Jensen Huang added nearly $12 billion to his fortune Wednesday, a record tally to match Nvidia Corp.’s record day.

It was the biggest one-day dollar gain for Nvidia’s co-founder and chief executive officer, exceeding the $9.6 billion he made on Feb. 22 when the chipmaker’s shares spiked after strong earnings, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. It also pushed him back above the $100 billion mark for the first time in a week, bringing his total net worth to $102.8 billion.
