JENSEN HUANG IS NOW WORTH MORE THAN INTEL — PERSONAL NET WORTH CURRENTLY VALUED

News

published October 6, 2024

If he decided to buy Team Blue, Huang would still have $13 billion in change.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s current net worth is listed at $109.2 billion, putting
him a significant valuation step ahead of Intel, whose stock price took a
beating when its financial troubles were made public in August. The news has
gotten to the point that various social media users have been sharing posts
about it. See a popular example, below, with the caption encouraging the
leather-jacket-loving executive to buy Team Blue.

The AI frenzy and Nvidia’s performance as the leading AI GPU accelerator
manufacturer has supercharged its stock performance, making it the world’s most
valuable company by market cap last June. Although its share price has since
corrected, dropping by around 10% from its record high, it’s still third in line
with the five largest companies, next to other tech giants like Apple,
Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), and Amazon.



This jump in stock performance has done wonders for Huang, who directly holds
over 75 million Nvidia shares, plus 786 million more through various trusts and
a partnership. Even though he has cashed in more than $700 million by selling 6
million shares this year, this is just a drop in the bucket versus the estimated
total value of his Nvidia holdings, at over $100 billion. This combination has
allowed the Nvidia CEO to jump ahead in Forbes’ real-time billionaires list,
putting him in the 11th spot, less than $20 billion shy of breaking the top 10.

One interesting story, though, is that both Elon Musk and Larry Ellison,
currently sitting at number one and two on Forbes’ list of richest billionaires,
were known to have begged Jensen Huang for more AI GPUs, with the latter
confirming the story during Oracle’s latest earnings calls. This adds to the
Nvidia CEO’s star appeal, with several A-listers seen attending his keynote at
GTC 2024.

On the other hand, Intel, which hasn’t been having a good year, is currently
valued at $96.39 billion. Its stock price at the time of writing is $22.59 per
share, which is less than half of its record high from late 2023, of over $50.
The company’s value plummeted in early August when its financial struggles made
a huge splash in the tech and finance worlds. This news caused the company to
shed $39 billion in market capitalization practically overnight, with rumors
saying that it could be kicked out of the Dow Jones Industrial Average because
of this.



While it may be amusing to see that Jensen Huang could buy up Intel and have
around $13B in change, it is a highly unlikely move, and no one is expecting an
offer to be made. There are also multiple huge regulatory and trust hurdles
facing such a deal with the embattled chip maker. However, if Jensen Huang even
showed an interest in an Intel purchase, as he did with Arm, it could be a story
so big that Musk’s surprise Twitter purchase would seem like a tiny sand grain
on the dunes of time.

   That is a LOT of video cards his company has sold over the years, considering
   he personally only receives around a penny per card, perhaps even less. (at
   least based on current sales numbers)

   And it could all blow away like a fart in the wind. Nvidia, like Intel, is a
   one trick pony. They only make one product, if something better and/or
   cheaper comes along, or the AI bubble bursts all that valuation is gone.
   Intel is a cautionary tale, not a potential purchase. On that note however,
   with the brand power Nvidia possesses I'm sure a potent, efficient ARM APU
   would be VERY well received...

   It would make sense to diversify, and making CPU's and GPU's could just be
   providing that option.
   But I doubt regulators would approve such a purchase.
   
   Which then leaves the question on how to save Intel. I guess tax payers money
   is an option.

   did you just call Intel a 1 trick pony?
   
   They make cpu, gpu, network interface, FPGA, etc.

   while true it wouldnt be gone fast enough before they pivot to whatever the
   new hot thing is (and the people at Nvidia are smart enough to do so)

   Why make a dig on Intel? Why not just a story about Huangs wealth? I think I
   know why.

   If we all made the same choices Jensen did we'd be in his position. But we
   didn't. That's our fault. Not his.
   Even if people invested money in stocks or companies most people would be
   well off. But most people are not because they don't make those choices.
   Myself included. There is no shame in success.

   Even without the painfully obvious fanboyism of your user icon, you're so
   wrong it's laughable.
   
   Tell me you know absolutely nothing about datacenter and enterprise IT
   without telling me you know absolutely nothing.
   
   Their purchase of Mellanox made them a leading player in both
   Enterprise/Datacenter Networking and switching as their ownership of
   Infiniband is critical in HPC and supercompute in general.
   
   
   They're as much a software pipeline company as a GPU company these days with
   their prepackaged containers, management products and APIs for various
   industries including, but not limited to automotive, aerospace, simulation,
   visualization, rendering, civil engineering, AI and gaming.
   
   EDIT: Also, in regards to ARM......Nvidia has been making ARM APUs for a hell
   of a long time.
   
   Nvidia Shield handheld, then Tablet, then console.
   
   They also make an automotive version with workstation class GPUs and a few
   variants for datacenter called Grace Hopper and soon Grace Blackwell with
   700+ watt GPUs per APU

   NVidia also has a networking business. They bought Mellanox in like 2020.

   Nvidia also makes ARM chips used in Shield and Switch.
