r/CapitalismVSocialism on Reddit: 78% of Nvidia employees are millionaires
January 6, 2025 -
A June poll of over 3,000 Nvidia employees revealed that 76-78% of employees are now millionaires, with approximately 50% having a net worth over $25 million. This extraordinary wealth stems from Nvidia's remarkable stock performance, which has surged by 3,776% since early 2019.
Key Details
-
The survey was conducted among 3,000 employees out of Nvidia's total workforce of around 30,000
-
Employees have benefited from the company's employee stock purchase program, which allows staff to buy shares at a 15% discount
-
The stock price dramatically increased from $14 in October 2022 to nearly $107
-
The company maintains a low turnover rate of 2.7% and ranked No. 2 on Glassdoor's "Best Places To Work" list in 2024.
So, how is Capitalism doing at oppressing the workers again?

So 30,000 employees got rich, how does this debunk socialism again? Also, I bet the workers actually making the graphics card weren't the ones actually getting rich, since they probably technically worked for 'Han Zhan Electro-Foundaries' or something

Fascinating to think about. I'm trying to think of other companies that might have had this problem, I'm not sure there are too many examples that have been so dramatic (such a quick rise in share price makes all the employees rich all of a sudden) and for a company so large. The one that comes to mind first is Tesla with it's stock run around 2020-2021.

2 weeks ago - RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) and stock options are a core part of compensation packages — not just for executives, but extending deep into engineering, product, sales, and support functions. The company also offers an Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) that allows employees to buy company stock at a 15% discount. For those who maxed it out and held, the results have been life-changing. ... A mid-level Nvidia employee (not an engineer) who maxed out the ESPP for 18 years and never sold a single share retired with $62 million.

What happens if Nvidia employees hit their “number?” - Sherwood News
August 29, 2024 - The average Nvidia employee earned $73,623 in stock-based compensation in 2020 when Nvidia’s stock was $13 per share. An employee who started at the end of 2020, earning $73,623 in 2020 RSUs, would make $679,598.66 in RSUs alone in 2024, assuming the stock remains around its current price of $120. If the average employee who started in 2020 held all of their RSUs over the last four years, they would have approximately $2.7 million right now. Even if they sold at the end of year each year, they would have netted $1.2 million.

December 17, 2023 - During an internal meeting last month, frustrations were raised about established Nvidia executives operating in “semi-retirement” mode. Though we only have a rough sketch of the meeting content and discussion, the impression is that employees who have been at Nvidia for five or more years are so financially comfortable that they simply aren’t motivated to work very hard.

December 17, 2023 - Well, that's as good as any reason for the huge stock sell-offs when Nvidia was topping out a few weeks back. Some of them likely had it when it was hovering in the low $ 30s, hell some when it was still in the teens. If I was making some $120K a year and saw a chance to pump my bank account into the millions overnight I'd certainly take it. ... Hmm. Having senior employees barely working and raking in million + salaries at the same time as you are proclaiming that the cost realities of the market require that GPU's are no longer affordable like they used to be, seems amusing at best.

August 29, 2024 - Huang’s net worth, which is largely tied up in the chipmaking giant, has also experienced a boost: In October 2022 Huang was worth a little over $11 billion, at the time of writing, his fortune is valued at $112 billion, per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, making him the 12th richest person on the planet. ... His 3.8% stake in the company is so significant that he can afford to off-load hundreds of thousands of shares on a near-daily basis, worth an average of $14M a sale, without its having a massive impact on either the market or his stake. Nvidia did not immediately respond to Fortune's approach for comment. With millionaire status on the line for Nvidia employees, it’s perhaps no surprise that a lot is expected of them at work.
