Jensen Huang stepped off his private jet in Taipei this week — and immediately started handing out Yakult to strangers like candy on Halloween.
The most powerful CEO in tech. A 62-year-old worth $150 billion.
Passing out tiny 65ml bottles of a Japanese probiotic drink invented in 1935.
He brought his whole family this time — his wife, his son, his daughter.
And the first thing he did when he landed was reach for the same humble Japanese drink he grew up on.
"I've been drinking it from childhood to adulthood," Huang has said. More than once.
Yakult — the fermented milk drink invented by a Japanese microbiologist named Minoru Shirota in Kyoto, nearly a century ago.
It now sells over 40 million bottles a day in 40 countries.
Most American CEOs flex with Patek Philippes and Hermès.
The man whose chips are running every AI model on earth flexes with a 50-cent Japanese yogurt drink from his childhood.
There's something quietly powerful about that.
