AI-fueled stock swings are shaping trader views on who lands third-richest by year-end, with Jensen Huang edging the market-implied odds at 36.6 percent ahead of Warren Buffett at 35.9 percent and Mark Zuckerberg at 30 percent. NVIDIA’s continued AI-chip demand gives Huang momentum to climb from his current mid-tier spot, while Meta’s strong platform metrics and AI push support Zuckerberg’s case. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway stake offers a steadier but lower-growth path. The tight spread among these three reflects volatile tech valuations versus traditional holdings, with Q4 earnings reports and broader market moves likely to decide final positioning among the current top tier led by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
