My Take
Jensen Huang is, to me, the most quietly consequential figure of this era. Born in Tainan, schooled as an engineer at Oregon State, he spent decades betting on parallel computing long before the world understood why it mattered, and turned Nvidia into the most valuable company on earth. What I admire is that he reads as a craftsman first and a tycoon second; the leather jacket and the relentless focus suggest someone who genuinely loves the machine. His staggering fortune interests me far less than his conviction. I see him not as a winner who arrived, but as a builder who kept wagering on a future few else believed in.
Overview
Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang (Chinese: 黃仁勳; pinyin: Huáng Rénxūn; Wade–Giles: Huang2 Jên2-hsün1; Tâi-lô: N̂g Jîn-hun; born February 17, 1963) is a Taiwanese and American business executive and electrical engineer who is the founder, president, and CEO of Nvidia, the world's most valuable company. As of 2026, Forbes estimates his net worth at over US$200 billion, making him the seventh-wealthiest individual in the world.
