Changpeng Zhao, better known by the pseudonym CZ in the world of cryptocurrencies, has achieved the feat of becoming a billionaire in just 7 months. How did he achieve this tour de force? He simply created the Binance cryptocurrency trading platform, which quickly established itself as the most used in the world. Claiming over 6 million users on his platform, CZ started setting up branches of his company in 3 different countries to spread the risk.

It is worth noting that he is the only non-North American in this Top 10.
