Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made the news after buying an ultra-expensive Maybach SUV.
But the irony is that he didn’t necessarily make headlines because of the purchase.
The news mostly did the rounds because of how ‘insignificant’ the amount was relative to his net worth.
This is true even though, for an intriguing ‘technical’ reason, his salary is much lower than people think.

From humble beginnings
Nvidia was founded in 1993, and for about 30 years, people looked at it as a tech company that specialized in gaming gear.
In the 2000s, during the peak of the DIY gaming computer frenzy, Nvidia was the go-to name for GPUs.
Fast-forward to the early 2020s – so basically yesterday – and people realized that Nvidia also happens to make crucial components for AI.
The company’s stock rise tells the whole story.
Nvidia’s share price had traded well below the $50 mark for years, and then it exploded in 2024.
In 2026, the company is targeting the $200 benchmark, which it already surpassed, albeit briefly, last year.
And it’s probably just a matter of time before it breaks that psychological barrier again.
