Nvidia's market value has not changed much this year. As of the end of the year, the market value was 10.2 billion US dollars, only 400 million US dollars more than the statistics at the end of last year.

Because Nvidia's stock price is still not high, Jinbek Investment has successively obtained about 1.1% of the shares last year.

16.6% of Nvidia's shares are worth about 1.6 billion US dollars.

Tesla Motors performed very strongly last year. After the listing of new energy vehicles, its profits increased for four consecutive quarters. At the end of last year, Tesla Motors' market value exceeded 20 billion US dollars, reaching a peak of 25.6 billion, and its current market value is 22.3 billion US dollars.

It has more than doubled the market value of 8.5 billion at the end of last year.

Kimbeck Investment owns 17.4% of Tesla shares, worth about $3.8 billion.

And SpaceX performed well last year.

After four years of bidding, SpaceX and Boeing won a $6.8 billion contract for manned space projects from NASA last year.

Among them, SpaceX won a $2.5 billion contract, and its main task is to use SpaceX's "Dragon Spacecraft Generation 1" to help NASA transport astronauts and cargo to space.

After getting the NASA contract, SpaceX's stock grew rapidly in the stock market, and its current market value is about $3.6 billion.

News Corporation developed steadily last year, and its stock price did not change much, returning to around $50 billion.

1.6% of the shares are worth $800 million.

Netflix performed well last year, with a market value of over $20 billion at the end of last year and a current market value of $26 billion.

8.6% of Netflix shares under Kimbeck Investment were worth $1.8 billion at the beginning of the year.

The remaining shares of Amazon, Facebook, Ins, etc. are worth about $600 million.

Among them, the hundreds of thousands of Amazon shares bought by Link in 2008/09 are currently worth more than $400 million.

The above parts are totaled.

Last year, Spotify developed rapidly and currently has 60 million free users and 15 million paid users worldwide.

In 2013, the annual revenue was $1.28 billion and the loss was $210 million. The reason for the loss was that the Spotify platform needed to pay a large amount of royalties to record companies. Last year, the platform paid royalties to record companies as high as $933 million.

The royalties paid to Link Music alone were as high as $85 million.

Although it is losing money on the books, Spotify successfully surpassed Pandora Music Box and other peers last year and became a free music platform unicorn with a market value of about 6 billion US dollars.

Link and Evaka own 1ify shares, of which he owns 75%, worth about 750 million US dollars.

In addition, Eva Ka also made it to the Forbes Global Rich List for the first time, with a net worth of US$1.2 billion and a Forbes ranking of 1,432. Her assets mainly include Link Music shares, Spotify shares, Lionsgate Pictures shares, luxury brands, etc.

The old father-in-law is worth 2.5 billion and ranks 339th, with little change.

"Forbes" magazine believes that according to this trend, Ivaka has the opportunity to overtake her father-in-law's net worth in the next five years, and will become the only super-rich second generation to overtake her father's generation without relying on family inheritance.

Ivaca also became a role model for American upper class society.

On the small list published by Forbes magazine, Link's income in sports and music is still far ahead.

His sports income last year was approximately $850 million, including income from six boxing matches, advertising endorsements, and a 5% annual sales share of the Nike-Link sports brand.

"Forbes" magazine evaluates mainly net worth, not including cash flow on hand.

In fact, since the end of last year and the beginning of last year, Link has successively received dividends from shares of many companies, as well as profit sharing from Link Music, Lionsgate Pictures, boxing matches, music royalties, advertising, etc., totaling 1 billion U.S. dollars. After tax avoidance, the remaining The bet was less than $700 million.

The money was of no use in his hands. He gave it to Golden Shell Company for investment, and it was gradually turned into shares of many companies, including Eli Lilly, Amazon shares, Ins, etc.

Currently, Eli Lilly and Company's shares under Golden Shell Investment have increased to 3.2%, and Amazon's shares have increased to 0.55%.

Amazon's current market value is only US$141.3 billion, which is less than Alibaba's US$168 billion. While Amazon's market value will exceed US$2 trillion in ten years, Alibaba's market value will still be more than US$100 billion in ten years.

According to the current market conditions, investing in Amazon is still a good deal.

In addition, the investment team led by Ms. Kathy Wood has invested in Instagram, WhatsApp, Uber and other companies in the past few years, and has also achieved good results in recent years.

Among them, WhatsApp’s current market value is 6 billion U.S. dollars. Golden Shell invested 8 million U.S. dollars in the angel round and obtained 5.7% of the shares, worth more than 300 million U.S. dollars.

There are recent rumors that Facebook is preparing to acquire WhatsApp. If the acquisition is successful, Jin Beike will have a lot of additional funds in its name.

After getting the funds, he planned to buy a building in Manhattan, New York, similar to his old father-in-law's building, with a hotel restaurant on the lower floor, offices for Link Music, Golden Shell, and Lionsgate on the middle floor, and high-rise apartments on the top floor.

It's just that I haven't found a suitable target yet, and I'm still selecting.

"Husband, is there any bad news? Why are you frowning?"

In the mountainside villa, Ivaca came over with a gust of fragrance, hugged his neck from behind and asked.

"Too much money, I don't know how to spend it more reasonably, is this bad news?"

Link pointed to his photo in Forbes magazine, which said $19.5 billion, and was rated as the fastest-growing billionaire, the youngest billionaire in the world, a famous entrepreneur, athlete, actor, musician, philanthropist, etc.

"How about donating it? Too much money will indeed increase troubles, and we can spend a few hundred million."

Evaka gently stroked his brow with her fingers.

"I earned this money through hard work in boxing, all hard-earned money, and it's not worthwhile to donate it. Even if I want to donate it, I have to wait until I become the richest man in the world. My character is not that noble now."

"Then don't worry about it. If you trust Casey, just give the money to her and the people from Golden Shell Investment Company to manage. We only need to manage Lionsgate and Link Music."

Evaka hugged him and said.

Link thought about it and nodded in agreement.

In the past few years, Casey and the people at Golden Shell have done quite well. In the future, when we make money, we can leave it to them to operate.

As long as we continue to hold stocks of companies such as Nvidia, Tesla, Eli Lilly, and Netflix, other investment operations will not be affected much.

"I'll talk to Casey later."

Casey is now worth more than 400 million US dollars and a celebrity in Wall Street investment banks thanks to his cooperation with him.

"Dad said you became one of the top 40 richest people in Forbes. Do you want to hold a party to celebrate?"

Evaka smiled.

"Holding a party because of this? It's not appropriate. We know how much money we have. We don't need Forbes to announce it, and it's even more unnecessary to celebrate for this. But we can hold a charity party and auction some souvenirs, such as gold medals, trophies, records, etc., and donate them to the Link Charity Foundation. What do you think?"

"Okay, this is a great idea."

Evaka kissed him on the face.

Link smiled softly, put down the magazine, hugged the beauty and kissed her.

While little Margarita was taking a nap, the two of them played around on the sofa.
