Wang joined First International Computer (FIC) in 1982. Wang and others founded VIA in 1987 and HTC in 1997. In May 2011, Forbes ranked her, with husband Wen Chi Chen, as the wealthiest person in Taiwan, with a net worth of US$8.8 billion. In August 2012, Wang was named No. 56 on Forbes' list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women. As of 2014, she is listed as the 54th most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.
In October 2014, Cher Wang refused to accept the Final Award of the "HKIAC / A11022 arbitration" and appealed to the Hong Kong High Court (Case No.:HCCT40 / 2014) before Judge Mimmie Chan. Wang asserted that the Award was contrary to public policy. VIA product VT3421, an anti-hack chip (also named asTF376) was suspected of assisting the Chinese government in surveilling mobile devices of anti-communist and human rights activists. In a hearing before Justice Mimmie Chan, in the High Court of Hong Kong, the defense counsel maintained that the Award was in violation of Hong Kong's public order and morals. In June 2015 the Judge remised the case back to Arbitrator Anthony Neoh. The unusual case was documented by the World Arbitration News which upholds the integrity of the HKIAC arbitration process. The tribunal upheld the conviction in October 2015, and VIA lost the case for millions of dollars. The backdoor of hacking prevention chip VT3421/TF376 causes big issues in Taiwan. Eleven Legislative Senators made the suggestion to suspend the government procurement of HTC related communication products until the backdoor issue of VIA Electronics' VT3421/TF376 hacking control chip, is thoroughly investigated by the National Security Bureau and National Communication Committee. In December 2020, Taiwan High Court decided Cher Wang/VIA failed the case and put for enforcement.
In March 2015, Cher Wang took over the CEO role from Peter Chou and returned to the day-to-day operations of HTC.
In September 2017, HTC and Google announced a US$1.1 billion cooperation agreement, in which certain HTC employees will join Google, and Google will receive HTC IP through a non-exclusive licensing agreement.
Wang's Charity Foundations are holding eight investment companies' stocks with a market value of over US$200 million. A news article stated that only US$27,000 (0.000135%) had actually been donated to charity. Wang sued the reporter and the case failed in February 2018.
