Nvidia currently has the highest market cap of $3.98 trillion. Founded by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem in 1993, the company first focused on producing multimedia processors and graphics chips. Its graphic processing units (GPUs) improved the look and feel of gaming and transformed video editing.

It’s been seven years since Apple became the first company in history to reach a market valuation of $1 trillion, a figure that once seemed unimaginable.

NVIDIA has become the first publicly traded company to reach a $4 trillion market cap, driven by soaring demand for its AI chips that power models like ChatGPT and Gemini.
