Meet the 'reclusive' tech billionaire making an audacious bid to buy TikTok

AppLovin CEO Adam Foroughi.

AppLovin

• AppLovin is in the mix to buy TikTok and save the vertical video app from a US ban.
• Adam Foroughi, AppLovin's founder, is an uncharacteristically low-key tech billionaire.
• Foroughi's getting used to the spotlight as the $100 billion-plus company makes its biggest bet yet.

Adam Foroughi tends to eschew the typical trappings of a billionaire.

He has one car, and would rather it were self-driving. He rarely appears on TV or conference stages.
