Wang Xuning (Chinese: 王旭宁; pinyin: Wáng Xùníng; born 1969), also known as CJ Xuning Wang, is a Chinese billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist . He is the founder of Joyoung, a Chinese kitchen appliance company, and currently serves as the chairman of JS Global Lifestyle and SharkNinja, both global consumer appliance groups.
Wang studied electrical engineering at Beijing Jiaotong University and followed his parents into teaching after graduation. Wang left his teaching job in 1994 and soon invented the first automated home soymilk maker that year, which laid the foundation for the Joyoung brand. Joyoung has since become one of China's best-known names in small kitchen appliances.
In 2017, Wang acquired SharkNinja. Wang believed Joyoung’s experience could unlock the company’s potential. His expansion plan included broadening SharkNinja’s product portfolio, strengthening its supply chain, and modernizing its sales channels.
In 2019 SharkNinja merged with Joyoung to form JS Global Lifestyle. In the same year, JS Global publicly listed in Hong Kong. In 2023 Wang spun off SharkNinja for a direct listing in New York.
Since Wang acquired the company in 2017, SharkNinja increased its number of employees fourfold, reaching over 4,100 in 2026, mostly centered in the US but also across Europe and Asia-Pacific. Its annual revenue also grew from $1.3 billion to $6.4 billion over the same period.
In 2017, Wang made a philanthropic contribution to Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio, which led to the naming of the Wang Innovation Center, a facility focused on creativity and hands-on learning. In 2026, his CJ Wang Foundation committed more funds to double the size of the facility and rename it the Wang Makerspace.
He also contributed to charitable causes in China. In 2021, Wang donated 50 million RMB to the Joyoung Public Welfare Foundation, which supports education and nutrition initiatives at elementary schools in rural China.
