The biggest IPO in history, who made Alibaba's rich myth?

Before Alibaba went public, the largest IPO in the US capital market was VISA, a credit card company, followed by Facebook, a social media company, which raised $654.38+0.78 billion and $654.38+0.6 billion respectively. With Alibaba finally finalizing the initial listing price, whose carnival is this capital feast finally has a clear answer:

-Ma Yun: It is expected to become the "new richest man" in the mainland with a value of more than 20 billion US dollars. Alibaba's prospectus disclosed that Ma Yun's shareholding ratio was 7.8% after listing, corresponding to the increasing equity value. Together with nearly half of the dividends from Alipay's parent company, the 50-year-old "new economy" spokesperson is expected to become the new richest man in Chinese mainland.

-Sun Zhengyi: The return on investment of 500 times can be called "the most profitable". As the major shareholder of Alibaba, Sun Zhengyi's Japanese Softbank Group holds 32.4% of the shares. According to this calculation, Sun Zhengyi is also expected to become the richest man in the world after listing.

Tracing this investment back to the early stage of Alibaba's development, from 2000 to 2003, Sun Zhengyi injected a total of about $65,438 billion in venture capital into Alibaba. According to the market value of the issue, the ten-year return rate of this investment is more than 500 times.

-Cai Chongxin: The "most expensive wage earners" earn $700,000 a year and are worth more than $6 billion. With the listing of enterprises, Cai Chongxin, vice chairman and chief financial officer of Alibaba Group, will become the "most expensive wage earner".

According to the issue market value, Cai Chongxin's shareholding and shareholding ratio are 83,499,896 shares and 3.6% respectively, and the value of the shares exceeds US$ 6 billion. Cai Chongxin once said that 15 years ago, he gave up the $700,000 annual salary of overseas companies to work for Ma Yun for many years. In fact, today's entrepreneurs can return home with a full load in the world's largest capital market as long as they are allocated the equity of Alibaba according to the proportion of one thousandth.

15 myth: international capital is the biggest winner.

Internet giants, such as Baidu, Tencent, Sohu, Netease and so on, usually take five years from their establishment to listing. The fastest is Sina, which took less than 2 years. Alibaba, which is often mentioned side by side with Baidu and Tencent, listed some of its businesses on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange independently after 8 years of business, and officially landed in the US stock market 15 years later.

After Alibaba went public, according to internet society of china's ranking, China's top ten Internet companies-Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Netease, Sohu, Sina, Qihoo, Shanda, Giant and Perfect World all chose to go public overseas. International capital has become the biggest winner in the listing of Internet companies in China.

"Compared with other countries, more companies in China are listed overseas." Liu Yi, senior vice president of Shadan Capital, an American investment bank, said that the actual sharers of the "new economic dividend" of the rapid development of China's Internet economy are mostly overseas investors, and this is still the case.

On the other hand, Internet companies listed overseas are mostly foreign-funded "wage earners". From the perspective of Tencent, Sina, Sohu and other enterprises, dancing with international capital is also the same gene of most Internet companies. For example, the largest shareholder of Tencent is Milad International Holding Group, accounting for 33.66%, while Ma only holds 10. 14%.
