Jensen Huang

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang rocketed into the global top 10 with a fortune around $125 billion as his company became the indispensable infrastructure layer of the AI revolution, powering virtually every frontier AI model from ChatGPT to Gemini to Claude. Nvidia generated $79.8 billion in fiscal 2024 revenue -- up 122% year-over-year -- with data center revenue hitting $47.5 billion in a single quarter. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 in a Denny's diner booth with $40,000 in seed capital and turned it into the most valuable semiconductor company in history, briefly surpassing a $3 trillion market capitalization in mid-2024.
