Himax Technologies shares have more than doubled this year, pushing founding brothers Biing-seng Wu and Jordan Wu into the billionaire ranks. The pair owns 24% of the Taiwan-based company, and their stake combined with past dividends and stock-sale proceeds gives them a combined net worth of $1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Himax holds a 40% market share in automotive display chips, with products used by customers including Ferrari, Volkswagen and Porsche. The company moved into car display chips about two decades ago and is now pointing to smart glasses, AI and co-packaged optics as future areas of focus.
