About Joseph Tsai
Joseph Tsai is a cofounder of Alibaba Group and ranks as its second-largest individual shareholder after Jack Ma.
He rose from vice chairman to chairman in 2023 amid rising competition for the e-commerce giant.
In 2024, five years after becoming the owner of NBA team Brooklyn Nets, Tsai sold 15% of its parent company BSE Global to American billionaire Julia Koch and her family for nearly $700 million.
He holds two degrees from Yale University--an undergraduate degree in economics and East Asian studies and a law degree.
Taiwan-born Tsai carries a Canadian passport.
