YANDEX&MAIL.RU Company and Facebook Russia, these two companies were among the first of Wang Ye's controlled internet companies to go public.
Of course, companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon, which had already gone public, don't count, and Wang Ye did not control them; he only made strategic investments.
In particular, he planned to cash out his shares in Google and Amazon when the stock prices were right, as he did not plan to hold them long-term.
It was only the shares of Apple he planned to hold long-term, as Wang Ye clearly remembered that Apple's stock price would continue to rise over the next decade, reaching a peak market value of three trillion US dollars!
What a concept...
A few years ago, when Wang Ye invested in Apple, he spent a total of eight hundred million US dollars, buying one hundred and sixty million shares at five US dollars per share, specifically issued by Apple.
