Jensen Huang's $151 billion net worth tied to NVIDIA stock
Jensen Huang, who co-founded NVIDIA back in 1993, now has a net worth of $151 billion, mostly thanks to his massive chunk of NVIDIA shares.
In fiscal 2026, his total pay was $36.34 million, but most of that came from stock awards and performance bonuses; his base salary is just about $1.5 million.
Basically, when NVIDIA's stock goes up or down, so does Huang's wealth.
Huang owns 870.6 million NVIDIA shares
Huang owns around 870.6 million shares (about 3.58% of all NVIDIA stock as of March 23, 2026), so he's deeply tied to the company's success in AI and tech.
His story isn't unique: as big tech companies like NVIDIA grow fast, their founders' fortunes can skyrocket right alongside them.
