Nvidia's CEO Dumps Another $37M in Stock—He's Now Pocketed $190M This Year Alone
In a move that underscores the incredible wealth being generated by the artificial intelligence boom, Nvidia's visionary CEO, Jensen Huang, has once again liquidated a significant portion of his holdings in the company. His latest transaction saw him sell another $37 million worth of stock, adding to a rapidly growing pile of cash he has secured this year.
A filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made the sale public, revealing that Huang offloaded 225,000 shares of the dominant chipmaker. This move is nearly identical to a sale disclosed just last Friday, which also involved 225,000 shares and netted the CEO around $36 million. The consistent pace of these sales suggests a deliberate and ongoing strategy.
For those watching the ticker, these sales aren't a surprise signal of trouble. They are part of a pre-established trading arrangement, formally known as a Rule 10b5-1 plan, that Huang put in place back in March. Such plans are a common tool for corporate executives, allowing them to sell company stock over a set period without running afoul of insider trading regulations. This specific plan gives Huang the green light to sell up to 6 million shares of the AI powerhouse.
Since he began executing this year's plan, the iconic CEO has been methodically cashing in. To date, his sales in 2025 have totaled 1.2 million shares, translating into a staggering personal windfall of approximately $190 million. This follows an even more monumental sell-off last year, when a previous plan allowed Huang to pocket more than $700 million, showcasing the immense financial rewards of leading the AI hardware revolution.
Huang's selling spree is occurring against the backdrop of Nvidia's meteoric rise. The global rush for AI capabilities has created insatiable demand for the company's high-powered graphics processing units (GPUs), which are the critical engines behind large language models and other advanced AI systems. This has sent Nvidia's valuation into the stratosphere. While massive insider selling can sometimes rattle investor confidence, in Huang's case, it is largely interpreted as a founder prudently diversifying his immense wealth and capitalizing on the historic success he has engineered. With millions of shares remaining in his current selling plan, the market will be watching intently as one of tech's most influential figures continues to turn paper gains into hard cash.
