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?

Nvidia’s stock surge mints new employee millionaires, but many can’t yet enjoy their wealth
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is known for fostering a culture of overworking, saying that he prefers to “torture (employees) into greatness” rather than fire them. According to Bloomberg, in 2023, 5.3 percent of the company’s employees left Nvidia. However, once Nvidia achieved its $1 trillion market capitalization, that attrition rate dropped by almost half to just 2.7 percent. To put this into perspective, the average turnover rate for the semiconductor industry is 17.7 percent. More on reddit.com

Report: Nvidia Employees Are Becoming Millionaires, but at a Cost
August 27, 2024 - But, as a new report depicts it, the company’s culture of consistent late nights, wall-to-wall meetings, and CEO micromanagement has some current and former workers worried that the “pressure cooker”-like environment at Nvidia isn’t sustainable. To chart the company’s rise, consider this: On the day ChatGPT launched in November 2022, Nvidia’s stock price closed at $16.91. Today, with the stock trading around $128 per share, many Nvidia employees are now millionaires.

Trapped by their millions: Nvidia employees hit the 1% — but still work 80-hour weeks. Here's how to buy back your time
June 8, 2025 - And Bloomberg reports that with the massive increase in the company’s stock, many employees have become overnight millionaires. The Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) employees get worked by their job, rather than letting their job — and their money — work for them. But you don’t have to be chained to your desk to build yourself a tidy fortune. Although most Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) employees told Bloomberg they’re working long hours for a CEO who likes to “torture people into greatness,” there are rumors that there are some who skate by doing nothing at all.
