As Nvidia rises to the top spot in market capitalization, there is increasing interest in the salary of its CEO, Jensen Huang.
In the last fiscal year, Huang earned $34.2 million, a roughly 60% increase from the previous year’s $21.4 million. This increase is attributed to a significant rise in stock options and his base salary.
This makes Huang’s salary the highest among CEOs in the same industry.
Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, often referred to as the second Nvidia, had a salary of $30.4 million.
Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, the largest semiconductor company in the US, received $16.9 million.
