How Xiaomi makes money

Xiaomi makes most of its money selling hardware: smartphones, IoT and lifestyle products, and electric vehicles. It sells through wholesale, its own retail stores, and e-commerce, and it earns additional revenue from advertising, online games, and fintech services delivered to its user base.
