Jensen Huang, the self-made billionaire and founder of Nvidia, one of the world’s most valuable companies with a $3.6 trillion net worth, ranks 11th among the world’s richest individuals, surpassing Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani.
Starting as a dishwasher at Denny’s after graduating from Aloha High School near Portland, Huang earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University before working at LSI Logic and AMD. In 1993, he co-founded Nvidia with friends Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem. His hard work and leadership have brought him a net worth of $111 billion, solidifying his place among the wealthiest.
In a recent interview, Huang shared his love story with his wife, Lori Huang, whom he met as a 17-year-old freshman at Oregon State University. At a Hong Kong University of Science and Technology event, the 61-year-old revealed his clever pickup line to win her over: “I walked up to her and said, ‘Do you want to see my homework? If you do homework with me every Sunday, I promise you’ll get straight As.’”
At the time, Lori was 19, and Huang admitted that he looked like a child, using homework as an excuse to spend time with her. Their weekly Sunday dates eventually led to their marriage five years later. The couple now has two children, Madison and Spencer, who are involved with Nvidia.
