On July 14, according to foreign media reports, after DeepSeek completed its latest funding round, founder Liang Wenfeng's personal wealth more than doubled, making him the highest-net-worth founder among global AI large model companies. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Liang Wenfeng's current net worth is $36 billion (previously about $16.7 billion), surpassing Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman. This comparison only covers companies whose main business and majority of revenue come directly from AI large models, excluding large diversified technology groups such as Alibaba and Tencent, as well as AI industry chain-related companies like data centers and semiconductors. The vast majority of Liang Wenfeng's wealth comes from his controlling stake in DeepSeek. In June of this year, DeepSeek reportedly completed a 50 billion yuan financing round, with the company valued at over 330 billion yuan, and Liang Wenfeng personally contributed 20 billion yuan. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his shareholding was diluted to approximately 78%. (Jin Shi)
