Chinese firm Alibaba's CEO, Jack Ma is Asia's richest man with net worth going beyond $46.9 billion. 

Being one of the wealthiest men, Jack Ma feels that there's a huge downside to being so rich.

In his interview with Bloomberg last month, he said that he does not have enough time to spend his money. 

"How much money can you spend in your life?" he asks when people give him advice on how to spend.

“People say, ‘Jack, you can spend money better than government, better than the other guys. So you have all the assets. How can you spend better?’ How much money can you spend in your life?” Jack Ma said.

His firm, Alibaba’s revenue in the fiscal year ending in March 2017 rose to 56% to $23 billion. 

According to Forbes, Jack Ma is the richest person in Asia and 18th richest man in the world.

However, it seems like he does not enjoy being the wealthiest man on the continent. 

In 2014, Jack Ma while giving an interview on CNBC said that the richest people get surrounded by everyone asking for money. "When you’re (the) richest person in the world, everybody (is) surrounding you for money".

Meanwhile, this year was started on a great note for Chinese firm Alibaba. The company's stock witnessed a surge since January and lately the firm has been valued more than $400 billion, slightly behind from Amazon.

To celebrate the success and Alibaba's 18th anniversary Jack Ma decided to steal the spotlight.

In an elaborated stage performance he gave a tribute to Michael Jackson. He arrived on stage by riding a motorcycle in a black and golden mask before started performing on Jackson's Billie Jean.

After his performance he invited other Alibaba executives to dance on 'Black and White', another famous number of the king of pop.
