Anonymous Nvidia employee survey says about half of respondents hold more than $25 million in net worth

An anonymous employee survey highlighted by The Kobeissi Letter on X suggests Nvidia has built one of the most lucrative compensation stories in the tech industry. The poll, which reportedly covered about one-tenth of Nvidia’s workforce, found that 78% of respondents had a net worth above $1 million and about half were above $25 million. The figures drew fresh attention to earlier comments from CEO Jensen Huang, who said on the All-In Podcast that he had created more billionaires on his management team than any other CEO. The report also points to Nvidia’s scale: 42,000 employees across 38 countries and regions by the end of fiscal 2026, paired with a 3.7% attrition rate versus an industry average near 13%. A large part of that wealth creation has been tied to the company’s employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock unit packages, amplified by a stock surge of 22,687% over the past decade. In the same week the survey circulated, Nvidia also said its Groq 3 LPX inference accelerator had entered full production at Hot Chips 2026.
