WASHINGTON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang

donated to fund the construction of U.S. President Donald

Trump's White House ballroom, he told reporters, joining other

tech leaders supporting the project.

"I'm delighted to be part of it," he told reporters in

Washington on Tuesday.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) was not named on the White House's public list of donors

released last week. Huang's personal net worth was estimated at

$120 billion in May.

Demolition workers tore down the East Wing of the White House to

make way for the new ballroom. Trump has said the project will

cost $300 million. Amazon, Apple and Google are among the

technology companies also supporting the construction.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) on Wednesday became the first company to reach $5

trillion in market value. The company is at the center of the

global AI industry.
