Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has revealed that he personally reviews the salaries of each of the 42,000 employees of the company, helps to use machine learning tools but makes the final decision itself. Speaking on All at the podcast, venture capitalist Chamth Palihapitia, Jason Calcanis, David Sachs and David Sachs and David Freedberg hosted by Huang, Huang described his vision as a main part of his management style. Unlike most large companies, where the Human Resource Department silently handles salary adjustment, Huang prefers to check every recommendation.

“I review everyone’s compensation by this day at the end of every cycle. They send me everyone’s recommended Comp. I go through the entire company, and 100 percent time I increase the company’s expenses on OPEX (operating expenses),” said Huang.

The CEO of the billionaire explained the argument behind this individual inspection. “You take care of people, everything else takes care of yourself,” he said, saying that their philosophy is to be paid well to the employees at all levels. “I have made more billionaires on my management team than any CEO in the world. They are simply fixing. Don’t be sad for anyone on my layer.”

His strategy appears to work. According to a survey shared by financial analyst JC Cohen, NVDia employees are millionaires between 76 and 78 percent, with a total price of about half over $ 25 million. Most of this money is associated with the company’s employee stock purchase program, which allows workers to purchase NVIDIA shares at a 15 percent discount. Cohen wrote a screenshot of survey reactions of 3,000 Nvidia employees as well as in a post on X, “Wild State of the Day: 76–78 percent NVDia employees are now millionaires, with a total assets of about 50 percent more than $ 25 million.”

The change of Nvidia has been remarkable over the years. Once mainly known for video games and its graphics processing units (GPU) used in the Xbox console of Microsoft, the company is now a major player in Artificial Intelligence. Its chips provide strength to some of the world’s most advanced large language models, including the newly released GPT -5 of OpenEE, which is asked to walk on the tens of thousands of NVidia GPU.

Since 2019, the price of NVIDIA share has increased by about 3,800 percent. On 9 July 2025, it became a publicly trading company in history, reaching $ 4 trillion market capitalization. The boom has included Huang in the list of top 10 richest people in the world. Huang also believes that small, skilled teams can distribute the greatest successes by citing examples with partnership with AI Pioneers like Openai and China. “If you find a feeling of fairness, inspiration, and correct correct, you will follow the rest,” he said.
