Wang Wenjing Net Worth

Wang Wenjing has an estimated net worth of $2 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Wang Wenjing profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is down from a peak of $6.6 billion.

Wang Wenjing is a Chinese businessman and a pioneer of the country's software industry. He founded and chairs Yonyou Network Technology, once known as UFIDA, which makes accounting and enterprise resource planning software for businesses. He was born in 1964 in Shangrao, Jiangxi province, the son of a poor farmer, and Forbes describes him as self-made.

He was an excellent student and won a place at Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics at age 15. After graduating he was assigned a job in Beijing developing computerized financial software for the offices of the State Council, China's cabinet.

Outside the office his interests include wine, golf and tennis. He is one of the longest-serving founders in Chinese tech.

Wang's early government job shaped the company. He saw firsthand how much paperwork offices handled, and he believed software could do much of it faster.

How Wang Wenjing made his money

At 24, Wang quit his government job and started the company with some classmates, pooling $5500 between them. They began by selling accounting software to Chinese businesses at a time when most companies still kept their books by hand.

The company grew with China's economy. As businesses got bigger and more complex, Yonyou moved from basic accounting programs into enterprise resource planning software that manages finance, purchasing, staff and production in one system. It became one of the best-known business software makers in China and is listed on the stock market, which is where Wang's fortune comes from.

His story is one of the classic tales of Chinese tech. He went from a farming family to a government programmer to a company founder within a decade, and he has led the same business ever since. That makes him one of the industry's original founders who is still in charge.
