Wang Xing is a Chinese entrepreneur in technology. He is the chairman and CEO of Meituan, a Hong Kong-listed company built through a 2015 merger between group-buying site Meituan and Dianping.com. Before that, he cofounded xiaonei.com, described as China’s first college social network, and sold it to Oak Pacific Interactive in 2006. He also served as CEO of Fanfou from 2007 to 2010 before starting Meituan in 2010.
His wealth is tied mainly to Meituan and its food delivery business. Wang helped turn the company into a major platform in mainland China, then pushed its expansion into places including Hong Kong, the Middle East and Latin America. Forbes says his net worth is $6.9 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026. Forbes also describes him as self-made, with his fortune centered on food delivery.
How Wang Xing built his fortune
Wang Xing’s money story starts with internet products he launched after returning to China. Early projects included Duoduoyou and Youzitu, which were aimed at student users. In 2005, he created Xiaonei, a Chinese version of Facebook, and the site became popular. He later sold Xiaonei in 2006 to Oak Pacific Interactive. That sale gave him an earlier win before he moved into newer consumer internet ideas.
His biggest business came next. In 2007, he created Fanfou, then in 2010 he started Meituan as a group-buying site based on Groupon’s model. Meituan later merged with Dianping in 2015, creating the company he now leads. As chairman and CEO, Wang has been central to Meituan’s push in food delivery. Forbes says he has also been expanding the business beyond mainland China into Hong Kong, the Middle East and Latin America.

On the Forbes World’s Billionaires List, his estimated net worth was $4.8 billion in 2019, then $6.4 billion in 2020, and then $26.1 billion in 2021. Those changes matched the period when Meituan had become a food-delivery heavyweight in mainland China and was already a major public company in Hong Kong.
Later, the Forbes estimate moved lower. It was $11 billion in 2022, $9.4 billion in 2023, $8.8 billion in 2024 and $14.6 billion in 2025, before the Forbes World’s Billionaires List put him at $7.3 billion in 2026.
