About Jensen Huang in a nutshell

Jen-Hsun “Jensen” Huang born February 17, 1963, in Taiwan is a businessman, electrical engineer, and the co-founder, president, and CEO of Nvidia.

He co-founded Nvidia in 1993 at age 30 and in March 2024, it became the 3rd largest company in the world by market capitalization.

In May 2024, Forbes estimated Huang’s net worth at $100.7 billion, making him the 14th richest person in the world.

Jen-Hsun Huang was born in Tainan, Taiwan, on 17 February 1963.

His family moved to Thailand when he was five; when he was nine, he and his brother were sent to the United States to live with an uncle in Tacoma, Washington. When he was ten, he lived in the boys’ dormitory with his brother at Oneida Baptist Institute while attending Oneida Elementary School in Oneida, Kentucky.

Several years later, their parents also moved to the United States and settled in Oregon, where Huang graduated from Aloha High School in Aloha, Oregon. He skipped two years and graduated at sixteen. While growing up in Oregon in the 1980s, Huang got his first job at a local Denny’s restaurant, where he worked as a busboy and waiter.

Jensen received his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University in 1984, and his master’s degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1992.

Career

After college, Huang was the director of CoreWare at LSI Logic and a microprocessor designer at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

In 1993, at the age of 30, he co-founded Nvidia with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem and became its CEO and president. The three men founded the company in a meeting at a Denny’s roadside diner in East San Jose.

Huang has currently been the company’s chief executive for over three decades, “a tenure almost unheard of in fast-moving Sili”

He owns 3.6% of Nvidia’s stock, which went public in 1999. He earned US$24.6 million as CEO in 2007, ranking him as the 61st highest-paid U.S. CEO by Forbes.

His net worth increased from 2019 to 2024, along with the value of Nvidia’s stock, from US$3 billion in 2019 to US$90 billion (before briefly rising to US$100 billion at the end of the month).

Donations

In 2022, Huang donated US$50 million to his Alma mater, Oregon State University, as part of a US$200 million donation to create a super-computing institute on campus.

Huang gave his other Alma mater, Stanford University, US$30 million to build the Jen-Hsun Huang School of Engineering Center. The building is the second of four that make up Stanford’s Science and Engineering Quad.

Huang gave his Alma mater Oneida Baptist Institute US$2 million to build Huang Hall, a new girls’ dormitory and classroom building.

Huang and AMD Chair and CEO Lisa Su(also born in Taiwan) are relatives. Huang’s mother is the youngest sister of Su’s maternal grandfather, making them first cousins.
