NVIDIA's market value is close to $4 trillion, and CEO Jensen Huang's wealth has reached $142 billion, potentially surpassing Warren Buffett. NVIDIA's stock price has risen about 22% this year, making it the highest-valued company in the world. Analysts predict its market value could approach $6 trillion. Buffett's wealth stands at $144 billion, with a relatively small increase. It is not certain that Huang's wealth will surpass Buffett's, as NVIDIA's stock price is highly volatile

The Zhitong Finance APP noted that Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of NVIDIA (NVDA.US), is now approaching the net worth of veteran billionaire Warren Buffett—and may soon surpass the "Oracle of Omaha."

According to estimates on Wednesday evening, the 63-year-old Huang currently has a fortune of $142 billion (an increase of $27.6 billion since January 1), primarily from holding about 3.5% of NVIDIA's shares. The company is currently the highest-valued publicly traded company in the world.

On Wednesday, NVIDIA's market value briefly surpassed $4 trillion, becoming the first company in history to reach this milestone, with its stock price increasing approximately 22% this year. In the ongoing AI arms race in the tech industry, NVIDIA's computer chips have become a strategic resource for several leading AI developers.

Loop Capital analyst Ananda Baruah predicted in a client report on Wednesday that the company's market value peak could approach $6 trillion.

Meanwhile, Buffett's fortune of $144 billion has also increased by $2.19 billion since January 1 (Bloomberg data). His holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, has performed steadily in 2025—with its stock price rising about 5% this year—but considering NVIDIA's growth rate, Huang may soon surpass Buffett on the global billionaire list.

The 94-year-old Buffett has continued to donate his wealth in recent years. On June 27, he announced in a press release that he recently donated $6 billion to five charitable organizations, with total donations exceeding $60 billion over the past twenty years, "far exceeding my total net worth in 2006" (Forbes showed his net worth that year was $46 billion, second only to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates).

However, Huang's wealth surpassing Buffett is not a certainty.

Despite NVIDIA's overall stock price increase this year, it has experienced significant volatility in 2025: On January 27, reports that a Chinese AI lab was using NVIDIA's cut-down chips to train new language models triggered panic among investors, causing the stock price to plummet 17% in a single day, setting a record for the largest single-day market value loss in U.S. public company history (losing nearly $600 billion); on March 3, the stock fell 9% in a single day after Trump announced tariffs on Mexico (home to some of NVIDIA's manufacturing bases).

However, since June, the company has regained momentum on Wall Street, which may indicate that investor concerns have temporarily eased
