According to TechFlow, Binance founder CZ has become the richest prisoner in history and one of the richest people in the cryptocurrency field. His wealth has reached 61 billion US dollars, ranking 24th among the world's richest people, second only to Julia Koch and her family.

CZ's wealth mainly comes from his 90% stake in Binance, although he resigned as CEO in November 2023 due to a settlement with the US Department of Justice and paid a $50 million fine. Another factor is that he holds 94 million BNB tokens issued by Binance, accounting for 64% of the circulation.
