NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang holds nearly 870 million shares, with a net worth of around $200 billion.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang held approximately 870 million NVIDIA shares as of March 23, 2026, accounting for 3.58% of the company’s total outstanding shares. Valued at NVIDIA’s early-October share price of $231.49, this stake is worth roughly $201 billion. Forbes data shows Huang’s current net worth is around $200 billion, with his personal wealth primarily derived from NVIDIA holdings. Huang is NVIDIA’s largest known individual shareholder. However, under U.S. SEC rules, individual investors holding less than 5% of shares are not required to disclose their stakes, so it is possible that undisclosed individual shareholders hold more than Huang. NVIDIA’s major institutional shareholders holding over 5% of its shares include BlackRock and Vanguard, with stakes of 7.43% and 7.31% respectively. Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993. Before NVIDIA’s first stock split in 1999, he held around 2.9 million shares, representing 9.9% of the company. Had he retained all those shares to date, adjusted for stock splits, he would hold nearly 2.8 billion shares, indicating he has since continuously sold off some of his holdings. Additionally, Huang can earn NVIDIA stock through performance awards. NVIDIA paid him a total compensation of $35.5 million in fiscal 2025, consisting of a $1.5 million base salary, a $3 million cash bonus, and approximately $31 million in equity awarded in the form of 936,800 performance stock units (PSUs).
