Andy Fang Net Worth

Andy Fang has an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Andy Fang profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is down from a peak of $2 billion.

Andy Fang is an American internet entrepreneur best known as a cofounder of DoorDash. He started the company in 2013 with Stanley Tang and Tony Xu while they were students at Stanford University. The idea began as a class project and first used the name PaloAltoDelivery.com. In the early days, the founders handled deliveries themselves. Fang later served as DoorDash's chief technology officer from May 2013 to February 2019.

His wealth is tied to DoorDash, the food delivery app he helped build. Fang now serves as the company's head of consumer engineering. DoorDash listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange in early December 2020, which turned the startup into a public company. Forbes says Fang owns about a 4% stake in DoorDash. Forbes' real-time billionaires tracker put his fortune at $1.6 billion as of October 20, 2026.

How Andy Fang built his fortune

Fang made his money through DoorDash, a company created to help local businesses handle food delivery. The founders saw that many small businesses had not solved that problem in 2013, so they built a service around it. Before the company got big, they delivered orders themselves. Fang also worked on the product side for years, first as CTO and later as head of consumer engineering.

His fortune comes from equity in the company rather than a long list of outside businesses. Forbes says he owns about a 4% stake in DoorDash, which is the main asset behind his wealth. That stake became much easier to value after DoorDash went public in early December 2020. Because DoorDash is a technology company focused on a food delivery app, its share price plays a major role in estimates of Fang's wealth.

Forbes net worth timeline

Forbes has tracked notable swings in Fang's fortune since DoorDash became a public company. On the Forbes World's Billionaires List, he was estimated at $2 billion in 2021. That fell to $1.1 billion in 2022, then moved up to $1.2 billion in 2024 and $1.5 billion in 2025. Forbes kept the same $1.5 billion figure on its 2026 World's Billionaires List before the real-time estimate moved higher.

The clearest reason in the record is DoorDash's public listing in early December 2020 and Fang's roughly 4% ownership stake. When a founder's wealth is tied closely to one public company, Forbes estimates can change as the market value of that company changes. By October 2026, Forbes' real-time tracker estimated Fang at $1.6 billion. That places him among self-made technology billionaires in the United States.
