Who owns Nvidia? Nvidia was established in 1993 by Jensen Huang-- a Taiwanese-born engineer who is today the 7th richest person in the world with a net worth of $145 billion as per Forbes. The idea of Nvidia was born during a casual meeting at a Dennys diner in San Jose after which Jensen Huang co-founded the company with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem. Huang has helmed Nvidia since its founding a rare feat in Silicon Valley where founders often step aside and hand over reins to new leaders. Huang has served as the CEO of Nvidia for over 30 years and propelled the graphics-chip maker as the dominant force first in computer gaming and now in AI. Nvidia is especially capitalized on the AI boom soaring past goliaths like Microsoft Apple and Elon Musks Tesla and becoming the most valuable publicly-traded tech company in the world. Born in a middle-class home in Tainan Taiwan in 1963 Jensen Huang was five years old when his family relocated to Thailand. However as civil unrest mounted in Thailand the family sent Huang who was nine at the time and his brother to live with their uncle  in Tacoma Washington in the United States. After completing his primary education at Oneida Elementary School in Kentucky Jensen graduated from the Aloha High School near Portland and started working as a waiter or server at a Dennys restaurant. Later Huang earned a Masters degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University and started his career by working for LSI Logic and AMD.
