W ang Wenmo is a Chinese billionaire who is a key early investor in and a major shareholder of the battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), the world's undisputed leader in electric vehicle batteries. While CATL was founded by Robin Zeng, Wang was a key early backer of the company. This early bet on the future of electric mobility has paid off astronomically.

As the global automotive industry began its seismic shift towards electrification, demand for high-quality lithium-ion batteries exploded. CATL, with its advanced technology and massive scale, was perfectly positioned to meet this demand, becoming the primary supplier to a who's who of automakers, including Tesla, BMW, and Volkswagen. The meteoric rise of CATL's stock price following its IPO on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange turned Wang's early-stage investment into a multi-billion dollar fortune, showcasing his acumen as a venture capitalist.
