Nvidia’s Jensen Huang Nears Warren Buffett’s Wealth as AI Boom Propels Market Dominance

Jensen Huang's net worth has surged to $142 billion, trailing Warren Buffett by a mere $2 billion. The Nvidia CEO's fortune grew by $27.6 billion in 2025 alone, fueled by his 3.5% stake in the chipmaker. Nvidia briefly achieved a $4 trillion market valuation this week—an unprecedented milestone—with its stock rising 22% year-to-date.

The company's dominance in AI hardware remains unchallenged. Nvidia's chips power everything from text generators to image models, creating insatiable demand among top AI developers. Loop Capital analyst Ananda Baruah projects Nvidia could reach $6 trillion valuation if current growth trajectories hold.

Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway posted modest 5% gains this year, adding just $2.19 billion to his $144 billion fortune. The 94-year-old investor maintains a narrowing lead as Nvidia's explosive growth continues reshaping the wealth hierarchy.
