but,
Before the signing ceremony of the Warriors, Forbes first released the list of the richest people in the world. The anticipation of the signing ceremony turned into another matter in an instant, and Zhou Jiexi once again pushed Zhou Jiexi to the top of the media trend.
That is the latest survey released by Forbes, the new issue of the world's richest list.
In the newly released 2010 Global Rich List, Mexican telecommunications giant Carlos Slim Helu (Carlos Slim Helu) surpassed Bill Gates to become the new richest man in the world this year, with a wealth of US$53.5 billion. The richest man changed hands for the third time.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhou Jiexi, but he is a bit conspicuous in it. Everyone will notice him, it's just a matter of time.
In addition, Slim's wealth reached 53.5 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 18.5 billion U.S. dollars compared to last year.
Ranked second on the rich list is Bill Gates, whose wealth is 53 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 13 billion U.S. dollars compared to last year.
Ranked third is Warren Buffett, whose wealth is US$47 billion, an increase of US$10 billion compared to last year.
In fact, in the past year, the assets of many rich people around the world have risen sharply. This year, the average net worth of those on the Forbes Global Rich List is US$3.5 billion, an increase of US$500 million from a year ago.
There are now 1,011 10-figure billionaires worldwide, up from 793 a year ago but still down from 1,125 in 2008. Of all the billionaires who made it to the list last year, only 12% experienced a decline in net worth.
These are just the statistics that the media needs, and Zhou Jiexi is hidden among these hundreds of rich people, especially his ranking is not low.
At present, Forbes only calculates him based on the real estate he owns, plus stocks. However, the several companies he owns are not so easy to calculate when they are not listed.
Among them, the Apple stock he owns is already worth more than 4 billion US dollars, and the value of Facebook is more than 700 million.
The price of his real estate and houses is also quite a lot. Last year, the price of 1.5 billion US dollars mortgaged to the Bank of America has increased this year.
Among them, the farm he owns is already worth more than 700 million US dollars. This is the brand that owns Fairy Watermelon. This year is the first year, and the evaluation agency cannot guarantee whether anyone can grow the same product as Fairy Watermelon.
Therefore, they only gave a value-added market price of 500 million U.S. dollars to a farm whose price should have been close to 2 billion U.S. dollars.
In fact, everyone knew that this was just an underestimation. If Zhou Jiexi really wanted to buy it, the price would only be higher. But even so, it can be regarded as a skyrocketing price.
The real estate he owns has suddenly changed from the original 1.5 billion US dollars valued by the Bank of America to the current 2.1 billion US dollars.
The real estate on Fifth Avenue has also increased in value this year. The store owned by Zhou Jiexi was bought by the Japanese brand Uniqlo next door. After hitting a new high, the price of his store has also climbed up. There is also that rental apartment, the land price has already risen, and it can provide ITA with more than 10 million cash every year, which is the most important thing.
There are also the recently popular Sky Games Company, and the social software Tom Cat. Forbes gave a valuation calculated by them and several appraisal agencies, and the two estimated the value at 2.8 billion US dollars.
In addition to western restaurants and fast food restaurants, there are still some private investments that cannot be calculated. There are also security companies, the shares of the Warriors that can already be counted, and his shares in the British Arsenal football team. Even if he sent a representative there, he rarely visited it.
Forbes deducted the US$1.5 billion he borrowed from the Bank of America. At this stage, Forbes gave Zhou Jiexi's wealth of US$9.7 billion and ranked 73rd.
But the most conspicuous thing is that this is the youngest person in the top 100 list.
These are not too much attention at the beginning, and most of the eyes of everyone are looking at the gap between the first and second. Until the release of another Forbes Global Young Rich List released together, Jessie Zhou became popular, and Mark Zuckerberg also became popular.
In this way, the two youngest rich men in the world were born. One is a young man who has a net worth of 9.7 billion US dollars, ranks 73rd in the world, and is still rising.
A Mark Zuckerberg who owns Facebook shares worth 4 billion U.S. dollars and ranks 213th.
One was only twenty-three years old, and the other was only twenty-five years old. This is the age when most people are still in school or graduate school. They became billionaires, occupying a strong spot on the list of the world's richest people whose average age is in their sixties.
