Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang is down $7.5 billion in net worth to $143.7 billion, according to Forbes, at the time of writing. This marks a decline of around 5% from Huang’s wealth before Thursday.
Huang, who quit as Nvidia CEO today, had the biggest decline on Thursday. Other billionaires gained.
Elon Musk gained $16.4 billion on Thursday and ranks first at $907.1 billion. At $907.1 billion, the Tesla and SpaceX chief is now 6.3x richer than Huang.
Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin gained $6.5 billion and $6 billion, ranking third and fourth richest, respectively.
Huang now ranks 13th on the list of billionaires after losing three spots since Monday. Zara co-founder Amancio Ortega, along with Walton family members Rob Walton and Jim Walton, passed him.
Now out of the top 10, Huang would need to get back to $145.4 billion to move up to 12th place and $151.6 billion to return to the top 10. Whether Nvidia’s quarterly earnings could soften the blow of losing the company’s foremost visionary remains to be seen.
