Comparative news. According to foreign media reports, after DeepSeek completed the latest round of financing, founder Liang Wenfeng's personal wealth more than doubled, making him the person with the highest net worth among the founders of the big AI model in the world. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Liang Wenfeng currently has a net worth of $36 billion (previously around $16.7 billion), surpassing Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman.
