He was worth an estimated four billion dollars ranked number 546 richest on Forbes's world billionaires list Just over a year ago.

一年多前，他的身價約為 40 億美元，在福布斯全球億萬富豪排行榜上名列第 546 位。

He was worth 21 billion dollars ranked number 76 in the world Now with NVIDIA's market capitalization surpassing 3.2 trillion dollars He's the number 12 richest person on earth worth 115 billion dollars mostly thanks to his nearly 4% stake in the company While Huang is the best-known shareholder of NVIDIA.

他曾以 210 億美元的身價排名世界第 76 位，現在英偉達公司的市值已超過 3.2 萬億美元，他是世界上排名第 12 位的富豪，身價高達 1,150 億美元，這主要歸功於他持有公司近 4% 的股份。

There are plenty of others who have personally benefited from the rising stock Among the biggest gainers are five other top executives including chief financial officer Colette Kress and general counsel Tim Teeter Plus four independent board members who together own more than 10 billion dollars worth of stock One of those board members is billionaire Mark Stevens who first got involved with NVIDIA in 1993 the same year the fledgling chip company was founded He was a newish partner at Sequoia when the firm's founder Don Valentine got a call from LSI logic founder Wilfred Wilf Corrigan According to Stevens Corrigan told Valentine quote, there's this kid who works at LSI and I'm sorry to see him go You guys should look at him Valentine and Stevens met with Huang who pitched them on the idea of a company designing 3d graphics chips for PC games Steven says quote and we thought intriguing Sequoia put 1 million dollars into the company part of an investment that valued the firm at just 7 million dollars according to pitch book Stevens who had worked at Intel and was Sequoia's young semiconductor expert joined the NVIDIA board He left in 2006 at a time when Sequoia partners were stepping off public company boards to focus on private companies In 2008 Stevens began to wind down at Sequoia and Huang invited him to rejoin the board Largely because of Sequoia's early investment Stevens now owns five billion dollars worth of NVIDIA shares Current venture capitalist and former tech executive Brooke Sewell was convinced by another tech executive Harvey Jones to join NVIDIA's board in 1997 the two men got to know each other while Sewell was senior vice president of finance and operations at Synopsys where Jones was CEO Sewell recalls that NVIDIA quote was in the graphics semiconductor space Which was a hyper competitive space and the CEO was barely over 30 He hadn't even been a VP before he founded the company.

還有很多人從股價上漲中獲益，其中漲幅最大的是其他五位高管，包括首席財務官科萊特-克雷斯（Colette Kress）和總法律顧問蒂姆-特特（Tim Teeter），以及四位獨立董事會成員，他們總共持有價值超過 100 億美元的股票。據史蒂文斯稱，科里根告訴瓦倫丁說："有一個在紅杉工作的孩子，他是英偉達的創始人之一、有一個在 LSI 工作的孩子，我很遺憾看到他離開，你們應該看看他 瓦倫丁和史蒂文斯會見了黃，黃向他們推薦了一家為 PC 遊戲設計 3D 圖形芯片的公司。斯蒂文斯曾在英特爾工作，是紅杉年輕的半導體

I looked at it and said boy, this doesn't seem likely however Jones who joined the board in 1993 was persuasive and NVIDIA was in search of someone with expertise in finance and taking a company public Which Sewell had done at Synopsys?

我看了看，心想，這似乎不太可能，但 1993 年加入董事會的瓊斯很有說服力，英偉達正在尋找一位在財務和公司上市方面有專長的人才，而 Sewell 在 Synopsys 公司就做過這方面的工作。

Sewell now owns 700 million dollars of its shares Early on it wasn't so obvious that NVIDIA would end up doing so well NVIDIA's first chip released in 1995 had failed Partway through developing its second chip Huang and the team decided the architecture was all wrong And they stopped work on it according to a podcast from the VC firm Sequoia Board member Stevens says quote between 1993 and 1997.

根據風險投資公司紅杉（Sequoia）董事會成員史蒂文斯（Stevens）在播客中的一段話，在 1993 年到 1997 年間，英偉達的第一款芯片在 1995 年發佈，但卻以失敗告終。

We almost went bankrupt three times NVIDIA turned things around and its third chip was a success in the early 2000s Developed the world's first graphics processing unit or GPU which became hugely popular for rendering images in video games in the past decade or so NVIDIA found that AI researchers in both the corporate and academic worlds were using its GPUs to run neural networks a foundation of AI and to create homegrown supercomputers That helped fuel the decision to bet on AI computing before there was a demonstrated market That bet has paid off in spades For full coverage and to see our list of the 10 current NVIDIA directors and executives Who have gotten the richest from their holdings and share sales, which are up a cumulative 36 billion dollars in the past month Check out Phoebe Lu and Carrie a Dolan's piece on Forbes.com This is Kieran Meadows from Forbes.

我們曾三次差點破產 英偉達扭轉了局面，其第三款芯片在本世紀初取得了成功 開發出世界上第一款圖形處理器（GPU），在過去十多年中，它在視頻遊戲中的影像渲染方面大受歡迎 英偉達發現，企業界和學術界的人工智能研究人員都在使用它的 GPU。英偉達公司發現，企業界和學術界的人工智能研究人員都在使用它的 GPU 來運行作為人工智能基礎的神經網絡，並創建國產超級計算機，這有助於英偉達公司在人工智能計算市場尚未形成之前就下注人工智能計算、在過去的一個月裡，英偉達的股價累計上漲了 360 億美元，請查看 Phoebe Lu
