Gary Wang (born c. 1993) is an American computer programmer who was chief technology officer of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which he founded in 2019 with Sam Bankman-Fried. At the height of his success in 2022, Wang was ranked the 227th richest American in the Forbes 400, and the 431st richest person in the world by The World's Billionaires. After FTX collapsed into bankruptcy, Wang pleaded guilty to wire fraud and other charges and agreed to testify against Bankman-Fried as part of a cooperation deal that could reduce his sentence. Before co-founding FTX, Wang worked at Google Flights, building systems for the aggregation of ticket prices.
