      Taiwan’s a small-ish country of about 24M people, and also probably the number one producer of advanced semiconductors. Their family tree is basically “rich bastards that own things”; neither Lisa Su or Jensen Huang inherited their firms, but “work your arse off until you’re at the top” looks to be a closely-held family value. So yeah; surprising, but first-cousin-once-removed isn’t that close, and they’ve both got some seriously wealthy closer relatives in diverse fields.
