Nvidia's Jensen Huang Sells More Than $36 Million in Stock, Catches Warren Buffett in Net Worth

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has sold approximately $36.4 million worth of shares in the AI chipmaking giant, according to a recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

The sale, totaling 225,000 shares, is part of a prearranged plan adopted in March that allows Huang to sell up to 6 million Nvidia shares by the end of 2025.

This marks his second transaction under the plan, following a $15 million stock sale in June. Last year, Huang sold around $700 million in shares under a similar arrangement.

Despite the sales, Huang’s wealth continues to soar. Nvidia stock gained about 1% on Friday, reflecting continued investor optimism over the company’s leading role in powering AI models with its GPUs.

According to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, the 62-year-old executive has added over $29 billion to his fortune since the start of 2025, bringing his net worth to $143 billion. This puts him nearly on par with Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK.A) (BRK.B) Warren Buffett, whose net worth was $144 billion.

Forbes reported that early Friday trading saw Huang's net worth surpass Buffett’s, with estimates placing Huang at $145.9 billion and Buffett at $142 billion.
