Colin Huang’s reign as China’s richest person only lasted about two weeks.

A slump Monday in shares of PDD Holdings Inc., the parent company of e-commerce giant Temu, sent Huang’s fortune tumbling by $14.1 billion, his biggest one-day loss ever. Huang is now the fourth-wealthiest person in China with a net worth of $35.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
