's performance has returned to the level at the peak of the Internet industry during the epidemic.
With the popularity of artificial intelligence, Tencent has once again stood on the forefront and has been praised by many institutions as the top of the seven technology giants in China.
