What William Li holds
Every current holding recorded from William Li downward: outright ownership, minority stakes, joint ventures and licences, each with the stake as the source states it and the date it began. A joint venture's percentage is a share of that venture, not of the partner.
| Holding | What it is | Share | Since | What the source says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NIO | holds a stake in | not published | November 2014 | William Li (Li Bin) founded NIO in November 2014 and is its chairman and chief executive. His shareholding fell to about 11% after NIO issued additional American depositary shares in December 2020; NIO has issued shares repeatedly since, so no current percentage is asserted here. He holds Class C ordinary shares, a class NIO reports separately from its Class A shares. |
