Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's $36 Million Stock Sale Matches Warren Buffett's Net Worth

This report discusses Nvidia's CEO and his stock market activities.

The head of the graphics card giant divested around $36.4 million in shares, as detailed in an official U.S. filing.

This transaction, encompassing 225,000 shares, aligns with Huang's pre-planned strategy initiated in March to sell up to 6 million Nvidia shares throughout the year. Earlier, in June, he sold a portion worth approximately $15 million under that plan.

In the previous year, the Nvidia executive disposed of shares valued at about $700 million pursuant to a scheduled agreement. Nvidia's stock noted a 1% increase by the end of the trading week.

Huang's fortune has surged as Nvidia spearheads advancements in artificial intelligence and GPUs, significant components for expansive language models.

At 62, Huang has witnessed a wealth upsurge surpassing 25%, roughly equivalent to $29 billion, just since the onset of 2025. His estimated net worth now sits at $143 billion, closely rivaling that of the legendary investor, estimated at $144 billion.

As markets opened on Friday, reports highlighted that Huang had overtaken Buffett in terms of wealth, logging a net worth of $143.7 billion compared to Buffett's $142.1 billion.

Significant Achievements in Nvidia's Recent Journey

The corporation has achieved remarkable heights this year, bolstered by the growth in artificial intelligence applications.

Just this Wednesday, the renowned chipmaker from Santa Clara, California, surpassed a historic benchmark in stock valuation, outpacing notable competitors. The company maintained this position Thursday when it was noted that the firm's leader engaged in discussions with the president.

Another noteworthy financial update involved a partner from New Enterprise Associates, who liquidated approximately $24 million in Nvidia stocks, a decision outlined in an administrative disclosure. Seawell, a board member since 1997, executed this sale.

Despite these transactions, Huang retains ownership of over 858 million shares of Nvidia, whether directly or through various partnerships and trusts.
