Ma was an English teacher before starting Alibaba in 1999 and built it into a multibillion-dollar internet colossus.
His own worth has soared along with that of the company, which was valued at $420.8 billion based on its share price at the close of trading on Friday.
Ma told The New York Times that he plans to step down from the company, referring to his retirement as "the beginning of an era" rather than an end.
