Founder, President & CEO of Nvidia, which he co-founded in 1993 after stints at LSI Logic and Advanced Micro Devices. The company pioneered the graphics processing unit (GPU) in 1999, an invention that initially fueled the PC gaming market before becoming the foundational technology for modern artificial intelligence. Huang has served as Nvidia's president and chief executive since its inception and sits on its board of directors. Under his leadership, Nvidia became the first company to surpass a $4 trillion market valuation, driven by insatiable demand for its AI chips. His personal fortune stems largely from the roughly 3.5% stake he holds in the company he started with two friends in a Silicon Valley diner.
