Jensen Huang forfeits US$108 million in Nvidia equity after ouster

Jensen Huang will forfeit about US$108 million in unvested Nvidia equity after being ousted, a fraction of his US$138.4 billion net worth, with shares falling and billions wiped from his wealth. The forfeited restricted stock units, roughly 0.08% of his fortune, stem from Nvidia’s policy requiring loss of unvested RSUs upon termination. He holds about 346,000 units, potentially yielding 310,000 shares if performance targets are met. Huang’s wealth is almost entirely from Nvidia common shares, comprising nearly 97% of his net worth, with a 3.5% voting stake and no privileged rights. The 63-year-old co-founder resigned after two extramarital affairs were revealed, having earned about US$7.5 million annually in cash.
