Huang Renxuns Kinder schaffen einen Aufstieg: Die bisher unveröffentlichte Geschichte des Aufstiegs der "Kronprinzen" mit einem Vermögen von 4 Billionen: Eine lernt das Bäckerhandwerk, die andere betreibt eine Bar.

The chip business of NVIDIA is at its peak, and the "second - generation successors" are actively striving to pave new paths for the company. In recent years, Madison and Spencer, the children of NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang, have successively joined the company founded by their father. However, they have not chosen the core chip business but are engaged in emerging business fields such as Digital Twin and Artificial Intelligence.

In Silicon Valley technology companies, founders are usually still very young, and it is far from the time to think about successors for the company.

Established technology giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple have not done things like in traditional industries and looked for successors through family inheritance.

The "world - champion company in market value" NVIDIA seems to be an "exception."

Since 2020, Madison and Spencer, the two children of Jensen Huang, have successively been employed at NVIDIA:

One of them is a Senior Director; the other is a product line manager.

Even Madison's boyfriend Nico Caprez has joined NVIDIA and works as a corporate development manager.

Not only Jensen Huang's children but also many children of NVIDIA executives work in the same company as their parents.

It seems that Jensen Huang is not worried that "factions" and "nepotism" could affect NVIDIA's development.

He has truly made NVIDIA a company for everyone.

NVIDIA's "Second Generation"

What's it like to work with one's "billionaire" father?

Today, Madison and Spencer, the children of Jensen Huang, both hold important positions at NVIDIA and fight side by side with their father.

Daughter Madison (Huang Minshan) joined the company in 2020 and was named Senior Director in March this year; son Spencer (Huang Shengbin) joined the company two years later than his sister and works as a product manager.

Both siblings do not work in NVIDIA's core chip department but are each engaged in the company's emerging business fields.

Madison is responsible for simulation software for industries such as the manufacturing industry; Spencer is dedicated to the field of robotics.

These two departments are regarded by Jensen Huang as new growth drivers for the company's future.

Within the company, both siblings are extremely hard - working and knowledgeable and have a deep connection to the company founded by their father.

Compared to her quiet and gentle brother Spencer, sister Madison has a similarly strong character as her father, and her influence within the company is also growing faster.

Madison has joined a team called "The Band" within the company.

This is a core team consisting of dozens of company executives and also the closest "friends and relatives" of Jensen Huang. Their main task is to accompany Jensen Huang to various speech events, plan important events such as GTC, and work behind the scenes.

Although both siblings are proud of their billionaire father, they also have to bear the "unbearable burdens" from their father's glory at NVIDIA: No one can attend a meeting with the two siblings without thinking about their special relationship with the company founder.

Besides the Huang siblings, NVIDIA has also hired many children of employees.

For example, the son of co - founder Chris Malachowsky and the son of board member Aarti Shah are among them.

Many children of executives are also doing internships at NVIDIA, and some executives even have multiple children working in the company.

But Jensen Huang doesn't seem worried that this could affect the company.

He believes that parents who place their children in the company are sure that their children will bring honor to them. In fact, many "second - generation" employees at NVIDIA often outperform their parents.

The Huang siblings have only recently been employed at NVIDIA, and their future development in the company is still uncertain.

With NVIDIA's market value exceeding the $400 billion mark and leaving Apple and Microsoft behind, thus making it the company with the highest market value in the world, the story of the Huang family is also starting a new chapter.

Standing on their parents' shoulders and surpassing their achievements seems to be a difficult goal for the Huang siblings to achieve.

The Rise of the "Non - Silicon Valley Elites"

For a long time, no one thought that the siblings would join NVIDIA.

On their path to success, they did not choose to study at a prestigious university and follow the traditional path of Silicon Valley elites.

Sister Madison was interested in cooking and later specialized in pastries and wine; brother Spencer opened a cocktail bar in Taipei.

During the early development of his children, Jensen Huang seems to prefer that his children go out into the world early, discover new things, and develop the ability to break the rules.

Back in 1993, when Jensen Huang just founded NVIDIA, Madison was only one year old and Spencer was only two years old. Under the care of their parents, the siblings grew up in a house in San Jose.

In 2003, the family moved into a six - bedroom luxury villa in the wealthy area of Los Altos Hills.

In his last year of high school, Spencer followed his passion and chose the Freestyle School of Communication Arts and Technology, a new school for students interested in creative careers. The school provides high - quality equipment such as professional cameras and editing software for students to engage in photography, design, and filmmaking.

Around 2014, Spencer founded a bar named "R&D Cocktail Lab" in Taipei with a friend.

It is said that there were often NVIDIA employees visiting the bar at that time, asking the bartender about the news of the company's CEO's son.

In the first year after its founding, the bar was selected as one of the top 50 bars in Asia by Forbes.

But Spencer rarely talks about NVIDIA or his father at the bar. He occasionally tells stories about his childhood, for example, he once told his employees that he knew how to trade stocks at the age of eight.

He also copied his father's business strategy when running the bar. For example, he holds weekly manager meetings and asks employees to share their "five most important things," which is directly taken from his father's management handbook: For years, NVIDIA employees have sent weekly emails to the CEO reporting their "five most important things."

In 2022, Spencer returned to the United States and obtained a master's degree in Technology and Business Administration with a focus on Artificial Intelligence from New York University.

Madison's development is similar to her brother's.

After graduating from a public high school in 2009, Madison, who was interested in cooking, chose the Culinary Institute of America, which has nothing to do with chip manufacturing.

When his children both went abroad to study, Jensen Huang felt very lost. He suddenly felt like an "empty - nester" and didn't know what to do.

After studying gastronomy management at the cooking school, Madison didn't rush to take over the company but worked as a cook in New York and San Francisco, specialized in pastries and wine at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and worked at the French luxury giant LVMH for almost four years.

The Return to the Family Business

It was only in 2019 that the siblings secretly began to prepare for their return to the family business.

In this year, they jointly signed up for a six - week online course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a focus on Artificial Intelligence.

In the same year, Madison began to study for an MBA at the prestigious London Business School.

A few weeks into her studies, the news about Madison's famous father circulated among her classmates. Several classmates remember that she once flew to France on a private jet to participate in a joint ski trip.

Compared to his sister, Spencer was more reserved during his studies, and his classmates at New York University only recognized his identity late.

It was only when someone looked up Jensen Huang's Wikipedia page that people were surprised to find that Spencer is Jensen Huang's son; two other classmates only learned about Spencer's true identity after a call from The Information.

In the summer of 2020, Madison, who was studying at the London Business School, took an internship in NVIDIA's market research department and then received a full - time job offer.

A few months later, Madison switched to the Omniverse Business Unit as a product marketing manager, which is responsible for 3D design and simulation software products. One of the core businesses of this business unit is...
