- Per SemiAnalysis: King Slide founder and chairman Lin Tsung-Chi is now Taiwan's richest man with a net worth of $17.8B — his business? Drawer slides and precision rail kits for AI servers.
- That puts him ahead of Dario Amodei ($15.5B), Terry Gou ($15.5B), Morris Chang ($10.2B), SK Group's Chey Tae-won ($5.5B), and Sam Altman ($3.3B).
- Punchline: aligning two metal rails turned out to be the real AI alignment problem. Upstream hardware suppliers are quietly cashing in on the AI buildout.
