Jack Ma Creates His Very First Twitter Account, Announcing His Donation To The U.S

Jack Ma, the co-founder of China’s biggest e-commerce platform Alibaba, eventually has his very own account on Twitter. To your surprise, the tech magnate posted a series of photos of medical donations like face masks and COVID-19 test kits as his very first tweet on the platform. Photos revealed that a China Eastern Airlines plane is ready to deliver these boxes from Shanghai to the US.

Responding to Jack Ma’s participation and his support, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey retweeted the original post to welcome Jack Ma. As a former English teacher, the Chinese self-made billionaire dropped a line in English – “United we stand, divided we fall!”

According to Bloomberg’s data, Jack Ma now is the richest man in Asia with a net worth of over $40 billion thanks to a big slice of shares in Alibaba. Ma used to be an impoverished teacher who earned $15 per month during the early time of his life.

The Chinese billionaire claimed that he managed to ship important supplies immediately to Americans as donations after gathering them, including 500,000 COVID-19 test kits and one million face masks.

The United States is not the only country that receives donations from Ma. Prior to this, the 55-year-old billionaire has sent out millions of test kits and masks across the globe to help coronavirus-affected countries in both Asia and Europe to stand against the fast spread of the epidemic.

Early this year, the generous billionaire also spent $15 million on supporting vaccine researches.
