Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, has sold more than $36.4 million worth of company shares, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The move comes as his net worth continues to soar, recently surpassing that of legendary investor Warren Buffett, driven by Nvidia's central role in the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.
The recent transaction involved 225,000 shares and is part of a pre-arranged plan established in March 2025, allowing Huang to sell up to 6 million Nvidia shares by the end of the year. In June, he executed the first sale under this plan, valued at approximately $15 million.
In 2024, Huang also sold nearly $700 million worth of shares under a similar predetermined arrangement.
Despite the share sales, Nvidia stock gained about 1% on July 11, indicating sustained investor confidence in the company’s long-term growth prospects in AI and data center technologies.
With Nvidia shares continuing to rally, Huang’s net worth has jumped more than 25% so far in 2025—an increase of roughly $29 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
As of mid-July, the 62-year-old executive boasts a personal fortune of $144 billion, edging past Warren Buffett, who holds $143 billion through his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway. The milestone underscores the growing wealth and influence of tech executives leading companies at the forefront of AI innovation.
Nvidia itself achieved a historic milestone on July 9, becoming the first publicly listed company to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization, surpassing both Microsoft and Apple. The rally has been fueled by surging demand for AI chips, particularly those used in large language models (LLMs) and cloud computing infrastructure.
The company held onto its record-breaking valuation in the following session on July 10, after CNBC reported a meeting between Huang and President Donald Trump—a signal of Nvidia’s growing strategic importance to U.S. tech policy.
Brooke Seawell, a venture partner at New Enterprise Associates and Nvidia board member since 1997, also sold approximately $24 million worth of Nvidia shares during the same period.
Despite the divestitures, Huang remains the largest individual shareholder, retaining control of over 858 million shares, both directly and indirectly through various trusts and partnerships—demonstrating his long-term commitment to the company he co-founded in 1993.
