$100B+. Founded at Denny's. NVIDIA: $3.3T peak. Leather jacket is iconic.
NVIDIA's CEO went from running a graphics card company to running the most important company in AI infrastructure. Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993 at a Denny's restaurant; by 2024, NVIDIA briefly became the most valuable company on Earth at $3.3 trillion. His personal net worth exceeded $100 billion, driven by his 3.5% stake in NVIDIA. He still wears his signature leather jacket to every keynote. Huang's compensation in 2024 was $34 million in disclosed pay, but his real wealth comes from stock appreciation — NVIDIA rose 3,400% from 2019 to 2024.
