Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s net worth has surpassed that of Warren Buffett.

Historic billionaire overtake: Nvidia CEO Huang’s net worth has surpassed that of Warren Buffett, who stands at $142.1 billion.

This occurred as Nvidia became the first US company to close with a $4 trillion market cap on July 9, and CEO Jensen Huang’s fortune skyrocketed, along with that of his company.

Now, with an estimated net worth of $145.4 billion, the AI king is richer than the iconic Oracle of Omaha ($142 billion).

Huang’s explosive rise at Nvidia has been impossible to ignore: his fortune has increased by approximately $28 billion this year alone.

Huang’s Incredible Run to Wealth

Since January, Huang’s net worth has increased by more than $27.6 billion, driven by Nvidia’s roughly 22% gain year-to-date. Fueled by growing demand for artificial intelligence, analysts expect further growth. A bullish projection from Loop Capital sees Nvidia’s market capitalization reaching $6 trillion, implying an even more significant increase in Huang’s net worth.

By contrast, Warren Buffett has amassed steady wealth through decades of value investing at Berkshire Hathaway, now valued at over $800 billion. As of May 2025, Buffett’s net worth stood at around $160.2 billion. If Nvidia’s rally continues, Huang could eclipse this benchmark, marking a seismic shift in the wealth landscape.

If Invidia’s CEO were to permanently surpass the aging billionaire, it would not only signal a shift in wealth rankings but also a symbol of profound economic and cultural shifts. According to several experts, Huang’s incredible run signifies that technological innovation and artificial intelligence are reshaping global fortunes, challenging established paradigms of investing and wealth creation.
Has a new era begun in which visionary technology leaders not only rival but surpass traditional investment titans? For now, Huang is closing the gap at an unprecedented pace.

With Nvidia shares still rising and artificial intelligence permeating every industry, Jensen Huang’s net worth could soon supplant Buffett’s century-old benchmark.

Nvidia Boom

Nvidia’s value has risen dramatically with the AI boom.

Just a couple of years ago, Nvidia surpassed the $1 trillion mark, and by mid-2024, it had already surpassed $3 trillion. Then, on July 9, 2025, it briefly became the first company to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization, underscoring its crucial role in driving AI development.

This meteoric rise is largely due to the dynamic leadership of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. He quickly realized that its powerful GPUs, primarily designed for gaming hardware, would be ideal for training and running AI models.

In a short time, Nvidia became the go-to data center provider, powering everything from generative AI to autonomous vehicles.

The tech giant built its empire with CUDA processors, cutting-edge H100 and H200 chips, and a cloud team comprised of Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

Analysts now expect annual profits to exceed $100 billion this year, a far cry from just $4.37 billion in 2023.
