"...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."

Are they gonna pay them out? /s

Every employee could create their own companies and products. Opportunities and diversification!

Alternatively, each and every one of them can make 101 millionaires and still be a millionaire themselves!

Most Nvidia employees are paid in company stock. They have made millions in the last year.
