Jensen Huang’s net worth is down by almost a fifth this year after Nivida stock‘s slide on Wednesday.
The CEO is $22.6 billion less well off and worth $91.8 billion, per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, putting him in 16th place. Most of his wealth comes from his stake in Nvidia, whose shares have fallen almost 25% since January.
Huang and Michael Dell have fallen by a combined $49 billion this year following Nvidia’s stock slide and a broader tech sell-off on Wednesday.
The two CEOs both fell out of the exclusive $100 billion club earlier this month after a painful first quarter for the stock market.
At the start of the year, there were 16 centi-billionaires, but there are now only 14, according to the Bloomberg rich list, as a sharp sell-off in equities wiped billions from their fortunes in the worst quarter for the market since 2022.
President Donald Trump‘s aggressive tariff policies have led to a more volatile market and dampened investor confidence.
Once one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI stock boom, Nvidia has faced a series of obstacles this year that have hit its stock price.
A mix of AI market saturation fears, tighter regulations, and a disappointing IPO from AI cloud startup CoreWeave have weighed on investor sentiment.
The stock closed almost 7% lower on Wednesday amid tariff pressure from President Donald Trump.
Huang remains much richer than he was two years ago, when his net worth was about $25 billion — although he’s still well off his $130 billion peak from last November.
Dell, the tech entrepreneur who has turned the company he founded into a global powerhouse, is also less wealthy now than a few months ago.
The Bloomberg rich list shows he’s lost a big slice of his fortune this year with a $26.3 billion decline. He’s now worth $97.3 billion and in 15th place.
Despite reporting strong earnings in February, Dell Technologies’ stock has fallen more than 28% this year amid concern about slower-than-expected AI infrastructure spending and tariff uncertainty.
Other members of the $100 billion club have taken heavy hits, with Elon Musk down $129 billion to $304 billion, Larry Ellison down almost $41 billion to $151 billion, and Jeff Bezos down $42 billion to $197 billion.
Only two centi-billionaires have grown their wealth this year.
