A young child has been spotted wearing an unusual Halloween costume in Taiwan. It’s a well-made replica of the “world’s largest graphics card” that Juang pulled out of the oven when Nvidia announced its Ampere graphics architecture in 2020. The costume, which Nvidia shared on its X account, shows the Nvidia CEO’s continued popularity, especially on the internet. Island country.
In Taiwan, we discovered a mini-Jensen with a finely crafted GPU. In keeping with the season, tag your costume #NVIDIAHalloween for a chance to be featured all week long on the Threads channel (https://t.co/0M1BmEUkoD). #HalloweenCostume pic.twitter.com/ZGPmhnwWkuOctober 29, 2024
Jensen Huang’s popularity skyrocketed during the AI boom, and the company he founded, Nvidia, became one of the world’s most valuable companies due to soaring demand for AI chips. Although Huang immigrated to the United States with his family when he was 9 years old, many Taiwanese still consider him a bearer of Taiwanese pride, and each time he lands on the island, he is treated like a pop star. often handled.

For example, fans and reporters alike followed him as he strolled the streets of Taipei ahead of his appearances at Computex in 2023 and 2024. The King of Denmark also jokingly referred to him as “the king in the leather jacket” when announcing Denmark’s AI supercomputer, Gefion. Jensen is beloved by the public because he often stops to take selfies and sign autographs.
Jensen’s success is also reflected in his bank account, with his personal net worth now exceeding Intel’s market cap of $109 billion (compared to Team Blue’s $96 billion). He has yet to crack the top 10 list of the richest people on the planet, but he is $4 billion shy of overtaking former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer from 10th place.
However, it’s not all about money. Two of the richest people on the planet, Elon Musk and Larry Ellison, begged Jensen fans for AI GPUs over dinner, showing just how much power Nvidia’s CEO has over the AI race, at least for now. It says a lot about what you have. And as the company continues to lead the hardware race for AI supremacy, we can only expect Jensen Huang’s popularity to grow over time, especially as Blackwell GPUs are sold out for the next 12 months.
