Nvidia's Jensen Huang Becomes World's 6th Richest Billionaire
Taarek Refaat Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of Nvidia has climbed to the sixth spot on the global billionaires list with an estimated net worth of $149.2 billion, according to the latest Forbes rankings. The tech mogul now trails only $2 billion behind Larry Page, the Google co-founder who holds fifth place with a fortune of around $151 billion. Huang's meteoric rise in wealth is largely attributed to a rally in Nvidia's stock, which surged after U.S. President Donald Trump's administration announced the lifting of export restrictions on Nvidia chips to China, a pivotal market for the company. China accounts for approximately 13% of Nvidia's total sales, and the company confirmed it would soon resume shipments of its H20 AI chips to Chinese clients, ending months of trade restrictions that had weighed on investor sentiment. On Thursday, Nvidia's share price hit a new all-time high of $173, up 1.2% in intraday trading. Given that Huang owns roughly 3% of Nvidia's shares, even modest gains in market capitalization have a significant impact on his personal net worth. Huang's wealth trajectory has been sharp in recent months. On July 1, 2025, he re-entered the global top 10, after gaining approximately $20 billion in June alone. His net worth on that date stood at $137.6 billion, a milestone that marked his return to elite billionaire status. The resurgence of Nvidia, driven by surging global demand for AI and data center chips has made Huang one of the most closely watched figures in tech and finance. Still, the CEO remains cautious. In recent statements, Huang warned that AI could pose risks to jobs if innovation stalls, underscoring the tension between automation and human creativity. As Nvidia continues to dominate the AI hardware space and the U.S.-China tech dynamic evolves, analysts say Huang may be on course to challenge the very top of the billionaire rankings, especially if Nvidia maintains its upward momentum. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

A Life Rewritten: KFSHRC Treats Rare Disease After 22 Years of Specialized Care
In a rare example of a lifelong bond between a patient and a healthcare institution, King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) in Riyadh has continued to support a patient since infancy, providing 22 years of continuous care for a rare genetic blood clotting disorder, ultimately culminating in a liver transplant—the first of its kind globally for this particular condition. When the early signs of illness appeared during the patient's first months of life, KFSHRC teams raced against time to stabilize her condition. She was diagnosed with a congenital deficiency in plasminogen, a protein essential for dissolving blood clots, resulting in fibrous deposits that posed serious threats to her tissues and organs. The complexity of her case posed both medical and quality-of-life challenges, requiring a comprehensive, multidisciplinary care system. This extended beyond medical treatment to include all facets of life-supporting care. Teams from nursing, nutrition, and information technology joined hematology and transplant specialists to ensure the young girl's well-being. In a reflection on the early days, the patient's father said: 'My daughter suffered from the moment she was born. She cried constantly and couldn't nurse. We lived in continuous worry with no clear answers until God opened a door of hope. Today, thanks to God first, and then to the remarkable healthcare capabilities provided by the Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may God preserve them, we witness our daughter's recovery from this rare disease after two decades of struggle.' Throughout the years of treatment, the patient relied on regular intravenous doses of plasminogen, along with eye drops to reduce the disease's effect on her vision. The annual cost of treatment exceeded 6 million SAR, fully covered by the Saudi government. This reflects the Kingdom's profound commitment to human health and its investment in quality of life even in the most complex medical cases. Dr. Hazzaa Al-Zahrani, Director of Adult Hematology and Stem Cell Transplant Division at KFSHRC Riyadh and the supervising physician, explained that managing the case required a precise and long-term approach to prevent complications and ensure stability. The decision to proceed with a liver transplant came after careful consideration as an extraordinary therapeutic option for an exceptionally rare case. The success of the procedure marked a turning point in her medical journey and a beacon of hope for patients facing similar conditions worldwide. This approach is deeply rooted in the vision of King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, which places the patient at the core of every practice and is committed to delivering integrated care where scientific expertise meets human compassion, in line with its mission to serve society at the highest standards.
