About Me

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.

Insights

Did You Know?

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.
