đ„ SOME PEOPLE GET SO RICH, THEY DONâT NEED TO PROVE THEYâRE RICH
The New York Times recently visited Changpeng Zhao â @CZ , the founder of Binance â at his home in Abu Dhabi.
His estimated fortune is around $114 billion, according to recent estimates.
But the photos tell a surprisingly ordinary story.
CZ works from his bed because of chronic back pain.
He drives a white Nissan SUV himself.
His kidsâ playroom is filled with toys, drawings and a Steinway piano that he admits he doesnât even know how to play. đ
And yes, he lives in a huge villa with a chef and bodyguards.
But thereâs no obsession with showing off the wealth.
Behind that seemingly ordinary lifestyle is an extraordinary journey.
Binance was hit with a $4.3 billion settlement, CZ pleaded guilty, stepped down as CEO and served four months in prison before returning to Abu Dhabi.
Today, he remains one of the most powerful figures in crypto.
Yet the image people see is not a Lamborghini collection or endless luxury flexing.
Itâs a guy driving a Nissan, working from bed, surrounded by his kidsâ toys and family life.
Maybe thatâs the ultimate flex:
When youâre so rich, you no longer need anyone to know that youâre rich. đ„
