- Jensen Huang cofounded graphics-chip maker Nvidia in 1993 and has served as its CEO and president ever since.
- Huang owns approximately 3% of Nvidia, which he took public in 1999.
- Born in Taiwan, Huang moved to Thailand as a child, but his family sent him and his brother to the U.S as civil unrest mounted in the Asian nation.
- Under Huang, Nvidia's GPUs became dominant first in computer gaming and now in AI, propelling the company's market cap past $4 trillion in 2025.
- He's given Stanford $30 million for an engineering center and, in 2022, gave $50 million to Oregon State University for a namesake research center.
- Shortly after arriving in the U.S., Huang was sent to a boarding school in rural Kentucky for troubled youth by his aunt and uncle, who mistook it for a prep school.
- At boarding school, Huang was assigned to clean the boys' bathroom every day after class, while his brother worked on the tobacco farm.
- Huang also worked as a waiter at Denny's, which he says helped him overcome his shyness.
