Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Sells Over $1 Billion in Shares

Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has completed a pre-planned stock sale exceeding $1 billion, according to filings reported on Friday.

The sale was part of a plan adopted in March 2025, under which Huang aimed to sell up to 6 million shares by year-end. The final sale of 25,000 shares marked the completion of this arrangement.

Stock Surge Boosts Sale Value

When Huang began selling shares in late June, the stock was valued at approximately $865 million. Since then, Nvidia’s share price has risen more than 40%, fueled by surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) processors.

The Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker recently became the first company to reach a $5 trillion market value, just four months after surpassing the $4 trillion mark.

Huang’s Wealth and Nvidia’s Billionaires

Following the stock’s sharp rally, Huang’s fortune reached $175.7 billion, ranking him ninth on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His wealth has grown by $61.3 billion this year.

Huang, aged 62, has sold more than $2.9 billion worth of Nvidia stock since 2001 and still holds a 3.5% stake in the company. He also donated shares worth over $300 million in 2025 to his foundation and a donor-advised fund.

Nvidia’s market rally has created seven billionaires within the company, including several top executives and board members.

• CFO Colette Kress and Jay Puri, EVP of worldwide field operations, each hold fortunes of about $1.2 billion.

• Board member Tench Coxe recently joined the list of the world’s 500 richest people with a $7.5 billion net worth.

• Director Mark Stevens ranks 247th globally, with a $12.5 billion fortune from Nvidia shares and ownership in the Golden State Warriors.

• Director Harvey Jones holds a $1.5 billion stake, while board member Brooke Seawell and his heirs possess an estimated $1.1 billion net worth.

Huang’s share sales were surpassed in Q3 by Arista Networks CEO Jayshree Ullal, who sold $861 million worth of stock, second only to Amazon Chairman Jeff Bezos among top company insiders.

Insiders at CoreWeave Inc. also sold more than $1 billion in the same period following its IPO lockup.

Overall, Nvidia insiders, including Huang, sold nearly $1.5 billion in shares through the third quarter, and over $2 billion in 2024, compared to $462 million in 2023, according to Washington Service data.
