Chip manufacturer Nvidia has been in the news of late for becoming the world's first company to hit the $4 trillion mark, and now its CEO is also making news. Jensen Huang tops Fortune's list of the most powerful people in the business world, only the second time the publication has put together such a ranking. "This list measures power and influence—and though net worth is a factor, we're much more concerned with a leader's ability to shape the thoughts and actions of those around them," the magazine notes. Last year's leader: SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who drops to No. 4 this time around. The current top 10:

  1. Jensen Huang (CEO, Nvidia)
  2. Satya Nadella (CEO, Microsoft)
  3. Mark Zuckerberg (CEO, Meta)
  4. Elon Musk (CEO, SpaceX, Tesla)
  5. Wang Chuanfu (CEO, BYD Company)
  6. Sundar Pichai (CEO, Google)
  7. Ren Zhengfei (CEO, Huawei)