As soon as the Forbes report came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole United States.
On the list of young rich people in the world, he is not only the youngest, but also has the most assets. The above also introduced his journey, which looks a bit unbelievable, but it feels like this kind of guy is able to do this.

The introduction about him is actually not very comprehensive, and Zhou Jiexi didn't penetrate into it. So Forbes also wrote that Jesse Zhou lived in China since he was a child, until he came to the United States last year after he received a gift from an elderly Chinese American.
However, he did not start to squander money and enjoy life after owning a huge amount of property as people imagined. Instead, he made an even crazier investment. He dismantled the perfect investment portfolio left to him by Mr. Bud Chen. Dissatisfied with enjoying what he has now, he started a crazy investment model.
Selling the rising Google stock and several other stocks at the time, he raised hundreds of millions of dollars and began to buy Apple stocks in an all-round way. God knows why he is so optimistic about this company, although they are indeed doing very well now.
However, these still did not satisfy the young man. Instead of enjoying the luxurious life of a rich man, he began to mortgage the real estate he acquired to the established American bank, Bank of America. 1.5 billion U.S. dollars were withdrawn from this bank.
Then began another round of acquisitions of Apple's stock. During this period, he also used the money to invest in Facebook, and obtained 5.2% of Facebook's shares with cash and ideas in his mind. Now this part of the flying stock has a market value of 750 million US dollars.
According to reliable sources, the fluctuation of Apple's stock price in October last year was caused by this young man. The turmoil obviously stimulated the rising Apple stock, and the stock did not rise during that period.
However, this also caused a headache for Apple's board of directors. With the huge stock in its hands, Apple made a correct choice. He was recruited to the company's board of directors. Not only the current Mr. Steve Jobs agreed to this proposal, but also the top board of directors.
Obviously this has helped them a lot. Jesse Zhou conquered the directors present with his brain, and Jobs hoped that he would stay in the company, even if he paid some shares for it.
But this is obviously impossible. He is an ambitious young man, unwilling to just invest, and strange ideas are constantly bursting out in his mind.
Jesse Zhou then relied on his own creativity to establish the most popular game company, Sky Games. Released several of the most popular games on the market, from Angry Birds, to Watermelon Swordsman, Temple Escape, Fishing Machine, etc. Almost when you have a mobile phone, you will own his company’s games, some of which are One, some will be all.
According to statistics, users in the United States who own smartphones will bring Jessie Zhou an income of one dollar or even ten dollars. And this is just data that has not been counted in other parts of the world. We can imagine that the market value of Sky Games will show stronger growth in the future.
And this also included Tom Cat, who was just learning to speak at the time. This software, now worth more than a billion dollars, was just an idea in his mind at the time. In the sky game company, it is just a simple game.
But Jesse Zhou, using the novel idea in his mind, turned him into a dating platform and virtual item sales point. In the end, it was developed into an instant chat software, which turned into a better sharing platform than Twitter.
Under his whimsy, a small game has become a company with a market value of 1.5 billion US dollars. According to the report given by Wall Street, this price is only temporary.
The advantage of Tom Cat over Twitter is that it now has a profit model, and it also has the attention of major children's consumer companies. As long as it intends to raise funds, the market value can be doubled or several times immediately.
Jesse Zhou has been very successful in these investments and entrepreneurship, which also proves that giving him a fulcrum can move the earth. Using the funds in his hand, he successfully multiplied them several times, proving that he is not a person who lives on this gift.
After the release of the two Forbes lists and the introduction, Jessie Zhou's Facebook and Tom Cat fans have risen in a straight line. All of a sudden he had more than 3 million Facebook fans, and Tom Tom had 800,000 fans all of a sudden.
Because of these introductions, summed up, it seems to have become an American dream. A once ordinary young man came to the United States and achieved success through his own efforts. He proved himself and got spiritual sublimation.
So this is also a reason for excitement, making the number of fans and members continue to grow amidst media reports. Let the employees of Tom Cat Company very excited. And the people on Twitter are depressed. People who plan to invest in Tom Cat have only one thought in their minds, that is, the price is estimated to grow again, what a fuck!
