## Key points

- Huang will forfeit $108 million in unvested Nvidia equity.
- His estimated fortune fell to $143.3 billion.
- A divorce or major share sale could have a much larger impact.

## Summary

Jensen Huang is forfeiting about $108 million in unvested Nvidia equity compensation as he resigns from the chipmaker, which he founded 33 years ago. The loss is small compared with his overall wealth, but his departure comes amid turmoil that has weighed on Nvidia shares and raised questions about the company’s leadership and future.

Huang owns more than 3.5% of Nvidia, mostly in shares held outright, and Forbes estimates his fortune fell from $154 billion to $143.3 billion in recent days. He has agreed to answer questions from three House committees before Congress’s Thanksgiving recess. Legal experts cited in the article say a divorce could put roughly 740 million shares held through family trusts and companies at risk of division, potentially worth about $60 billion; Nvidia may also be concerned about the effect on its share price if he sells stock.
