  • Jack Ma wasn't born rich but now he is one of the richest men in Asia. This Bloomberg profile tells the story of how Ma started as a poor kid in China's countryside, learned English, got rejected from a job at KFC but then went on to found Alibaba, the massive e-commerce site.

      elon knows how to program. At 12 (or a young age) he programmed his first game. He mede it to the local newspapers in soth africa. He also programmed his first company zip.
      And regarding spacex, elon is a book worm and has photografic meomry, so he knows pretty much everything regardig rockets.
      Don't compare musk to this guy

      @Mennion3 Před 6 lety +24

      I think universal hate is a strong word and certainly nationalistic elements come up when history comes up. However, there are many elements they admire each other on. Japanese housewives love watching Korean dramas for example. Many young Chinese people watch Japanese anime. Japanese actually knows a lot about Chinese history in the Three Kingdoms. So there are common elements among the countries and they don't have to be in conflict.

    Jack Ma Yun (born 15 October 1964) is a Chinese business magnate, investor, and philanthropist.
    He is the co-founder and executive chairman of the Alibaba Group, a multinational technology conglomerate.
    As of August 2018, he is one of China's richest men with a net worth of US$38.6 billion, as well as one of the wealthiest people in the world.
    Ma's primary ideology was for an open and market driven economy.
    A prominent business figure, Ma is seen as a global ambassador for Chinese business and as such is frequently listed as one of the world's most powerful people by Forbes.
    In addition, he also serves as a role model for startup businesses.
    In 2017, he was ranked 2nd in the annual "World's 50 Greatest Leaders" list by Fortune.
    On 10 September 2018, he announced that he will retire from Alibaba and pursue educational charity work, effective in one year with Daniel Zhang succeeding him as executive chairman.
    Ma resigned from the position of the CEO of Alibaba Group and reportedly decided to eventually resign as chairman to focus on philanthropy.

Like empowering their citizens to improve society! A major feat that couldn't otherwise be viable without help from the people. I mean, wouldn't it be wiser for more countries to do that also? Potentially for humanities sake? Of course man, it's downright sensible.
