Jensen Huang’s fortune crossed $200 billion on Friday (2), making him the world’s seventh-richest person as Nvidia shares reached a new all-time high amid optimism surrounding artificial intelligence. Nvidia’s 2026 proxy statement showed that Huang owned 870 million shares, or 3.58% of the company, as of March 23, 2026. At an early October 2026 share price of $231.49, the stake was worth $201 billion, broadly matching Forbes’ estimate of his net worth at around $200 billion. Huang was Nvidia’s largest known individual non-institutional shareholder, while BlackRock and Vanguard Capital Management were the largest disclosed shareholders, with stakes of 7.43% and 7.31%, respectively. His ownership was 9.9% in 1999 before Nvidia’s first of six stock splits, and he has since sold shares and received additional equity tied to company performance. In fiscal 2025, he received $35.5 million in total compensation, including $1.5 million in salary, a $3 million cash bonus and $31 million in equity through 936,771 performance stock units.
