Jackie Ma of Alibaba was basically exiled for some time because he got cocky (and too powerful/rich?).

While hyping upcoming products from his conglomerate, he talked shit about the government (regulatory authority, more specifically), and he got hit.
Technically he wasn’t exiled, but “invited” to a communist party relaxation center for discussions.
Which is an objectively a good thing.
