One of the most valuable companies in the world right now from the global technology world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) market and chip manufacturing. Nvidia A very big, shocking and financial uproar news is coming out. Nvidia co-founder and longtime leader of the company Jensen Huang The incident of leaving the company has attracted the attention of the whole world. Due to this major change, Jensen Huang may have to suffer a huge loss of about $108 million in stock awards i.e. more than Rs 900 crore in Indian Rupees. Although this figure may sound huge and shocking, it is a very small part compared to his huge total wealth. Let us know in detail why Jensen Huang has suffered this financial loss, what is the mathematics of his net worth and what are the discussions going on in the market regarding his future shares after leaving Nvidia.
Jenson Huang loses nearly Rs 900 crore due to cancellation of unvested stock awards
Following the news of Jenson Huang’s separation from Nvidia, one of the world’s most successful and influential tech leaders, the company’s shares have seen some fluctuations, and after his resignation, a temporary decline in Nvidia’s total market value has also been recorded. Due to this administrative change, Jensen Huang is facing a direct loss of about $108 million (about Rs 900 crore) in the form of stock awards.
According to experts, this loss was due to the cancellation of his unvested stock awards which were not yet fully vested in his name. Under the rules of Nvidia’s strict equity compensation policy, whenever a top executive or CEO leaves the company, all unvested restricted stock units held by him are automatically canceled. According to reports, Huang held about 346,000 such units, and was expected to get about 310,000 more shares if he met certain performance targets under the company’s equity incentive plan, which he has now had to give up.
This loss is very minor compared to the total assets of 144.5 billion dollars.
Even though this amount of Rs 900 crore may seem huge in the ordinary eyes, but for Jenson Huang, who has a huge net worth of about 144.5 Billion Dollars, it is only 0.07 percent of his total wealth. Despite this small financial setback, it has not had a major impact on his net worth, as his biggest and main source of wealth is his huge stake in Nvidia, which is currently valued at around $135 billion.
According to data from Forbes and other global financial indices, about 97 percent of Jensen Huang’s net worth is directly tied to Nvidia shares. Like many other technology giants, he built his wealth primarily by holding company shares, not through huge stock options or other short-term gains. He currently holds approximately 812 million shares of Nvidia, making him the company’s largest individual shareholder.
Jensen Huang’s net worth and his stake in Nvidia
Jenson Huang owns less than 5 percent of Nvidia’s total shares, while his voting stake is around 3.5 percent. His huge stake is divided between his own direct shares, various family trusts and private holding companies. Additionally, his family charitable foundation also holds approximately 59 million shares of Nvidia, which has a current market value of more than $9 billion.
Interestingly, Huang does not have any special or additional voting rights due to Nvidia having a single-class share structure. If we look at his total compensation packages over the last few years, he received a total compensation of $36.3 million for the financial year 2026, which included base salary, stock awards and incentives. However, his cash salary or compensation is only a very small part of his net worth.
Can Jensen Huang sell his huge shares and turn them into cash?
Since Jensen Huang is no longer the active Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nvidia, financial markets and analysts are keeping an eye on whether he will start selling the billions of dollars of shares he holds in the coming time. However, selling such a large number of shares in the market is not an easy task. The 812 million shares he holds is equivalent to nearly six days of Nvidia’s total average trading volume. If they sell their shares all at once or too quickly, it could put huge pressure on the company’s stock price, so the entire process may have to be done gradually over several months.
Apart from this, legal and regulatory restrictions are also a big challenge for them. Nvidia’s long-running legal investigation into its past ties to a major customer and Chinese officials could also impact its share trading. Corporate governance experts say Huang will have to wait until any significant insider or negative information becomes fully public before selling his shares. Lawyers also believe that the upcoming quarter’s financial results could clear the way for them to sell the shares legally, provided they have no other unpublished sensitive information. Overall, this development of his separation from Nvidia remains a big topic in the technical and financial world.
