"Nvidia president and CEO Jensen Huang takes a hands-on approach to employee compensation. "I review everybody's compensation up to this day at the end of every cycle," Huang said on an episode of the "All-In" podcast in July. Huang also said on the podcast that he's "created more billionaires on my management team than any CEO in the world." Still, employees who joined Nvidia earlier are likelier to have reaped rewards than newer hires-a pay disparity that employees sometimes openly discuss."
"Nvidia doesn't disclose salary data for its workforce, though publicly available work visa filings offer one of the few empirical glimpses into how much it pays for key roles. The figures come from filings that all companies submit to the Labor Department to sponsor H-1B visas, which Huang has stressed Nvidia will continue to sponsor and cover all associated fees amid evolving policies."
Nvidia's rapid stock appreciation during the AI boom converted some long-standing employees into millionaires despite a comparatively small workforce of about 36,000. Jensen Huang reviews compensation personally and has said he created multiple billionaires on his management team, while earlier hires have tended to capture greater gains than newer employees. Nvidia does not publicly disclose firmwide salary data, but certified H-1B visa filings provide base-pay snapshots for common roles. Roughly 1,900 certified H-1B applications were received in fiscal 2025, and reported base-pay ranges span roughly $92,000 to $431,250 across software engineers, research scientists, and product managers. Reported figures exclude equity and bonuses, and similar salary levels have appeared across other big tech firms amid the AI hiring surge. Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment.
