CHAPTER

Jack Ma and Alibaba

Jack Ma is the founder and former chairman of the Alibaba Group, which is one of the world's biggest tech companies. He started out as an English teacher in his home city of Hangzhou, and he launched Alibaba with a group of friends from his apartment.

His super yacht is seen sporadically off the coast of Malacca. There have been questions about whether he's deliberately laying low due to feeling the heat from the authorities.
