The founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), may have earned over $25 million per day during his four-month prison sentence, according to an investigation. However, there are conflicting estimates regarding CZ's wealth during his time in prison. Forbes suggests that his net worth may have increased significantly, possibly earning him billions of dollars, while Bloomberg estimates that his wealth actually decreased during his incarceration. Forbes includes CZ's crypto assets in their calculation, while Bloomberg focuses on valuing private companies and cites the volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets. The true figures are difficult to determine as CZ's wealth is mostly tied up in private equity, and he is not required to disclose his assets. CZ was sentenced to prison and resigned as Binance's CEO after pleading guilty to charges of violating the Bank Secrecy Act.
