PANews reported on February 12 that according to financial reports, the personal wealth of Liang Wenfeng, the founder of AI company DeepSeek, may increase significantly, and may even surpass that of Nvidia founder Huang Renxun. Bloomberg's survey of DeepSeek's valuation shows that its market value ranges from 1 billion to 150 billion US dollars. If the median estimate is used (2 billion to 30 billion US dollars), Liang Wenfeng's 84% stake will make him one of the top technology billionaires in Asia.

Chanakya Ramdev, founder of Canadian telecommunications company Sweat Free Telecom, believes that DeepSeek's valuation could reach half of OpenAI's, or $150 billion. Under this assumption, Liang Wenfeng's net worth would reach $126 billion, surpassing Huang Renxun and becoming a new legend in the technology world. DeepSeek's high valuation is mainly due to the market prospects of its AI technology, which is comparable to international AI giants such as OpenAI (US$300 billion) and Anthropic (US$60 billion).
