Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang has a net worth of $147 billion, ranking him 10th on the rich list despite being the CEO of the world's most valuable company. Huang owns less than 4% of Nvidia, which has been diluted over the years due to the company's issuance of shares to employees. In contrast, his peers such as Warren Buffett and Bernard Arnault hold bigger stakes in their respective companies.
Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, with a net worth of $147 billion, ranks 10th on the rich list, despite heading the world's most valuable company. Huang's ownership in Nvidia is less than 4%, a stark contrast to his peers such as Warren Buffett and Bernard Arnault, who hold larger stakes in their respective companies [3].The dilution of Huang's shares is primarily due to Nvidia's issuance of shares to employees, a common practice in the tech industry to incentivize and retain talent. The company has seen a significant increase in its outstanding shares, surging from 1.7 billion at its IPO to over 23 billion now [3].
Huang's stake has also shrunk due to his prearranged trading plan to dispose of up to 6 million shares this year, worth about $1 billion at Nvidia's current stock price [3].
In contrast, Warren Buffett owns about 14% of Berkshire Hathaway, Bernard Arnault owns roughly half of LVMH, and Elon Musk owns around 13% of Tesla and 42% of SpaceX [3].
Huang's smaller stake means he is unlikely to top the rich list anytime soon, despite Nvidia's market value. The rich list changes as companies' market caps fluctuate, but Huang's smaller stake indicates a prolonged decline in his ownership percentage.
