Nvidia's stock suffered a major setback on Tuesday, experiencing its worst single-day performance ever, with a massive drop in value.
The decline wiped out a record-breaking $279 billion in market value, making it the largest one-day loss in U.S. history.
Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, who is also the company's largest shareholder, saw his personal wealth shrink by a substantial $10 billion.
The drop was attributed to news of an antitrust investigation by the Department of Justice, which is looking into whether Nvidia's dominance in the market is fair.
