He is a Chinese entrepreneur who rose to prominence as the co-founder and chairman of the Alibaba Group . Also a philanthropist, Ma is the richest man in Asia and one of the richest men in the world whose story has inspired many people. Here’s everything you need to know about him.

Jack My Biography

Although he is more popular than Jack Ma, he was also Ma Yun, the boss of the Alibaba Group, was born on September 10, 1964 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province of China. Growing up was not easy for Ma, due to many challenges including the rejection and persecution he and his family faced because his family was tied to the National Party.

More so, even as he would grow up to be among the richest men in the world, he grew up in poverty alongside his two siblings: an older brother and a younger sister. Due to poverty and the search for opportunities, Jack Ma decided to learn English at an early age to work as a guide and interpreter for tourists, which helped him raise funds.

For his upbringing, Ma Yun started out as what many people would have no problem defining as a failure. It’s like at most stages that he couldn’t pass his exams. In fact, he revealed that he faced failure twice in his elementary school test and three times in his elementary school test. In the same way, he failed his college entrance exams twice more. What is more interesting is that he was interested in studying at Harvard, but the university rejected him for the 10 attempts he made because he constantly failed exams.

He always went ahead to attend Hangzhou Teacher’s Institute (now Hangzhou Normal University) where he studied English language. Much later, he attended Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business.

Before going into business, Ma worked as a lecturer for some time receiving only $12. Seeing the opportunity presented by the internet, he started a number of things online before later establishing his online store, Alibaba. It was in the 1990s. The next thing for him was to generate funds to run his business, but again he encountered an obstacle that had always hindered him, investors thinking that he was applying a model economy that would never be profitable.

But then, time would show that he has everything as he was able to build one of the most successful e-commerce businesses, giving him a net worth of billions of dollars. It would then be extended to other sites such as Taobao.

Family – wife (Cathy Zhang), daughter and son

As noted, Ma Yun came from a rather small family with her parents and two other siblings.

Jack Ma has been married to Cathy Zhang for a very long time. In fact, she was there when he started his business and also helped start the business by investing in it and giving other help. Although it is not known when they got married, it is known that they met when they were still in college. Shortly after, the two got married.

Cathy Zhang and her husband who she said can’t be handsome but she fell in love with him because he could do what many handsome men couldn’t. He worked for a while as a speaker before deciding to go the corporate route.

The union between the two was blessed with two children: Ma Yuankun (a son) and Ma Yuanbao (a daughter). Ma Yuankun, born in 1992 and nicknamed Jerry Ma, graduated from the University of Berkeley in California.

Height and width

Although he is one of the richest and most influential men out there, he is not necessarily the man with the height or even an athletic build. In numbers, he stands at a height of 1.65m. His body weight and general body measurements have not been provided in the public domain.
