NVDA--
Huang sold the shares between July 8 and July 10, 2025, according to a Form 4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The transactions were conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows executives to schedule trades in advance under regulatory guidelines. The shares sold were part of Huang’s direct holdings in the company [1].
On July 8, Huang sold 75,000 shares in two separate blocks at weighted average prices of $159.06 and $159.71, generating proceeds of approximately $11.8 million. On July 9, he sold another 74,700 shares across three trades at weighted average prices ranging from $161.63 to $164.29, totaling around $12.2 million in value. On July 10, Huang completed three additional transactions involving a combined 75,000 shares at weighted average prices between $162.34 and $163.99, resulting in proceeds of approximately $12.3 million [1].
Following the reported trades, Huang held 74,798,225 shares directly. The filing also discloses additional indirect holdings through a range of trusts and investment entities, which collectively hold hundreds of millions of shares [1].
The sale of shares comes as Huang's net worth has skyrocketed. According to Bloomberg, Huang's net worth has grown by more than a quarter, or about $29 billion, since the start of 2025 alone. His net worth last stood at $143 billion in the index, putting him neck-and-neck with Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett at $144 billion [3].
Nvidia's rapid rise to $4 trillion has created a breathtaking windfall for its relatively small workforce. The AI chip company employs only about 36,000 people, representing an unprecedented concentration of wealth. Take this example from Levels.fyi, which specializes in analyzing tech industry compensation. It shows how pretty regular individual contributors at Nvidia have likely become millionaires. Anyone above this job level is probably experiencing even more life-changing wealth right now [4].
