Jensen Huang tops annual list of highest-paid business men

In 2023 it looked like the business man’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (March 19) that Huang is the highest-paid business man in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between February 2025 and February 2026, a nearly $20 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American business man has an estimated net worth of $145 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Huang Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Tainan Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhuang - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jensen) and a fashion line called “Jensen Huang Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Jensen fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
