Binance founder CZ shared insights into his early life struggles after immigrating to Canada during an interview on The All-In Podcast. He recounted how his father worked as a university teaching assistant with a monthly salary of just 1,000 CAD, and the family lived in modest faculty housing. His mother began working in a sewing factory just three days after arriving in Canada, a job she held for seven to ten years. At 14, CZ took a job at McDonald's, earning $4.50 per hour, marking his first income.
