Nvidia’s explosive rise in the AI industry has created staggering levels of wealth for its employees. A recent survey shows that roughly 80% of staff are now millionaires, with nearly half holding a net worth above $25 million. The findings come from an internal poll of about 3,000 employees, representing 10% of the company’s workforce. The surge in wealth is largely driven by Nvidia’s employee stock purchase program, which lets staff buy shares at a 15% discount. With the stock soaring, this perk has delivered life-changing returns. Nvidia’s market cap now stands at $4.39 trillion, making it the world’s most valuable public company. Shares have climbed more than 79% in the past year and over 30% so far in 2025, according to Benzinga Pro. CEO Jensen Huang has said he’s created more billionaires on his management team than any other CEO, emphasizing a strategy of rewarding top talent with equity. He believes that taking care of people fuels long-term success. With Huang’s own net worth now above $157 billion, Nvidia’s rise continues to transform the AI sector while setting a new standard for employee wealth creation in the tech industry.
