Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has surpassed both India's richest industrialists, Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, in terms of wealth. Let's find out how he achieved this feat...
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has recently surpassed two of India's wealthiest industrialists, Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, in terms of net worth. This surprising leap came as Nvidia's market valuation surpassed $4 trillion.
Now net worth exceeds $140 billion
According to Forbes' Real-Time Billionaires List, Jensen Huang's current net worth is approximately $141.9 billion. Mukesh Ambani is in 14th place with $115.1 billion, and Gautam Adani is in 22nd place with $68.1 billion. Huang has now reached 9th place in the list of the world's richest people.
3.5 percent stake worked wonders
Huang holds only a 3.5 percent stake in Nvidia. However, the tremendous surge in Nvidia's market capitalization has propelled his net worth to new heights. He is the largest individual shareholder in the company.
Nvidia becomes the world's most valuable AI company
Nvidia has now become the largest company in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Its market valuation has now crossed $4 trillion, which is equivalent to 75 percent of the entire Indian stock market. This valuation is larger than the entire economy of all countries except the United States, China, Japan, Hong Kong, and India.
Unprecedented increase in net worth from 2022 to 2025
In 2022, Huang's net worth was approximately $20.6 billion. In 2023, it increased to $44 billion. In 2024, this figure reached $117 billion, and now, in 2025, it has surpassed $141.9 billion. His wealth has increased more than sevenfold in just three years.
Jensen Huang's beginnings and the story of Nvidia
Huang founded Nvidia in 1993. Initially, the company worked in the field of graphics processing units (GPUs), but gradually it has strengthened its foothold in the AI, data center, and automotive sectors as well.
Nvidia's IPO came in 1999
Nvidia entered the stock market in 1999. At that time, no one thought that this company would one day be among the world's largest tech companies. But Huang's leadership skills and strategy have brought it to where it is today.
Share split made investors partners
Recently, the company split its shares, which caused the share price to drop from $1200 significantly. This step made it easier for small investors to buy the stock and led to a further increase in the company's market cap.
How he got ahead of Ambani and Adani
Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, whose main business is related to oil, gas, telecom, infrastructure, and energy sectors, rely on the traditional movements of the market. Huang, on the other hand, has taken a bet on future technology, taking his company to a height from where it is difficult to turn back.
