Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, tech mogul Michael Dell thrown out of elite $100 billion club
Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang and Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell saw their net worths drop below the $100 billion threshold after a brutal first quarter for global stocks, as a broad market sell-off wiped out billions from the fortunes of some of the world’s wealthiest individuals.
The number of centi-billionaires has shrunk from 16 to 13 this year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as aggressive U.S. tariff policies have heightened market volatility.
The market downturn in the first three months of 2025, the worst since 2022, was fueled in part by investor jitters over U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies, which have heightened volatility and weakened confidence.
Huang’s AI boom unravels
Huang, once one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI stock boom, has seen his fortune drop by $17.7 billion this year as Nvidia shares tumbled 18% since January. His net worth now stands at $96.7 billion, ranking him 16th on Bloomberg’s Billionaires list.
The decline comes amid concerns over AI market saturation, regulatory scrutiny, and the disappointing IPO of AI cloud startup CoreWeave, all of which have dampened investor sentiment and dragged down Nvidia’s stock.

Nvidia’s stock, which soared to record highs last year, has suffered as a result.
Despite the setback, Huang remains significantly wealthier than he was two years ago when his net worth stood at roughly $25 billion, though he is still well below his $130 billion peak from last November.
