Nvidia is now worth $102M per employee (sherwood.news)

I know this is more business than tech related, but for some reason I am not able to post it to the business community, so I'm posting it here.

"...For Nvidia, after this latest run-up took it north of the $3T milestone, the company is being valued at more than $100M for each of its 29,600 employees (per its filing that counted up to the end of Jan 2024).

That’s more than 5x any of its big tech peers, and hundreds of times higher than more labor-intensive companies like Walmart and Amazon. It is worth noting that Nvidia has very likely done some hiring since the end of January — I think the company might be in growth mode — but even if the HR department has been working non-stop, Nvidia will still be a major outlier on this simple measure.

We are running out of ways to describe Nvidia’s recent run... but a nine-figure valuation per employee is a new one."

From this, it describes someone losing half a billion dollars which would leave them with over 300 million. That doesn’t sound too bad and is unrelated to difficulty with RSUs.

I linked you the wrong thing, sorry 🤦 I meant to link a reddit thread discussing employee RSU rates at Nvidia, but now I can't find it because Google AI has decided that I don't need to see that anymore.

I'm sure you can find it if you google (again sorry), but there was definitely a lot of mixed bag experiences on it, you're right. The people who got in by 2015-2016 and got some seniority are making out like bandits now.
