However well you did in 2024, you probably didn’t have as good a year as Jensen Huang. As co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, the company making the chips powering the AI boom, Huang saw his firm’s stock price triple and his net worth jump nearly US$80bil this year.
And that’s just the hard numbers. Fellow CEOs gush over Huang. Mark Zuckerberg called him “Taylor Swift, but for tech”. Tech industry analysts refer to him as a “rock star”. The media in Huang’s native Taiwan even coined the term “Jensanity” to describe the adulation inspired by the Nvidia boss.
