How much is Zhou Qunfei Worth? Zhou Qunfei Net Worth in 2026
Zhou Qunfei’s net worth is estimated at $13.5 billion as of November 2026. This year a company she controls with her husband took out a bank loan commitment to buy more of her own stock: Changsha Qunxin spent 100.16 million yuan on 3.1 million Lens Technology shares, backed by up to 90 million yuan from CITIC Bank. At today’s price that purchase is showing a paper loss.

How much is Zhou Qunfei worth in 2026?
About $13.5 billion, by our estimate. Zhou and her husband, Zheng Junlong, are the joint controlling shareholders of Lens Technology, and with their companies they held 58.63% of it at the end of September 2026. We treat the couple, married since 2008, as one household and count the whole controlling block. The Shenzhen shares closed at 29.17 yuan on November 10, 2026, and we convert at 6.671 yuan to the dollar, the mid-market rate that day.
How we got to $13.5 billion
| Source | Our estimate | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|
| Lens Technology (HK) and the couple’s own shares | $12.23 billion | 53.19% of about 5.26 billion shares, roughly 2.8 billion shares, at 29.17 yuan. This is the 58.63% controlling block less Qunxin’s part. |
| Changsha Qunxin | $1.26 billion | 287,230,873 shares, 5.44%, after its 2026 buying. |
| Share purchase loan | minus $13 million | Our assumption that the full 90 million yuan CITIC Bank commitment was drawn. |
| Total | $13.5 billion | $13,476 million before rounding. |
Buying back in at 32 yuan
Qunxin announced the plan on April 17, 2026, with a minimum of 100 million yuan, funded by its own capital and a special share-buying loan. It finished by September 30, 10jqka reported: 3,105,461 shares for 100,158,315.30 yuan including fees. That lifted Qunxin from 5.38% to 5.44% and the controlling group from 58.57% to 58.63%.
Our calculation: the average price paid was about 32.25 yuan a share. With the stock at 29.17 yuan on November 10, the new shares are down about 9.5%. On the full controlling block, each 1 yuan move in the share price changes the couple’s wealth by about $462 million.
From a watch-glass workshop
Zhou was born in 1970 in Xiangxiang, Hunan, left school as a teenager and went to Shenzhen to work, first at a small firm making watch parts, her biography says. In 1993, at 23, she started a glass processing workshop, the forerunner of Lens Technology, which she set up in 2003, 36Kr reported. Lens listed on Shenzhen’s ChiNext board on March 18, 2015, and by that July she held about 87.9% of the shares. It added a Hong Kong listing on July 9, 2025.
Apple is the customer that matters. It accounted for 33.1 billion yuan, or 71%, of revenue in 2022 and 31.512 billion yuan, or 57.83%, in 2023, according to the same 36Kr report. Total revenue was 54.491 billion yuan in 2023.
Why other estimates disagree
Lens has two share lines, and the Hong Kong shares trade at a different price from the Shenzhen ones, so the answer depends on which price an estimate uses. Some public figures count only the shares in Zhou’s own name. Others use prices from earlier in the year, before the stock fell back.
What would move the figure
Apple’s orders first: any shift in iPhone volumes or materials flows straight into Lens revenue. A sale or pledge by the holding companies would also show up in exchange filings before it shows up in her wealth.
