Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang[a] (Chinese: 黃仁勳; pinyin: Huáng Rénxūn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: N̂g Jîn-hun; born February 17, 1963) is a Taiwanese and American businessman, electrical engineer, and philanthropist who is the president, co-founder, and chief executive officer (CEO) of Nvidia, the world's largest semiconductor company.[2] As of February 2025, Forbes estimated Huang's net worth at US$114.5 billion, making him the 14th wealthiest person in the world.[3]
The son of Taiwanese American immigrants, Huang spent his childhood in Taiwan and Thailand before moving to the United States, where he was a student in Kentucky and Oregon. After graduating from Stanford University, he launched Nvidia in 1993 from a local Denny's restaurant at the age of 30 and has remained president and CEO since its founding. Huang led the company out of near-bankruptcy during the 1990s and oversaw its expansion into GPU production, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence.
Under Huang, Nvidia experienced rapid growth during the AI boom and reached a market capitalization of $3 trillion, surpassing Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta.[4] In June 2024, Nvidia overtook Microsoft to be the "world's most valuable company" with a market capitalization of $3.34 trillion.[5] In 2021 and 2024, Time magazine named Huang as one of the most influential people in the world.
