Nvidia’s Jensen Huang gets 46% hike, bags $50 million pay cheque in FY25; Here’s his salary breakdown

After banking on the artificial intelligence spending boom, the pay package of Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang jumped 46% to nearly $50 million in fiscal 2025.

Huang’s compensation is up from $34.2 million in the prior year, mainly due to the soaring value of his stock awards. The salary portion of his pay increased to almost $1.5 million, up from $996,514 the prior year, the company said in a regulatory filing.

How Huang’s leadership changed the company?
Under Jensen Huang’s leadership, the 30-year-old chipmaker has soared past a $3 trillion market capitalization, cementing its place among the world’s most valuable companies. In fiscal 2025, which ended in January, Nvidia’s revenue more than doubled to $130.5 billion. And the momentum shows no signs of slowing — sales are projected to jump over 50% this year, fueled by a surge in AI infrastructure spending.

Huang, 62, has transformed Nvidia from a leader in computer graphics cards into a powerhouse in AI computing. The company’s high-performance chips now play a critical role in training and powering generative AI models, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Huang also saw his first base salary increase in a decade and Nvidia followed it up with fiscal 2025 revenues of $130.5 billion, operating income of $86.8 billion, and three-year total shareholder return of 384%. Huang’s compensation is made up of a base salary of $1.5 million, a target cash bonus of $3 million, and an equity award that could be valued as high as $27.5 million, depending on performance, according to a Fortune report. After surging in 2023 and 2024, Nvidia’s stock has slipped about 3% this year — weighed down by concern that a trade war and tariffs will slow spending on AI.
