How much is Lei Jun worth in 2026?

We estimate $23 billion, and this is one of the easier fortunes to check because the main asset trades every day in Hong Kong. The latest holding we could open is from a November 2025 filing reported by Jiemian: 4,063,148,182 Class A and 1,993,631,456 Class B shares, or 23.26 percent of Xiaomi at the time. MarketScreener’s insider page shows the same total of 6,056,779,638 in August 2026, split differently between the classes. The number shifts by about $772 million every time the stock moves HK$1.

The HK$100 million vote of confidence

On 24 November 2025, Lei bought 2.6 million Class B shares at an average of HK$38.58, more than HK$100 million, The Standard reported. It made headlines as a founder backing his own stock after a slide from the June high of HK$61.45.

The stock kept sliding. Those 2.6 million shares are now worth about HK$74.4 million, a paper loss near HK$26 million, or 26 percent. On his full holding the same fall is far bigger: we calculate HK$10.06 lost per share since the HK$38.66 close that day, times 6.06 billion shares, which comes to HK$60.9 billion, or about $7.8 billion.

Against the June 2025 high the shares are down 53 percent. His stake is doing some work without him, though. Xiaomi’s share count is now 25.72 billion, so the same holding now equals about 23.5 percent, up from 23.26 percent, on our calculation.

What 2026 did to the stock

Xiaomi’s second quarter explains the mood. KrASIA reported revenue down 6.1 percent to 108.9 billion yuan, adjusted net profit down 42.6 percent to 6.2 billion yuan and smartphone shipments down 26.5 percent to 31.2 million. Cars kept growing, with 104,199 delivered, but Electrive put the operating loss of the division that holds cars and AI at 2.6 billion yuan, its second quarterly loss in a row.

He was rich before Xiaomi

Lei joined Kingsoft as an engineer in 1992. He sold Joyo.com to Amazon for $75 million in 2004. His better trade was a $1 million investment in YY in 2005, which was worth $129 million when YY listed in 2012, or 129 times the money. Both sums look small now. His current holding moves by $75 million on a stock move of about ten Hong Kong cents.

Why other estimates disagree

Mostly timing. Public estimates that were struck on different days can sit billions apart with nothing else changing, since the 52-week range runs from HK$21.30 to HK$45.08. That is $16.4 billion to $34.8 billion for the Xiaomi stake alone. Some also treat private holdings such as Shunwei differently, and we leave those at zero.

What would move the number

Xiaomi’s next quarterly results, and whether the car and AI division can return to the operating profit it posted in the second half of 2025. Every HK$1 on the share price is worth about $772 million to him.
