Nu har Zooms vd blivit en av världens rikaste
Molnbolag har sett sina aktier rusa under pandemin. Så även Zoom. Och det har gjort vd:n Eric Yuan betydligt rikare, skriver CNBC.
Zooms aktie har rusat drygt 450 procent under 2020. Redan innan årets rusning var Yuan miljardär men nu är han en av världens hundra rikaste människor. Hans aktier i det egna bolaget är värda närmare 17 miljarder dollar, skriver CNBC och hänvisar till Factset.
Hela förmögenheten uppskattas till 18,2 miljarder dollar, motsvarande cirka 151 miljarder kronor, skriver TT.

Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (or simply Zoom) is an American communications technology company headquartered in San Jose, California. It provides videotelephony and online chat services through a cloud-based peer-to-peer software platform and is used for teleconferencing, telecommuting, distance education, and social relations.Eric Yuan, a former Cisco engineer and executive, founded Zoom in 2011, and launched its software in 2013. Zoom's aggressive revenue growth, and perceived ease-of-use and reliability of its software, resulted in a $1 billion valuation in 2017, making it a "unicorn" company. The company first became profitable in 2019, and completed an initial public offering that year. The company joined the NASDAQ-100 stock index on April 30, 2020.Beginning in early 2020, Zoom's software usage saw a significant global increase following the introduction of quarantine measures adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its software products have faced public and media scrutiny related to security and privacy issues. A portion of Zoom's workforce is based in China, which has given rise to surveillance and censorship concerns.
