Forbes magazine released its "Innovator 250" list on Wednesday, describing it as "our selection of 250 of today's most outstanding innovators in the United States." Elon Musk secured the number one position, while NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang ranked fifth.

Forbes stated, "Musk is the only person in history to have founded (or developed from scratch) five companies, each valued at least in the billions of dollars and operating in distinct industries."

The top ten innovators on the list, in order, are: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, George Lucas, Jensen Huang, Sam Altman, Phil Knight, Martine Rothblatt, Ted Turner, and Vinod Khosla.
