That's quite the prediction. I have been following Alibaba for a while now and it is an incredible phenomenon. What you predict might very well come true.

Reading up on Jack Ma is time well spent.

Didn't he retire from Alibaba? He's listed as the CEO on the F-1 so I presume not but he announced his intention to step down quite publicly at some point.

He (Jack Ma) stepped down and Jonathan Lu is now CEO http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-17/alibaba-ceo-lu-rise...

Right, the F-1 lists Jack Ma as "Executive Chairman", so he's leading the board rather than the company.
