Brief

	The Chinese billionaire behind teen phenomenon TikTok is a 36-year-old tech guru. Zhang Yiming's Beijing-based startup ByteDance owns TikTok, whose kaleidoscopic feeds of 15 to 60-second clips feature everything from hair-dye tutorials to dance routines and jokes about daily life.

	Zhang has built something for the world; he understands young people and their psychology.
