[뉴스메이커] NVIDIA’s stock price soars … CEO Jensen Huang is set to enter the ‘world’s 20 richest people’
This is ‘News Maker’ where you meet the main characters of the news.
As the stock price of American semiconductor company Nvidia soars, CEO Jensen Huang is expected to soon join the ranks of the world’s 20 richest people.
It only took one day for Jensen Huang to earn 10.6 trillion won in assets.
What is the secret to the rapid growth of NVIDIA and Jensen Huang?
Let’s meet at the newsmaker today.
“The rate of growth is alarming.” This is a reference to the American semiconductor company NVIDIA.
NVIDIA, a leader in artificial intelligence semiconductors, has reported performance that exceeds market expectations.
Compared to a year ago, sales increased by 265% and gross profit by 769%.
After the surprise earnings announcement, Nvidia’s stock price rose more than 15% in one day.
Market capitalization also increased by KRW 360 trillion, setting a record for the largest increase in market capitalization in one day.
The Nvidia effect boosted not only the American stock markets such as the Dow, but also the Japanese and European stock markets.
People’s attention was also focused on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
This is because Jensen Huang’s asset value has increased significantly due to the surge in Nvidia’s stock price.
Jensen Huang’s net worth, which increased in just one day, is a huge amount of about 8 billion dollars, or 10.6 trillion won in Korean currency.
Jensen Huang’s assets were $13.5 billion at the beginning of last year, or 17.9 trillion won in Korean currency.
At the time, he was ranked 128th among the richest people in the world.
However, as Nvidia’s stock price rose more than fivefold due to the artificial intelligence crash, Jensen Huang’s position as the world’s richest person quickly rose to 21st place.
The reason Jensen Huang’s extraordinary success is particularly surprising is because he had a difficult childhood.
Jensen Huang, who was born in Taiwan and moved to the United States at the age of 9, suffered from all kinds of racial discrimination and violence at school.
But he was not discouraged and he was not afraid of challenges.
As a result, the current Nvidia was born.
Jensen Huang says, “I work thinking I’ll fail after 30 days.”
Where will his success story end?
