Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are the reigning giants of the semiconductor world, shaping the industry with Nvidia and AMD.

Huang, Nvidia’s “high priest of AI,” now boasts a net worth around $125.5 billion, placing him among the ten richest people globally.

While Su’s wealth trails behind at $1.3 billion, her influence is undeniable, thanks to her steady rise at AMD.

Both have amassed their fortunes through stock holdings—a classic tech wealth strategy.

Huang’s 3.6% stake in Nvidia has skyrocketed as Nvidia’s AI chips become essential, while Su has methodically raised AMD’s standing since taking charge in 2014.

Both cousins live large: Huang’s real estate portfolio gleams with a $38 million mansion on San Francisco’s Gold Coast and a beachfront escape in Maui.

Su is more understated but far from modest, given her recent billionaire status.

Their story begins on a modest island in the 1960s, where a young Jensen and Lisa showed early signs of brilliance.

In 1972, nine-year-old Jensen arrived in America, with just his math talent and family’s hope.

Across the Pacific, a young Lisa exhibited the same sharp mind and ambition, dismantling toys to understand how things worked.

Their educational paths led them through America’s elite institutions—Jensen at Oregon State University, Lisa at MIT—each forging their own journey in tech.

In the 90s, as tech reshaped the world, both cousins were poised to transform the industry.

Huang took a risk, founding Nvidia with his life savings, which later unveiled the GPU, a key innovation.

Meanwhile, Su climbed through IBM, then resurrected AMD from the brink of collapse with decisive restructuring.

In 2023, ChatGPT and AI exploded into public view, but Huang’s foresight had Nvidia ready for this wave.

Meanwhile, Su at AMD unveiled the MI300, challenging her cousin’s dominance.

Their rivalry is marked by “coopetition,” a blend of collaboration and competition that spurs industry progress.

Their vision extends beyond wealth, with research projects pushing the boundaries of AI.

What started as a modest family story now impacts billions—an Asian dynasty set to influence the world.
