Jensen Huang has done pretty well out of the AI boom: As the CEO of Nvidia, he now sits on a net worth of approximately $186 billion, and has made multiple members of his board billionaires by association.
It’s a trend Huang seems keen to continue: Sharing the enormous wealth that is being generated by the potential of artificial intelligence, with Nvidia positioned as a key part of the engine, while keeping staff motivated.
Speaking in Taipei on Tuesday morning, Huang told a gaggle of reporters his aim was to pay Nvidia staff as much as he could afford to. When asked about how the distribution of wealth created by AI should be handled, Huang said: “I think people should be paid as much as possible.”
At the Computex trade show, he added: “I pay my employees as much as I can … That’s what I do, doesn’t make this right,” per Bloomberg.
