"Despite Nvidia's staggering $4.5 trillion valuation and CEO and founder Jensen Huang's $154 billion net worth, his cash bonus this year will only be $4 million if the company meets performance targets, according to a March 6 SEC filing. For some, a $4 million bonus would be life-changing. But for Huang, it's a drop in the bucket at just 0.26% of his net worth."
"Each year, Huang earns tens of millions from Nvidia, but his base salary this year is only $2 million. It's a bump from the $1.5 million base salary he received last year, but even that, his cash bonus is limited to a percentage of his base salary. Still, the award is just one part of Huang's total compensation for this fiscal year, which is yet to be released."
"Despite this, Huang still receives one of the highest base salaries of his fellow billionaire Big Tech CEOs. Apple's Tim Cook earns a base salary of $3 million each year, while OpenAI's Sam Altman only earns $76,001 each year from a company worth $500 billion and counting. Since 2013, Mark Zuckerberg has taken a symbolic $1 salary from Facebook and later Meta."
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia valued at $4.5 trillion, will receive a $4 million cash bonus if performance targets are met, though after taxes it amounts to under $2 million. This bonus constitutes merely 0.26% of his $154 billion net worth. His base salary increased to $2 million from $1.5 million previously. However, his total compensation for fiscal 2025 reached nearly $50 million, up from $34.2 million the prior year, driven by company revenue and stock growth. Huang's base salary ranks among the highest among Big Tech CEOs, exceeding Tim Cook's $3 million and significantly more than Sam Altman's $76,001 or Mark Zuckerberg's symbolic $1 salary. Other Nvidia executives also receive multi-million dollar bonuses.
