Huang is leading the AI boom, with Nvidia dominating the GPU market. Its superchips, like the H100 and GH200, are shaping AI development, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman noted Huang’s long-term preparation for AI leadership.
Michele Kang (Kang Yong-mi), a Korean-American entrepreneur, owns the US Women’s Football League’s Washington Spirit, England’s London City Lionesses, and chairs French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais. Chelsea Clinton praised Kang as a bold investor reshaping the future of women’s sports.
