Its stock price has soared nearly 182 percent this year, following a more than threefold increase in 2023.
Nvidia holds about 80 percent of the market for AI chips used in data centres, which are crucial for running AI models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Since going public in 1999, Nvidia’s shares have increased by 591,078 percent. An initial investment of $10,000 in 1999 would now be worth $59,107,800, according to the Kobeissi Letter newsletter on capital markets.
Originally, Nvidia focused on making chips for video games. However, in the 2000s, CEO Jensen Huang led the company to invest in developing GPUs for other uses, preparing it to benefit from the rise of AI.
Huang’s leadership has not only boosted Nvidia’s value but has also made him one of the world’s richest individuals, with an estimated net worth of over $117 billion,according to Forbes.
