A rare day without gains for Nvidia shareholders. On Thursday, investors took some profits off the table after the super rally following the Q2 results and the chip news over the weekend, causing the market value to dip below the $3 trillion mark. However, the performance since 2000 is unparalleled.
Sporting a T-shirt, black leather jacket, tattoo, a cool smile, and a look that says: We are rightfully great and will become even greater, Jensen Huang is the new rockstar of the tech scene. Any lingering doubt was erased last weekend when the Nvidia CEO gave a hot autograph: At Computex in Taiwan, a female fan asked him to sign her dress just below her neckline. “Are you serious?” Jensen initially asked – and then signed.
Everyone loves Jensen. The 61-year-old recognized the immense potential of Artificial Intelligence years before the competition and invested heavily in chip research. The result: Customers are snapping up Nvidia’s high-performance semiconductors, while competitors watch as the company becomes increasingly significant. On the stock market, only Microsoft is bigger. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is now among the ten richest people – his fortune has grown from $35 billion to $107 billion in just one year.
Those who invested in Nvidia at the beginning of this decade can boast a performance of 1,965 percent. Even Bitcoin can’t keep up, despite its price exploding by 890 percent. Gold has gained 57 percent in this period. The DAX has increased by 40 percent. The best German stock since 2020: Rheinmetall, with a gain of 404 percent.
