TikTok’s wild popularity has helped Zhang Yiming, the 41-year-old cofounder of the social network’s parent company ByteDance, become China’s richest person.

TikTok 爆火，助力其母公司字节跳动的联合创始人、现年41岁的张一鸣成为中国首富。

According to Hurun Research Institute’s Hurun China Rich List① 2024 released Tuesday, Zhang sits atop the list of the country’s wealthiest people for the first time with a reported net wealth of $49.3 billion. He usurped Zhong Shanshan, founder of bottled water giant Nongfu Spring, from the top of the list, a spot he held for three years.

10月29日，胡润研究院发布的“2024胡润百富榜”显示，张一鸣以493亿美元（折合人民币约3500亿元）净资产首度占据榜首，取代了此前连续三年蝉联首位的瓶装水巨头农夫山泉的创始人钟睒睒。

ByteDance, which also owns news platform Toutiao and TikTok’s Chinese sister app Douyin, is estimated to have a valuation topping $225 billion, having brought in $110 billion in revenue last year. TikTok alone is responsible for about $100 billion of the company’s value. The US intends to ban TikTok in January 2025 unless ByteDance sells it. Despite facing that intense pressure in the US, ByteDance’s global profit increased by 60% last year.

字节跳动旗下除 TikTok 外，还拥有新闻平台今日头条及 TikTok 中国版——抖音。据估算，该公司市值已突破2250亿美元。过去一年，字节跳动创造了1100亿美元的营收，其中，仅 TikTok 就贡献了约1000亿美元。美国计划于2025年1月对 TikTok 实施封禁，除非字节跳动将其出售，否则难以避免。尽管在美国面临巨大压力，字节跳动去年的全球利润仍实现了60%的显著增长。

“Zhang Yiming is the 18th new Number One we have had in China in just 26 years,” said head of Hurun Rupert Hoogewerf②. “The US, by comparison, has only four Number Ones: Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.” “This gives an indication of some of the dynamism in the Chinese economy.”

胡润百富董事长兼首席调研官胡润表示：“短短26年间，我们已见证了18位中国首富的诞生，张一鸣是最新的那位。相比之下，美国仅诞生了4位首富：比尔·盖茨、沃伦·巴菲特、杰夫·贝索斯和埃隆·马斯克。这在一定程度上彰显出中国经济在蓬勃发展。”

It was a successful night for Spanish soccer at the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony—the annual soccer awards celebrating the best players in the men’s and women’s game. Manchester City and Spain midfielder② Rodri won his first Ballon d’Or, while Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmatí won her second consecutive Ballon d’Or Féminin during Monday’s presentation.

在今年的金球奖颁奖典礼上，西班牙足球大放异彩。金球奖这一年度奖项，旨在表彰男子与女子足球中表现最优秀的球员。10月28日的颁奖典礼上，曼城的西班牙中场罗德里首次荣获金球奖，效力于巴塞罗那的西班牙球星艾塔纳·邦马蒂则蝉联了女子金球奖。

Rodri had an exceptional 2024 and was crucial to both Manchester City’s and Spain’s success throughout the year. Manchester City won a record fourth consecutive Premier League title in 2024 and Spain were crowned champions at Euro 2024 this summer. Rodri credited his improvement in the final third③ in helping him win the award. The 28-year-old also thanked his club and international teammates for their part in his individual success.

罗德里在2024年的表现十分出色，为曼城俱乐部和西班牙国家队立下了汗马功劳。曼城在2024年实现了史无前例的英超四连冠，西班牙国家队则在2024年夏天夺得了欧洲杯冠军。罗德里表示，他在进攻三区进步明显，这是他赢得这一奖项的重要原因。这位28岁的球员还感谢了他所在的俱乐部和国际队友们，他个人的成功离不开他们的支持。

Bonmatí was once again crucial to Barcelona Femení’s success this year and won her second consecutive Ballon d’Or award. The midfielder helped lead Barcelona Femení to its first ever quadruple-winning titles in Liga F, the Champions League, the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa de la Reina. Hollywood star Natalie Portman was on hand to present Bonmatí with her award. Bonmatí beat out Barcelona Femení teammates Caroline Graham Hansen and Salma Paralluelo to the award. Graham Hansen finished second with Paralluelo in third respectively.

今年，邦马蒂不仅再次成为巴塞罗那女足的关键人物，还成功蝉联了女子金球奖。这位中场球员带领球队首次包揽四项冠军——西甲联赛、欧冠、西班牙超级杯和女王杯。颁奖典礼上，好莱坞明星娜塔莉·波特曼亲自为邦马蒂颁奖。邦马蒂击败队友卡罗琳·格雷厄姆·汉森和萨尔玛·帕拉略洛，荣膺该奖项，格雷厄姆·汉森排名第二，帕拉略洛位列第三。
