The stock market selloff sparked by DeepSeek's challenge to US AI dominance has resulted in tech billionaires losing almost $100bn.
Nvidia's record stock plunge wiped $20.7bn from CEO Jensen Huang's net worth, pushing him down to 17th place in global wealth rankings.
Larry Ellison, chair of Oracle, recorded a $27.6bn loss in shares, dropping him to the fifth wealthiest man.
Tech sector titans collectively saw $94bn of wealth evaporate, accounting for 85% of DeepSeek and Nvidia-related losses among the world's 500 wealthiest people.
