Shein's CEO, Sky Xu, has seen his net worth decrease by approximately $15 billion due to the company's significantly lower valuation at its Hong Kong IPO compared to its peak in 2022. The fashion retailer's market debut is set at a valuation of just over a quarter of its previous $100 billion worth, reducing Xu's stake to about $8 billion.
