Jensen Huang, who is not known three years ago three years ago, is now one of the most powerful entrepreneurs in the world as head of the chip giant Nvidia.

The modest 62-year-old attracts stadium quantities of more than 10,000 people, while the products of his company exceed the limits of artificial intelligence.

Chips designed by Nvidia and are referred to as graphics cards or GPUs (graphics processing units) are of essential importance for the development of generative artificial intelligence technology such as chatt.

The insatiable appetite of Big Tech on the Nvidia GPUS, which is sold for tens of thousands of dollars, has catapulted the California chip maker over 4 trillion dollars. The first company ever exceeds this brand.

Nvidia’s meteoric rise increased Huang’s personal assets to 150 billion US dollars – which makes him one of the richest people in the world – thanks to the approximately 3.5 percent of the company in the company that he founded three friends in a diner from Silicon Valley three decades ago.

In a clear demonstration of his punch, he recently convinced President Donald Trump to increase the restrictions for certain GPU exports to China, although China is locked up in a struggle with the United States for AI pre -disruption.

“That was made brilliant,” said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a governance professor at Yale University.

Huang was able to explain Trump that “the world with a US tech platform as a core protocol is definitely in the interest of this country” and will not help the Chinese military, said Sonnenfeld.

– Early life –

Jensen Huang (originally called Jen-Hsun) was born in Taipei in 1963 and embodies the American success story. At the age of nine, he was sent away to the boarding school in Kleinstadt Kentucky with his brother.

His uncle recommended the school to his Taiwanese parents that it was a respected institution when it was actually a school for restless young people.

Too young to be a student, Huang climbed there and attended a nearby public school next to the children of the tobacco farmers. With his poor English, he was bullied and forced to clean toilets-a two-year-old torture that transformed him.

“We worked very hard, we studied very hard and the children were very hard,” he said in an interview with the US broadcaster NPR.

But “the end of the story is that I loved the time I was there,” said Huang.

Brought by his parents, who had previously settled in the northwestern US state of Oregon, he completed the university with only 20 and joined AMD, then LSI logic to design chips -his passion.
