Bloomberg News reported on November 1 (local time) that Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, which has been thriving amid the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, has cashed out more than $1 billion worth of company stock since June.
According to the 10b5-1 plan established in March, CEO Jensen Huang was allowed to sell up to 6 million shares by the end of the year. He completed the sales with the final 20,000 shares reported on October 31. Huang began selling shares in June, after being released from the mandatory 90-day waiting period.
The 10b5-1 plan is a mechanism that allows CEOs and other insiders to sell shares according to predetermined conditions and schedules, serving as a safeguard to prevent insider trading controversies.
During this period, Nvidia’s share price surged 40.8%, rising from $143.83 on June 20 to $202.49 on October 31. The company’s market capitalization also soared, surpassing $4 trillion just one month after reaching $3 trillion on June 12, and then breaking the $5 trillion mark for the first time in global corporate history on October 29.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, CEO Huang’s net worth stands at $176 billion (approximately 251 trillion won), ranking ninth. His wealth has increased by $61 billion since the beginning of the year.
Meanwhile, according to Washington Service, an insider stock trading information provider, Nvidia insiders, including CEO Huang, sold about $1.5 billion (approximately 2.14 trillion won) worth of company stock in the third quarter. The total annual sales last year exceeded $2 billion.
