&lt;p&gt;Last week, when Alibaba went public in the&#160;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-22/alibaba-s-banks-said-to-increase-ipo-size-to-record-25-billion.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;largest IPO in history&lt;/a&gt;, thousands of current and former employees of the Chinese e-commerce company became millionaires.
