The angry counterattack of the post-90s billionaires: Justin Sun sues Bloomberg
A war over wealth privacy
In the past few days, the currency circle and the financial circle have been fried. A post-90s young man actually sued Bloomberg, the world's top financial media!
This post-90s generation is none other than Justin Sun, the founder of TRON. The young man born in 1990 declared to the world in a lawsuit: I have the final say on my wealth.
The ins and outs of the matter
The story starts with Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. In order to produce this authoritative list, Bloomberg took the initiative to contact Justin Sun, hoping that he could provide detailed asset information.
Justin Sun also cooperated and submitted the data readily. But he had a condition: this information must be kept confidential.
The result? Bloomberg turned around and shook out people's family backgrounds!
The wealth figures shocked the world
It didn't matter if this shaking was done, the whole world was stunned.
Forbes estimates: $8.5 billion
Bloomberg reported: $12.4 billion
According to this number, Justin Sun has steadily entered the top 20 richest people in China. What's even more shocking is that he was born in 1990 and started from scratch!
The wealth myth of the post-90s
Think about it, a post-90s, 33-year-old, worth more than $10 billion. What is this concept?
If you include the two conditions of "post-90s" and "self-made", it is estimated that there are not even five people in the world who can surpass him.
Why is Justin Sun so angry?
Imagine that you hand over your private information to a trusted institution, and the other party promises to keep it confidential, only to be exposed to you in a blink of an eye. It felt like being stabbed in the back.
Justin Sun's anger is completely understandable. It's not about money, it's about trust being betrayed.
The significance of this lawsuit
This lawsuit is not only a personal grudge of a rich man, but also a contest over wealth privacy.
In the information age, to what extent should the wealth information of the rich be disclosed? Does the media have the right to compulsory disclosure? These are questions worth pondering.
Justin Sun's legendary life
Putting this lawsuit aside, Justin Sun's life itself is a legend.
From graduating from Peking University, to founding TRON, to becoming one of the youngest billionaires in the world. His every step is full of controversy, but also legend.
