Jack Ma suddenly released a “check-in” photo in Thailand, the Chinese tech tycoon started to re-appear?

Recently, the co-founder of Alibaba was caught appearing at many locations in Thailand.

Jack Ma used to be the richest billionaire in the country of billions of people. He is the co-founder of Alibaba and Ant Group, two businesses that are said to be “powerful in the private sector” with ratings outperforming any US company, except for the three giants Apple, Amazon and Google.

However, the Chinese government in 2020 suspended Ant Group’s $35 billion IPO share issuance. Alibaba was also fined $2.8 billion for violating antitrust laws.

Jack Ma has also repeatedly commented on China’s technology and financial regulations. He once compared the country’s banking system to just a “pawn shop”. He even declared that the Basel Global Banking Agreement was simply a “club” for the elderly.

Since then, Jack Ma’s fortune has plummeted and the business field has shrunk significantly. He was closely “watched” and rarely appeared in public. Every move of the billionaire is always a topic of interest to everyone.

Currently, Jack Ma has a net worth of 33.8 billion USD. He is China’s fourth-richest person, according to data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. In 2022, he is said to live in Japan.
