Estimate

Current Assessment

Gang Ye's wealth is tied mainly to Sea Limited, where he is a co-founder, director, and chief operating officer. Sea's 2024 annual filing reported that he beneficially owned 30.4 million Class A shares as of March 31, 2025, including held shares, options, and RSUs. Valuing the economically supported portion of that stake against Sea's June 30, 2026 market close gives an estimate near $2.7 billion, with a wider range for share-price movement, taxes, and undisclosed assets or liabilities.

Key caveats

The latest source-backed ownership figure found is dated March 31, 2025.
Sea's share price is volatile, so the estimate can move materially day to day.
No reliable public evidence was found for Gang Ye's personal debt, real estate, or private investments.

Evidence gaps

Direct current Forbes or Bloomberg profile access was not available.
No post-March-2025 ownership update was found in this run.
