DeepSeek’s Liang Wenfeng tops Dario Amodei and Greg Brockman as richest AI founder
DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng’s net worth more than doubled after his firm’s most recent fundraising round, making the Chinese entrepreneur the world’s richest among creators of AI models.
Liang is now worth $36 billion, up from about $16.7 billion previously, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That ranks him well above Anthropic PBC co-founder Dario Amodei and OpenAI’s Greg Brockman.
In the comparison, Bloomberg looked at firms whose primary business and majority of revenue come directly from AI models. The list excludes diversified conglomerates such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
